    Do you miss working? I semi retired in 08 when I sold my trucks but couldnt stand not being in the truck a few days a week. At 69, this time is it though. My back is shot, and that helped me make the decision to quit.

    Yes I do miss it.
    I have trucking dreams about twice a month, ranging from "can't find the consignee" to "danm I have to load that and where are my fall-off trucks"
    Those are the ones that I remember after waking because I still feel tired. There are probably more but if they don't irritate me then they are not memorable.
    This website helps to scratch the itch by allowing me to help some of the guys with a bit of my hard earned lessons whether they use it or not.
    I still feel the old "13 speed twitch" now and then.

    right about that… I can’t seem to
    Stop buying trailers

    right now the green energy world is giving me the finger

    so I am rediscovering my roots….

    even though I wish I wasn’t - I miss my big trailer - should bought the thirteen instead of the tower trailer
