Profile For Don Q.

Is there a Christian owner-operator or someone out there that I could help drive back and forth between FL and NY or FL and NM or FL and CA or something like that, or even short in-state routes? I would think that I could be a great help even if I just drove that long straight I-10 for 700 miles or so a day. But I can do other things like backing, parallel parking (used to back a tractor, baler and hay-wagon combo on a farm). I can also load and unload (experienced with unloading UPS one summer and currently I am a waste management or trash tech where I lift and throw 35 to 45 pounds often in an 8 hr.shift). I drove only 1000 miles for a major company during one summer vacation back in 2010. It really didn't work out - I guess they didn't realize my recruiter said I could train, go back to teach and continue training the next summer. My trainer said they don't do that, but I know I made it clear that was my interest.

Now I am retired from teaching, but my two sons, one 21 years old and other 20 years old want to drive - start a team with me. One is studying to be a pastor, but is pretty sure he will need another job in addition. I am just trying to get experience on my current CDL.A so I can help my two sons. My endorsements are combos, tanker. I let my Hazmat expire - cost to much to keep it on if not using it. One final thing: I have a lot of people ask me to tutor them in math, physics and chemistry. I can even help someone with that. I also have a commercial pilot's license and could teach instrument flying with a flight simulator on a PC. Finally, my wife talked me out of a job where I'd be gone 3 weeks at a time. But maybe one of you owner-operators could use me going back and forth to NY or to CA so I'd only be away a week at a time. It would help me out (getting experience - learning the business), but I feel I have a lot to offer. Please let me know what you think, or contact me if interested in helping me out.
