    Hello to all,
    I am a newbie to the forum. I think its a great site. I have a question and I would to have your opinions. I am 50 years old and soon will be 51. I drove for over 12 years. The last time I was in a big truck was 20 years ago and at that time I was pulling a tanker in Va and WV. When the wife became pregnant with our second child I slowed down and came off the road. I no longer have my CDL. I am getting the bug again and wanted to ask what everyone thanks about me getting back into it. I would need to get my class A and indorsements once again. I would like to go over the road and travel not just local.
    Just tell me what you think, this is something that is really running thru my mind and something I think about everyday. I do have a job and enjoy it now, but I have always loved to drive. I am married and have been for 27 years. We have a daughter in colleage and our son is in the Navy stationed in Kuwait. I would like to travel with the wife once she retired.

    Well thats it. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
