    After spending my entire adult life or what feels like it driving truck, I decided to retire. I spent a lot of years with CRST and it was great for me. I made a nice living doing what I enjoyed and not a lot of people can say that. I was going to hang around for awhile and work for John Christner but momma sat me down and said its time daddy and she was right.

    i would still recommend CRST for someone new just getting into trucking but know that you will need to prove you got the goods to really make it there.

    i am enjoying life at home in West Monroe, Louisiana just fishing, going to bingo and spending time with my grand babies.

    Enjoy your well deserved retirement. Thanks for getting just about everything in my house to me over the years. Without you and your professional brothers & sisters, I'd have nothing.

    I always enjoy asking this question when I run in to my friends that have retired, just to get a smile.... Are you feeling guilty yet?.... LOL

    I hope you enjoy every minute of it.

    I'll let you off on the CRST posts just this once.
    Enjoy your time with family.

    If I see you spending excessive time on here, I'll call your despatcher and get you a load ASAP - OK!?
