Time to sell the truck and move along

fr8hlr521 · Mar 6, 2015

After lots of thought and prayers, we have decided that we need to spend more time at home. We do this with mixed emotions, since we've greatly enjoyed our travels and working with the best carrier in the business. I'm sure at some point we will have to get an RV and become one of those moving hazards that you pros deal with everyday!

Our truck is in the classifieds if anyone is looking. She has been good to us and a real comfortable money-maker.

Like those before us, we will continue to check-in from time-to-time to keep tabs on you all and we wish everyone safe roads and profitable loads.

Rich and Joan....
I left the expediting world back in Sept.it was hard for me also to leave the road but
my daughters being here and me not spending time with them as much as I wanted
made my choice pretty simple I at times miss the sights and the people I have met but
after 15yrs expediting I can honestly say I am a happy camper with the move the 2 of you
will adjust and hopefully God willing you are successful in your new adventure God Bless....

Well this is my second winter in retirement after 25 years as a Expeditior. After watching two winters "From Hell" the timing could not have been better.
I am enjoying my retirement IE: my wonderful children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Life is good. I am perusing my new hobby, ME. Loosing weight (21 lbs so far). Exercising, (bought a bike). Working with straightening out my sleep habits. (using the"Sleep as Android app). Good luck to all of you, and stay out of the diches.
