[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 5131283, member: 52978"] I started at 21, and retired at 59. Don't know if a get together would have been feasible. Feeder drivers come and go at all hours. Hard to get a bunch of them in one place at one time. The company never suggested any kind of farewell. When you are no longer on the clock, you are of no use to them. My son still works there (19 years, about 15 in feeders) He is in a new building, and I wanted to go visit him and see the operation, and was denied by security to even set foot on property. My relationship was a love/hate thing. I butted heads sometimes with immediate supervisors, but I was usually left alone to do my job. I do miss the camaraderie with my fellow drivers. I still stay in touch with a few on FB, and we have a retiree's luncheon about every 6 months. My son did take a pic of my last tractor the day before they sent it to the junkyard. He had the pic blown up and posted it in dispatch for the employees to sign and say something to me, and he had it framed as a Christmas gift. I treasure that, and it hangs on my wall, complete with the set of keys from it. [ATTACH type="full"]366953[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
