tjc transport Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 a friend of mine, 87 years young, was sitting at a red light in his 89 R model tandem dump. drunk driver running from police came into his lane and hit him head on....WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. drunk was killed. Bill's insurance dropped him instantly..... and refused to pay for damage to his truck... never had a ticket or accident in his life. forced retirement and was dead 6 months later. he kept driving to give himself a reason to get up in the morning. 1 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

BOBWhite Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 This guy looks healthier than most of truckers that are 30+ years younger! These are the type of guys farmers are always looking for when hiring a trucker for the season. The younger guys might move a bit faster but they tear up the equipment in the process. What was the biggest change in trucking? Well tubeless tires of course! lol 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74560-61-yrs-of-driving-and-cant-get-a-job/#findComment-558678 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was well past his late seventies l'm sure. lf we walked across the yard l would have to trot to keep up with him! He was always the first in and most of the time last to leave in the afternoon. l'm not sure he lived six months after he retired. His nephew was the mechanic and he looked twice as old as the uncle. .....Hippy 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74560-61-yrs-of-driving-and-cant-get-a-job/#findComment-558681 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks, but not surprising.
