The market is slow but look for smaller places. My last position was a family-owned warehouse with trucking and we preferred older, experienced drivers finding they handled the urban market better than younger guys. Places like this are out there, problem is finding them.

Yes, I'd consider yourself blessed you were able to retire. Overall trucking is no longer a stable career, too many companies/ politicians trying to drop all of the barriers to entry. You could have a 100 years trucking experience, but most companies only care about the last three years unfortunately.

There's a lot of dairy hauling I've seen. I've seen a lot of short class b tankers in Wisconsin.
