[QUOTE="soberups, post: 668236, member: 14668"] Then I will do something else. Another option I have considered is being the owner-operator of a tow truck. A couple of years ago I got my package car stuck in the mud so my center manager called a tow truck to pull me out. The tow truck showed up and it was an older guy who had his granddaughter and his dog in the truck with him. They were listening to music and the little girl played with the dog and ran around and picked flowers while grandpa pulled me out. He made about $150 for the tow, and it didnt look to me like he was working all that hard. I could easily do that sort of thing and it will beat the hell out of lumping parcels out of a truck in 100 degree heat when Im 50 yrs old. Bottom line is, I wont have to earn very much in order to cover the difference between my pension and what I make as a full time driver. Money isnt everything. After 30 years, it will be time for me to move on and do something different. You only live once. [/QUOTE]
