    Must be able to get phy. card, Rules make it hard to to earn much payroll type of earnings and stay on disability, with many coming back from oversea needing disability $, if they can work full/time it could take them off of it.

    If he can climb in and out of a truck, then he is not disabled,time to get off of disability and get back in the workforce. IMO

    He has been driving close to 40 years and he runs with a partner, they are team. Where as he is on full disability he said he can make up to $5000.00 a year and not affect his disability pay. They are a man and woman team and have been running together I guess for around 30 years (more or less). If he was looking to go to work as a single driver I don`t think that would even be possible. As a team maybe, I was just looking to some suggestions or thoughts on the matter. From what posts I have read I don`t think there should be any problems and Thank you guys for them.
