economic sense
yo bird dog......
when you turn 66 you can collect full social security and work full time.......
that adds about 20 grand a year on to the 75 plus road driver's wages are now.....
when you turn 70 you can collect your full pension of about 3000+ a month, collect full social security of about 20 grand a year and your road driver's wages........
not to shabby for a guy who YELLOW publicizes in the propaganda rag as a real hero....
i love those guys because they never get out what they contribute to pension plans and that means more for ME......
if they are senior to me i don't buzz behind their back that they should retire, let them take their daylight bid runs and live and work to be 70 1/2......
if the creek don't rise and i stay healthy enough to pass 2 more physicals, i'll be out of here on july 1st 2008 (1 day after my 63rd birthday [worth 125 bucks a month more] and 123 consecutive good quarters paid in freight pensions in 2 locals) and i will never see the inside of a truck or promise to tell stories around the campfires about my "trucking exploits".......
i'd like to see YELLOW call me up to run a trip after i go......
mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

pps; i work out once or twice weekly and my wife does too........
