    I remember when “FedEx” on the Ground trucks was green and blue. I forget all the variations, Freight had one, their intermodal had another and there are a couple more I think that I can’t drag out of the memory banks.
    Congrats on the upcoming retirement. You’ve been a force for good on the forum and I hope you aren’t a stranger in the future.
     
    JohnBoy, MACK E-6, dwells40 and 2 others Thank this.

    Thanks brother. The only way I’ll become a stranger is if the mods have had enough of me.

    As far as I’m concerned FedEx’s loss will be our gain.

    My plan is to interject my youthful experiences I have garnered over the last 44 years and still contribute some useless knowledge I have stored in this brick on my shoulders

    Got the double Memphis run tonight. Starting at 9pm. Been sick all week. Actually, I felt like I died and someone forgot to tell me. I worked a total of 24 hours since Tuesday. My boss felt sorry for me and cut my schedule back. Still made my full salary. Feeling much better now. Not back to normal, but better.

    John boy I'm glad your feeling better. There is no doubt that you have the boss from Heaven. Everything that you have said about him makes the rest of us envious.

    Jeez, what luck I have. My medical card is due to expire on 12/4, poor planning on my part. So I had to go and get a new exam. I was hoping to get only a 3 month card, instead, I get a 2 year card. I begged the Dr to give me a 3 month card, he asked me why. I told him about my pending retirement in February. He wished me a happy retirement, signed off on the 2 year card and left me somewhat dejected. I just had my yearly physical last month. Normal blood pressure, normal cholesterol and my blood work was perfect. Plus I lost 25 pounds. Love this time of my life, getting ready for February 13th!!!!

    Hey all, hope everyone is doing well. We’ve got extremely busy since I got back from vacation. Because of the holidays, we all need to be running the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Based on that, I’m going home this Saturday and come back the Saturday after Turkey Day. I usually, in my past life, got home a few days before thanksgiving and left out the Tuesday after. This will be the first time in the last 15 years it hasn’t happened that way. And based on my short term future, this will be the last time. House goes on the market the Friday after Thanksgiving. Finishing up the last of the things at home to start showing it. Safe travels everyone, God Bless.
