    I used to have “the IH guy” hauling for me a couple loads a year. In his 80s, drove IH truck, with IH tractor decals. He loved international Harvester stuff. Iirc 79 years young. Darn good driver. Always happy when you see him.
    But while it’s getting closer every day. I would hesitate having an average 82 yr old driving even my short under 70 mile round trip, no work loads. *ok a minute with push broom* So if you can get in, out of truck. You could do it.

    UP North:I had a friend that did that job
    But he was based out East. Obviously most of that work begins at the factories. There may be some inter dealer moves. In today's economy might not be much. Thanks anyway

    At 78/79 I was still doing reefer long haul. Would have stayed at that job But most loading/unloading was always delayed. That meant finding a parking space at night
    Too stressful. Night driving on 2 lane roads was difficult. I drive a 42 ft
    Motorhome towing a full size pickup. Not the same as a tractor trailer. But still requires you to be aware of all the ills of the road. Maybe I will just stay home
