Unfortunately, this was in one of US Xpress' trucks. The poor woman in the car I collided with was driving her mother home from the hospital (who...
Route 97 is an awesome road to take for leisurely day-off drive. All the way through the "Hawk's Nest" to the Riverside Creamery in Port Jervis...
You're not railroading the thread at all! It's great to hear the thoughts of someone in a similar headspace/situation. It's the never-ending...
Exactly, you get to sample just what this country has to offer on a state by state basis. I really miss that! I may have to live vicariously...
My hiring "tier" penalizes us for drawing from retirement before we're 63 (which isn't too far away from 58). Also, we have to put in 30 years. I...
I'm amazed at how well Microsoft has protected their interests in cloud services, operating systems, VoIP communication technology and gaming over...
Yeah, it seems like a driver shortage for a very specific type of driver lol. I can't blame the trucking companies though. They're just doing what...

I might end up doing just that. Thanks for the input!
It's really cool to know that a driver on this board had a reason to pass through the tiny town of Hancock! Were you here to refuel at the "Old...
Darn you for being so reasonable! Every point you've mentioned is true. This is what the little voice in my head keeps saying... but at the same...
You're right. That's something I haven't considered. As much as I dislike my current job, it does give me a lot of freedom to pursue secondary...
I have similar worries as well... to the point where I'm not even considering SSI as a probable source of income when it's time to retire in 30-35...
This is really awesome. Props to them. It takes a lot of discipline to plan your own retirement. However, based on their story it seems like it...
