    [QUOTE="semi" retired;4140910]Hi NNG, actually, that's a big problem, as once you do trucking, everything else, job wise, is less than appealing. I'm struggling with that right now. I'm too young to retire (59 1/2) and too old to pound the pavement. I know, if I commit to a trucking job again, they will run me ragged, and there's limited opportunities for a part-time driver, as I'm not the only one in this position. If you find an answer, please let me know, and don't say, "Go back to school", as I hated school, which is why I became a truck driver in the first place.[/QUOTE]

    There are a few companies now that offer part time otr jobs.
    you do 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off.slip seat with another
    part time semi retired driver.

    I thought everything said on the net was true you mean its not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually there's a lot of thing I don't believe but to prevent an argument from forming I just humor them and agree.

    Get a box fan and a small inverter. Zip down the curtain to the top of the box fan. Turn on front AC. Box fan blows cold air to sleeper. Go to bed. Get trucking. Problem solved.
