Am I Crazy?

I've thought the same, going back on the road w the wife riding shotgun when I retire from my teamster gig.
Don't have a union pension but a couple others in my future but the med benefits would be a big savings till my government bennies kick in.
Wife wants me to retire and move to a more temperate climate like KY, but after 44 yrs of truckin I don't know if i could command a recliner

 

I am actually getting ready to replace one of my chairs with a proper plush recliner, nothing too outrageous, just a basic cloud able to recline to tredlenburg position when necessary.

 

Many temp services hire cdl drivers. Pick & choose and work when you want to.

 

I'll try to cheer you up. I turned 66 December 18, just got my CLP today and start training on Monday. I am looking forward to a new career (not getting back in as you are) with the goal in a couple of years to start a company and get son and daughter involved.

One of my favorite quotes hits the mark "If you think you can or if you think you can't you are right".

Good luck with deciding yay or nay.

 

@x1Heavy,

Think I have gotten a fairly good take on you in the time I've been here ( No worries, very good take, always).

No way my money is ever going to be on you becoming a cubicle rat! No way, no how.... I just don't ever see that happening.

 

Mmm-hmmm. And when all the other drivers aren't answering their phones, guess who they turn to, to take that hot load to Wilkes-Barre, Pa.,,,just this one time,,,,
