    Well single NOW!lol
    I sold a restaurant,and got my skinny butt outta the family restaurant business,so i got a lil coin left to hold me and the girls over for awhile.
    I got my CDL-A a little over a month ago and im looking local for a family run and operated company,not really looking to join a big company where im just a number.
    Im looking to add as many endorsements as i can to it before i really get hired,i want everything,so i can do everything,I got my bitro already,im working on my twic and hazmat now,then im going to get a P.Im sure i wont need them all of course,its just when i find the company to call home,i want everything needed to start immediatly.(Im looking at the highway garage in my area,maybe someday I can change a tire for one of ya!lol)
    My girls are 25,23,21,(and out of the nest)and the twins are 9 going on 35,so im not looking to really go OTR.I thought i was done being daddy,oooops is all I can say.The twins have been a real joy to me at this time in my life and i really think at my age,im a better pop for them,so i really want to be around.(no offense to the OTR drivers)
    Im pretty open and direct,and gots opinions to share,and will try to stay well within the rules of the forum.Im looking forward to making new friends and connecting more with others from other sites im on.

    Welcome to the forum, Topsdusty! Many folk embark on trucking as a "second career", so you're not alone in making the career change, so don't hesitate to ask questions. There's lots of good information here on the boards as well as plenty of knowledgeable members willing to answer questions you may have.

    Enjoy your twins. I was an "oops" baby (or, as I prefer to be called, a "bonus baby" - LOL) and you are right -- I am convinced that I got the best my parents had to offer in terms of parenting. There were five other kids before me to get them through the learning curve! :biggrin_2559:
