I am Air Force retiree (1981 - 2001) and currently a DoD Civil Servant for the past 18 years; and looking at retiring from the Federal Government. At 56 years old, I consider myself too young to retire. Plus I like to work. But, I can’t see myself continuing to sit behind a desk pushing paper for another 10 to 15 years. I have always been thought about becoming a truck driver. (I know others who became truck drivers and, even though hectic at times, they have found driving an enjoyable life-long experience. So I know what I am getting myself into. I now just need to get the wifey to warm up to my decision. 😬) I just registered on the “Trucktruth” website to start preparing to at least getting the pre-requisites steps done before truck driver training. (I am working on identifying a truck driving training program near Martinsburg, WV. Found a couple options and just now need to make some calls before deciding on a school.)
