Old like me and Errol?? Now just because the neighborhood kids believed me (and told their parents) when I told them we didn't have school buses as a kid, they just painted the dinosaurs yellow and we rode to school on their backs. . .

Smarta$$ed young whippersnappers!! :) :) :)

Thanks for the welcome and the good news Brett! I'm finishing up my last flying gig here in Saudi Arabia, and should be on the road by the end of the year at the latest, maybe a lot sooner depending on how those 4-letter nutcases about 3 hours north of here behave. I've always wanted to be a driver, now I'll be able to do it! My parents told me a long time ago that my first words were "big chuck!". I have since learned how to say, and spell, TRUCK! Yes Errol it was a good year, and I was watching the Captain when Dancing Bear was the new guy. I look forward to joining you guys as an Old Fart, with all respect for the Three Rules of Being An Old Man.

Hello! Yep, don't know how I got this old this fast, but here I am. I've been making a decent living for a while as a professional pilot (NO airline crap, don't own a tie) flying for corporate and private owners, even doing some government contracting in fun places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and northern Africa. I woke up this morning to discover I'm 63, very healthy, with a lot of miles left in me, but nobody wants to look in the ****pit and see somebody's grampaw sitting there. I've completed the CDL training course here on Trucking Truth (best online training I've ever seen) with a 90-something score. I'm just looking for some idea about whether or not there's a future in trucking for a guy like me. I didn't get this old being thin-skinned, so the unvarnished truth of your opinions is appreciated.

Have you ever received a paycheck signed by a poor man?
