50 yrs old and wanting to start driving, recommendations?

Tell your kids to figure it out for themselves. Your responsibility ended when they turned 18. Millennials, sheesh!!!!!

 

I believe you are right. Posted at 1:01 am, got a belly full, thinking, THAT'S IT, but the next morning, that alarm went off,,, still, maybe someone in a similar situation might help them.

 

I think you misread what Hes sayin here....lol

 

ok, now that we heard from you, let's go back to the beginning. Like I said, probably in a good spot, as those things usually are the kiss of death for a driver. Probably worse today with phones, calling you with a problem every 5 minutes. Years ago, the truck was our sanctuary, where we could get away from it, do the job, and deal with crabby when you got back. Listen to chinatown on where to go and what you want to do. Good luck.

 

One thing I hated was hearing on the Truckstop counter via a driver and his telephone at the stool.

But hon, Aw hon, see here you, now you listen, what's wrong with you baby? don't give me that, hey wait a minute etc etc etc etc. In a voice progressively both louder and whiny.

I would smile to myself thinking I am free as a bird in those days and if I ever got married....

 

Look into Millis Transfer. $500 upfront for schooling and then taken out in weekly payments from your paycheck the 1st yr. Top pay for students. Im a trainer with Millis let me know if you have any questions.
