only in trucking

As some of you might know I retired in March after 42 years OTR.
I was still in shock over parking my truck that I forgot to tell my last good trucking story.

So here is how the story begins.
The day before I am scheduled to turn in my lease I get a call from safety.
He tells me that this has nothing to do with my retiring but that I was drawn for a random drug test!
I of course start laughing and ask if he wants me to stop by the Hospital on the way to the office and pee in a cup for him.
He was very thankful and said that would work.

Now that is where most stories would end but it gets better.
I go into the pee palace and check in at the front desk and tell the nice lady that I am here take a drug test.
She asks if it is preemployment or random I tell her it is random and it will be my last one as I am on my to the office to retire after 42 years.

I get to the back and do my thing and I am just #### chatting and one lady comes back and shakes my hand and congratulates me for 42 years.
I get ready to leave and the lady doing my test gives me my paperwork and says this for you and hands me an envelope.

I get out to the car and it turns out that they all signed a card for my retirement!
I get home and hand the envelope to my and tell her to read it.
She reads it and says she can't believe that the staff at the pee palace did something like that.
Then she says, "well they either love you or they hate you don't they".

Oh, and in case you were wondering no i did not get a card from my company after being there 28 years LOL!

Well that enough rambling for one day. Be safe!
