FedEx Ground Linehaul with JohnBoy

Not recent. It may have been incorporated into another class, but most schools districts have it as a sophomore social studies class.

 

90 years old here. Last DOT physical, I got a 2 years card. But, not too many carriers will touch a 90 year old. The last carrier I drove for is Alan Ritchey, hauling U S Mail. Best company in my 62 years of driving. I would still been there had it not been for the post office give the route to a freiight broker. I go to the gym at least 3 or 4 times a week. Do all my yard work. God has richly blessed me in my old age. I am not on any medicine.

Oh, for me personally, reitrement is for the birds!!!! I miss trucking, but I am very picky . I ain't touching freight and I am #### well going to be home daily.

 

Live life to fullest because no one knows when it could end is what I tell people nowadays…I tell people don’t worry about things you have no control over either…

 

JohnBoy,
You sure have the boss from Heaven. I bet you wish you had him from the beginning. I know if I had found him long ago I would have considered not retiring when I did. Enjoy the rest of your time working for him.

 

My mother is about waist deep in dementia complicated with bad COPD. If you ask Her at 10am what she had for breakfast she can’t remember…. When I tell her she is 83 years old she is shocked and amazed. She thinks she is in her 60’s…. She says she doesn’t feel old. She can tell you in detail about her horse when she was 12 or growing up taking care of the chickens… but she also says she went sky diving once (she is TERRIFIED of heights and never sky dived) and how she travelled to Japan once with my father (they didn’t)
I’m glad for every day I spend with her. Getting old is a ##### sometimes…. You’re right… enjoy your time here cause you never know when it’s gonna take a turn for the worse. She has such a good attitude about it all. It’s hard for me to have a bad one around her.

 

Dementia is so ugly. I mean it’s horrible for anybody to end up having that and more so for the family members that have to watch the person that has it… I wouldn’t wish that on anybody

 

agree here
