After I park the rig for good, I’m thinkin’ of becoming a mattress tester. Professional napper sounds right up my alley after all these years on the road!

I did 43 years and a little over 4 million miles. Mostly flat bed,heavy haul,drop deck. I traveled all over the lower 48 raised three kids,seven grandchildren with my o’l lady at the helm of our house. When I hung it up in 2019 I had been planning on retiring and slowing down. We sold our place and moved to the top of a mountain where I hike and work out in the morning ,then work in my wood/metal shop. We fish at the lake in the summer months and play in the snow with the grandkids in the winter. Do I miss the road? I would be lying if I said no, the wife says I shift gears all night long, I admit I dream about my trucking days most nights, although I wouldn’t ever want to get back in the seat.

At 37 I hope that in my mid 50s health insurance will be affordable enough (assumption that healthcare reform takes hold) so that I don't need to do full time work year round. At that point spend a season at a mountain town operating a shuttle bus, or doing hospitality/restaurant work with the occasional trucking gig. Worst case scenario would be in the trucking grind at 55 plus hours a week until I stroke out in my 60s.

Once I hit 50 I will hang up my keys for good. I’ll probably be in either the Philippines or Thailand living near a warm beach drinking cold beer with an 8 or 9 at my side. Living the good life lol.
