I have a buddy that is a retired machinist. His wife passed several years ago, the kids are grown and he was bored. He now travels all over the country as a truck driver and really seems to enjoy his new career.
I started driving truck in 1978, got out of it in 1994, (1,000,000+ miles).... then went back to it in 2001. Except i wasn’t driving, I started up a Driving school. Since then we have turned out 1,000+ truck drivers. We take them from pure rookies to being able to drive rigs like pictured below. The fellow on the left went straight into the 140,000 lb Super Trains and the one one the right went directly into his own 100,000 lb logging truck .... we had a fellow pass his Road test last week and stepped right into the ‘Supers.... that is Steve, the second picture....
