I finally decided to fulfill a dream I've had since I was a kid. I worked 30 years as a construction lineman and retired. I've been retired for four years and I'm getting bored because my pension doesn't leave much after the bills are paid so I decided to start a second career and fulfill a dream. Being only 58 and in good health I have a few good years left I hope. LOL. Some of my friends think I nuts coming out of retirement, but I'm tired of just sitting around the house. I drove a line truck for 30 years and love to drive and figured why not fulfill my dream of driving OTR.

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

I'll look for you Kip. What's the chances of running into someone on TT going to the same school at the same time?
