    Well, today I am no longer a trucker. Just got of the phone with my terminal manager and I will be cleaning out the truck for the final time today. It is a weird feeling, this has been my life for so long. I might not be out of the truck permanently though, my terminal manger graciously offered me a part time position that I might take.

    That brings me to another topic. Superior Carriers is the best trucking company I ever pulled for. Actually, let me qualify that. Superior Carriers, Pasadena is the best one. I can't speak for other terminals but I have never had a company that offered me more flexibility, or better freight options than them. If I needed off, no questions, I was off. If you want to pull a tank, I don't think you can do much better than Superior. I wish I had been with them for my entire career. I thank everyone associated with them and especially @wsyrob for convincing me to switch over. Thank you my friend, it was well worth it.

    So what is next for me? Well, I am going to be a middle school history teacher. Some of you may have know that I completed my degree on the road. I have not been idle since then. I started a teaching program and this is the end result. I do plan on going back to school for my Masters degree next year. So, for now at least, I am no longer a trucker.

    You'll always be a trucker, it don't wash off after you've done it so long, but now you're a lot more. Shaping the minds and future of the next generation is a heavy responsibility. I believe you will do very well.

    Do the world a favor and teach those kids that driving truck isn't something that's only for losers and morons would you?

    Just remember to keep the road language on the road or you'll get some unhappy parents. Good luck with the new journey.

    I feel like a slacker. I didn't see how to continue college while OTR.

    Good job on completing a degree.

    Hell yeah, Buddy! You're one of the reasons I chose tanking and I'll be forever grateful! I'm proud of you and absolutely thrilled that you got your degree and found a way out. I wish you nothing but success. Superior may be in my future.
