How does that line from the movie go......"just when you think you're out, they pull you back in"......something like that. Well just when I thought I was "retired" from driving, I found out that the "life style" of big truck truckin' is in my blood. Originally Posted by devildice

HOWEVER....looks like I MIGHT be coming out of "retirement" and sailing the highways again.....
I originally found an O/O that has a few trucks leased onto Mercer (for those of you that may not be aware, Mercer is very similar to Lanstar) and he was looking for a new driver.
It was the perfect scenario for me to get back into the game and see if I really did miss trucking or was it just a "phase" I was going through. He gave me 100% full access to Mercer's load board and what not as well as 30% of the TOTAL to the truck. Needless to say, I did indeed miss it and made the O/O (and myself) a decent amount of $$.
To make a long story short, I went out and found me I decent used KW and am now once again an O/O going from the "High Seas to the Highways" :-)
