I don't think there are any that LIVE to retire. Most are dead here.
Seriously, about 15 out of about 100 feeder drivers in last 30 yrs. Don't know about centers where I came from. In different part of building and don't keep up or even see any of them.
Sad, in my case, there are quite a few that retired that were under me in seniority. They may have come from other union trucking companys so that didn't help me out one bit as far as moving up.
Plan to retire here in 2. Will have 31, be 62, collect early Social and don't plan to do anything but consume large quantities of alcohol, er, I mean, Geritol.
Countdown to retirement is gonna be helped along by surgery, tho. Have been out for 3 weeks now and scheduled for total hip replacement in about 2 wks with time off amounting to about 3-4 mos. Hope to go back to work thru summer, then schedule OTHER hip for next winter. Let's see...3-4 mos plus 3-4 mos...hmmm...could be short yr in countdown.
