Was looking through the old postings of folks that were going to an orientation class of their choice and after that ,no more postings,, guess they did not make it,,,discouraged to soon, maybe-- some do not post I guess, but many of the original postings are over 4 years old and nothing after that..Im just rambling...

Why am I not out there anymore,,,one blown engine, got it fixed, transmission died, got it fixed, one computer died on van, got it fixed.. I really had the wrong type of van, an old dodge b3500, underpowered and small rear door opening.Was o/o, got discouraged, then got lucky and sort of retired, but expediting was still the most fun job I ever had....conclusion, imho--expediting with a retirement check coming in would be better and driving for someone else where they fix all the breakdowns.

Didn't expedite with my Dodge. Wore it out going to NYC every other day for four years. OTOH, 414k on the original 360, so what can I say? Did take a second transmission, tho...

Funny I was thinking about this last night. Retirement and expediting. I know you can make X amount of money while retired. Don't know off hand what X amount is, or how that all works. But if X is based on my paper poverty tax level as an O/O, that might be an interesting way to do it

The x amount is 15720.00 if you retire at age 62. At age 66 income is not limited.
