An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

I’ve seen that truck recently too. Not that I’m aware of, last I heard Bulldog was on their own. But I would say most people outside of SPD don’t know the relationship we have with Wylie, so who knows.

Quit…. No doubt. I started trucking after 30 years of climbing ladders, working on roofs and hot crawlspaces…I’m spoiled. I love my air ride, air conditioning, I’ve idled every single night in 580,000 mile on this Tupperware torpedo I’m currently driving, and I’ve even gotten used to an auto… spent enough hrs on the Cross Bronx to LIKE my auto…I like my elog and GPS… I have nothing but respect and admiration to the old timers.. yall are hard core… I aint….

 

If Cross Bronx means heavy city driving, I'm with you all the way there, I swapped for an auto to save my left knee and right shoulder from disintegrating completely. Not so hard core when it comes to bits dropping off.

According to Google the average is ≈$84k, ranging between $42k and $133k. Even assuming the higher end, that's barely middle class anymore, especially in Seattle area. According to the article you linked the sticking point seems to be the pension anyway. Not everyone wants to pass away at their job.
