You can back a trailer, correct? Go become a yard spotter. It may not possess the glamour of the BBR/Calvin Coolidge lifestyle, but it's work, and, if you get in with the right company, you can make pretty decent money, and have a nice benefits package, to boot. When I came back from the war with half a leg missing, I didn't feel like getting back on the road, plus I had to deal with a whole lotta red tape before I could, anyhow. I'm making pretty decent money doing this, I work a fixed schedule, which allows me to actually make plans, and the work is comparatively simple. Yeah, I might end up assembling and disassembling doubles from time to time, but that's really not so difficult.
The company I worked for prior to being activated will have an asphalt tanker position opening up soon, and I might be willing to give this up for that job, simply because it breaks the monotony a bit. Otherwise, I'll stay put, because I'm damn sure not hauling trash or flipping burgers.
