Well, the Mrs and I left NY to be closer to our son and his family in NE Ohio. After over 7 years off the road (yard jockeying) I was able to get a job with a medium sized flatbed company that my son was working for(see avatar). Surprised the crap out of me but what the hell! After 25+ years of trucking around the the northeast what a difference out here! Way more miles than back in the NE US but mostly easy miles! Home just about every night, good people to deal with for the most part. Gotta get used to the company driver deal! Always either drove for or was an owner op! Nice putting fuel in the truck and not giving a crap what the top number is on the fuel pump! And get points too! Best part is I was very pleased to see that I can, at 61 years old, still do the flatbed thing and do it well! Hope it continues to go well.

That's wonderful you moved closer to your son & the both of you work together. It was a joy for me I had to get my son to help me unload a load 2 weeks ago. God bless your family & the new memories. To the rest its not like your flying the space shuttle.
jdchet Thanks this.
