Message:: [QUOTE="buck and a half, post: 173324, member: 3618"]One thing that's kind of funny to me. Most folks that I have known for many years have or had to switch careers halfway thru to retirement,also many I know have switched and are happy doing something else. While I have tried that,Went to college for autocad drafting for eight months on a course that lasted for two years to get my degree of 4 yrs full time. I could not afford to keep going and stop driving trucks,in my case it worked out fine,I would never have been happy in a room drafting plans all day stuck inside or out in bad and good weather. I am glad that trucking is one occupation that has many variations,days,nights,local,regional,over the road long distance,trash cement,wreckers,reefers,fats,aut haulers,hot shots,there are almost no limits,30000 to 150000,driving a truck ,almost as free as a bird,and thats not even driving your own truck,unions,nonunions,no limit,I read the obituaries very day to see if I am in it,ha.ha.,Alot of times more than other jobs ,I read lifelong trucker,very loving father brother etc,that reall sticks in my mind,alot of others have had many different occupations  in their lifetimes.[/QUOTE]
