    I did. Customer turned out to be.... incompatible with common sense.

    Moved across the country to help Mr.E's mama. Stayed with the same company. Went back in the truck in June. Soon to be retarded, er retired.

    One book chapter closes, another blank new chapter waits to be written.

    I think you will write a good one. Have a Merry Christmas!

    Im doing the same soon next year. I haven't worked as hard or as long but my weight has caught up with me.. before it didn't bother me much because I had active jobs... But now walking gets me winded at times.

    I'm still young and I don't like where trucking is headed (laws, self driving trucks etc) I know I can always come back. Knowing that, I'd like to try to do something else while I still can, while replying on my licence as a backup.

    Good luck. Hope everything works out

    One of my co-workers is retiring this week. The place won't be the same without him.

    I picked him up a little 100 proof going away present. :D
