Danelady,
My partner is a retired truck driver, Teamster for 40+ years.
He retired 5 years ago just in time to take care of me! LOL!
He's always said he'd like to go back on road with me and cross the country...uh, no, not for me. Also says this new brand of truck driver is much different.
But I think all of us over 60 just possessed a different work ethic. Not to say there are not many younger folks that work hard cause I know my son works his rear off as a nurse 7-7 but him and I took great pride in doing our jobs and going above and beyond.
Yes, I think your days of driving trucks is gone but I do understand your passion for your profession and it's nice to hear of so many that did help you all out during pandemic.
Positive vibes headed your way.
