Joe & Tow's new trucking adventures/ex GTI thread

you were in Camden?

 

And I used to rappel out of helicopters in the Army. That's kinda dangerous. Try it sometime.
I have a daughter who turns 28 next month. She never walked to school. She always had a ride. If you want to let your daughter's walk around on a dark street good for you. I won't say another word on the subject. And by the way there isn't much that upsets me anymore. I've seen plenty of nasty xxxx in my life.

 

seems to me your always agitated
your not the only guy was in the Army or did dangerous stuff
the boat i ran for 28 years was never dangerous
200 miles offshore in Feb
kids are all spoiled today then they dont know responsibility
walking to school in my little town of 8000 seemed ok to me

 

You know what? I will be retired from this business by next year. Maybe even before Christmas. I am not agitated. My father died last year and left me a
nice piece of change. God bless him may he rest in peace. I still have some business in my life to
tidy up and being employed is necessary when your dealing with banks and such. I have had quite a long ride in these big rigs. Nothing quite like driving down the open road watching a beautiful sunrise or sunset. I figure I have driven
maybe 3 million miles give or take a few. Maybe I sound agitated to you but I am actually very happy at the prospect of retiring from trucking. I have had two minor accidents in my career. One was my fault and the other wasn't. Fortunately no body was injured. Maybe I do take life a little to seriously. I am what I am. My biggest worry now is what to do next with my life. I am only 51 years old. My health is still pretty good, just a few minor ailments associated with truck driving. I think if you want to survive in this line of work you better take it easy. Don't be in a hurry. Patience and courtesy are the word. I am very happy with the company I drive for now but I don't need this for
much longer. If you drive a truck just for money
you will end up hating it. Everyone be safe out there where ever you may be.

 

Oh well. Back to the north/south debate. After I deliver my Akron load tomorrow, I'm picking one up going to Palmetto, GA!!!

 

North/South? Heck man I get twitchy any time I'm east of the Mississippi!

 

they will just think you are another crazy White Volvo driver

 

I would too, but I live here, and in order to keep the wife happy I have to stay on this side of the big river. She knows that going out west means being out more than one week.
