Time For A Transition

We wish you the best man!
I hope your wife's condition will improve.
Are you able to complete your lease? Forgive me if I'm mistaken about you leasing a truck, but I was thinking I remembered you as one of our hard working lease operators in here.
Seriously, I hope things improve for both you and your wife.

It wasn't a lease, I was buying the truck, and no I couldn't finish buying it. There may be some difficulties in my future for that, but that's not as important as being there for my wife.
You have all my respect Miracleofmagick. You're making a tough decision, but your doing the right thing.
You know you're welcome in our discussions anytime.
Again, I wish you and your wife the very best!

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
Really sorry to hear that. I have enjoyed your posts and engaging with you on the forum. You are always a straight shooter offering pragmatic, real-world advice and experience. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Try not to be a stranger...best of luck to you and the Mrs.
Thanks for the well wishes. I will miss driving, but as Old School said, it's the right thing to do. I will probably maintain my cdl in case something comes up. Heck, I might even get my passenger endorsement in case my church needs someone to drive the bus.
