    Default Looking for driving info.

    Hello,
    I am considering retiring after 31 years from a auto company. I'd like to try a different way of life and supplement my pension. I'm 51, no tickets, no record and no kids at home. Ideally I'd like what amounts to a part time job driving to where ever, but I don't know if the animal exists. I live in southeastern Michigan. I'm not afraid of work and putting in time to get what I want is just part of life. Any information along these lines would be great.

    Thanks,
    Rick

    I've also seen 3 man driving teams for other companies.
    It's like driving part time.

    Thanks Jayburd for the quick reply. Is Wortham anywhere near Burleson? I lived there in the early 90's. Its just south of Fort Worth. I checked out the website. Is there any other options, being away for weeks at a time might be a stretch for me unless it was dues to be paid.

    There are probably some part time day driving jobs in your area, but I am sure they require experience. Usually the path to those jobs leads you from a driving school through some time driving over the road away from home to get the experience.

    Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool.

    The Road goes ever on and on
    Down from the door where it began.
    Now far ahead the Road has gone,
    And I must follow, if I can,
    Pursuing it with eager feet,
    Until it joins some larger way
    Where many paths and errands meet.
    And whither then? I cannot say.

    Try one of the driver leasing co's. I did that for 2 yrs when I lived in Columbus Oh. I signed on as a casual and called them when I wanted to work. Some weeks I would take a turn around trip from Columbus to Lincoln Neb, some weeks I would just run local, and some weeks I didn't work. But there ain't no benefits with that type of job. If you need health ins. your out of luck.
    The devil made me do it the first time,
    The second time I done it on my own.........

    Rick,

    Your welcome...and good luck.

    Worthham is south of Corsicana on I-45,near Mexia.
    Funny Anna Nicole always claimed Mexia as her home,but I've never seen her name anywhere,not even on rest room walls.
