    December 2nd will be my last day as a Professional Merchandise Redistribution Specialist. First Social Security check arrives in January. Medical card expires in December. I may never drive another truck. Although, I've had a couple offers to fill in now and again. I might do that, depends on what beach or mountain top is calling me at that particular moment! :D I'll continue to hang around here as long as I'm interested in the radio hobby. Feeling Blessed!:thumbup::thumbup:

    i will be in the same situation in a few years. i will let my DOT card expire just after i retire, as i too will not have any interest in maintaining that at a cost i nary would want to spend.

    i have NO desire to "fill in" for anyone at anytime.

    we all "did our time", and "paid our dues" dozens of times over anyone else can do.

    best we all retire ASAP rather than to work till we die, and NEVER enjoy the quiet life.

    Good for you mike! I hung up my keys OCT this year, although at age 60 I will work a few more years locally in a non-driving position. Enjoy!

    Congratulations, you are going to miss out on driving one of those new Tesla semi trucks that Wal Mart is buying, should be interesting. You need to setup up a base station at home and keep the cb hobby going, enjoy retirement.
