    I had no exit plan in 2018. the wife had had a series of strokes and a bad one late. 2018. came off the road to care for her and when she died never went back. lol.

    was just gonna take some time to settle finances and such then go back out for a few more yrs.

    found I could afford live off my meager S/S and just decided to enjoy the slow pace.

    Very interesting the last few posts, I looked up California, you’ll still need to file a medical form BUT it’s only for Intrastate and it depends on the individual.

    Strange I still have a CDL. I bought another semi, still drive exempt. I was told I only needed current medical card ÎF driving non exempt. Twice driving for hire $100 to see Doc in Á box, piss in cup, fake color blind test. *I am borderline color blind*
