    Cool deal.

    I'm hoping I can take at least one of my boys out one time, it will depend on whether I'm still driving or not. I've got 12 years to retirement, but both my boys are still younger (8 and 11), and our rider rules restrict the age from a minimum 16 to maximum 70. My coworker's mom was able to go a couple times with him, but now she can't anymore because if the upper age restriction. Still, not many local companies even have a rider program, so we have it pretty good there.

    i dont know if i could imagine fully retiring. im 37 but i just cant imagine not driving ever again. its in my blood now. perhaps when i got to that age i would semi-retire and do dump truck part time or something like that. as long as i can pass a medical, im going to drive. many retired people work some B.S. walmart greeter job or similar. NO THANKS.

    I was riding with my dad at 5 and all 3 of my kids were going with me by 5 years old as well, I was running 11 western then so a trip was at least a week.

    Those are my favorite memories in a truck, my granddaughter will be 5 next year and if she wants to go I will be thrilled ;)

    Absolutely if the boss is fine with it take them as often as you can, I guarantee most farmers won't mind at all.
