Retired!..........again!
Well my fellow truckers, its come time for me to retire from trucking.........again! After running the road for the last 3 years (19 total) I have finally had enough of the new DOT rules, HOS and all the rest of the bullcrap out there to last me a lifetime. I retired about a month ago and found a job as an A/C Tech here in Florida. I got trained in 7 days, and now I am out making money again, only work 8 hours a day (Instead of 18) and I am home every night with my wife.
My stress level has decreased so much even my wife noticed the change in me. I am more relaxed, no more bags under my eyes and I am always happy! Life is good after the trucking industry wears you out. I will stay on the boards to offer advice to newbee's and read the stories about other drivers, but I dont think I will ever get behind the wheel again. I will now enjoy fishing and boating like I used too!
Farewell my fellow OTR drivers, its been fun!
The Instigator ~!
