Retired, question.

You still have several companies to apply with.

 

Man... Alright, you tried.

 

I was joking about the job in Colorado. @201 is from Wisconsin and moved to Colorado. There' are milk tanker jobs there though.

Okay, let me in on this, see what I've done now? Chinatown is yanking your chain, but means well, and a wealth of info, just not for you. I've heard from you before, and glad to hear from you again, and let me just find a rolled up newspaper to whaap you upside the head with. Retirement can be boring, partially why I'm here, but I'm a firm supporter of retirement, we put in our time, and going back to trucking is a bit of a cop out. My neighbor sees me sitting in my chair , with headphones on, "why don't you do something", she says. My reply, "look Toots, I waited a LONG time to be able to do this". There's a reason companies won't hire an older person,,,,and comes down to one word, insurance. An older person is like 50 times more likely to make a claim, and health emergencies are nothing to be dealing with on the road. I blast Wisconsin, but it's not so bad. I did a seasonal gig in N. Wis. as a shuttle/loader for a cranberry farm, had a gas, never left the yard. Please, you worked hard and now is the time to relax, drive the elderly trolley bus to Walmart or, IDK, fish with no bait on the hook, even Chinatowns cruise ship deal sounds pretty good, but you are remembering the good things about trucking, and possibly forgetting the bad. Humans have a knack for doing that. When I moved to Colorado, after a lifetime of trucking in Wis., I had no intention whatsoever of driving a truck, and when the DOT guy said, "do you want to keep your CDL? $8 bucks". I said, look pal, I'd stock soup cans at Walmart before I drove a truck again, hit the button, and with that ended 35 years of truck driving, and know what? It felt great! Retirement isn't what you make, but what you spend. I have no problem shopping at a thrift store. Good luck.

 

I used to work at Bass Pro ( Grapevine, TX), I thought they consumed Cabela's, I worked in the fishing department and I loved it, but these places get crowded like crazy on the weekends.. you may have dodged a bullet.. however during the week it's pretty much easy money. I do miss the elk/ bison free sandwiches.. the fudge was also a nice touch. All the best to you!!

 

A while back, while with my daughter on the way to the Richmond, Virginia, VA hospital, she asked me if I would consider getting back in a truck if it was medically possible. I answered that I did not know. Then, about a mile from the I-64 scales east of Richmond, I saw a tractor broke down. Looked like his trailer brake seized up. Then, as we were about to exit I-95 on the Maury Street exit, a truck yanking a shipping container came close to sideswiping us. We missed the exit and went down I-95 a ways and got off. After we got parked and I got checked in at the Radiology department, I looked at Keri and said, Not no but (heck) no!

 

Involving finances ?

I am pondering another tour for something that has more zero's in it than my bank account....
