    Thanks, I should know tomorrow if I go in for an interview, yes Pete is still in Waukesha along I-94, as a matter of fact Kenworth and Freightliner in Oak Creek had adds the last two weeks looking for transfer drivers, applied for both also and only Kenworth called back but nothing after that, Freightliner never called but hay, who wants to deliver Freightshakers anyway when you can deliver Pete's or KW's. As far as planning for retirement everyone needs to realize that you only have so much control over your life and no matter how good of a job you do or how good of a person you are, someone or something is going to pull the rug out from underneath you which is not your fault, it's all luck out here, know of a driver that lost his CDL for DUI and didn't drive for 3 years, gets hired on with a company running Wisconsin to Chicago and back every day, he got into a lot of trouble with the company that I don't want to get into detail but never got fired now he has a 3 bedroom two bath house, his sister helped with that but she passed away some time ago, I could go on but not worth it. As far as my daughter goes, ya if something happened and she needs me, i wouldn't feel good, I have to think positive about her future, as long as her healing goes ok and the cancer doesn't come back she'll be ok. She lives in Manitowoc and her cancer hospital is about 2 miles away, but has a medical transport to pick her up for that, but with her surgery she has to come to Milwaukee for that, only time she will need me is if the doctors make a quick appointment and she cannot get a medical transport in time, that's when I'll go up and pick her up and take her back home. Anyhow, I applied at KLLM but really don't think anything will happen. If Pete calls, just hope it will be steady work instead of 1 or 2 days a month.

    Sounds like you got the hard part handled...... Keeping a mostly positive outlook.

    Sounds like you've been through worse and came out the other side fine. Just time to do it again.
