I paid for the property over in Lebanon over 20 years while I was working for the State of Illinois.

When I moved down there I was living in a trailer park.

My first truck driving job was a dedicated run to Florida back around 2001. It paid $750 a week in CASH. I bet that old boy was making so much off those loads he was paying both ends of Social Security.

When I left there I went over to IWX. You had to start out on the relay out to Kingman, AZ. It was a midnight leave every week. We had a race track over in Lebanon so the roaring cars kept me awake in the evening. It was hard to stay awake but I did it.

Once in a while they would send you into California to drop a trailer and pick one up. I smoked the brakes once or twice coming down that hill on I-15 into L.A. LOL

After that I went over to team driving and then when my co-driver screwed up on a flyover ramp coming from Connecticut into New York, I went to see the Safety Director and he put me out driving solo.

I did a lot of miles safely but had a few too many tickets so I had to resign.

Needless to say I am lucky to recall anything from the old days after the meningitis wiped out so much. ;)
