Truck driver b.s.

Good morning driver's, hope everyone has a great day and a safe day today.
It's going to be in the 50's today what a change from last week.

 

I don’t know but from what I see on a daily basis English won’t be their first language , courtesy is foreign to them no matter what the language and very,very few of them are actually good drivers.
BTW I was going to download that song this past weekend but I got to listening to other songs and forgot to.

 

Make sure to apply for Medicare 3 months ahead of the 65th birthday...they will take their time, just sayin'. There is a penalty if you aren't set up before 90 days after turning 65.

 

Thanks. We’re getting a five month head start.

 

You should see them drive up here in the snow lol. The stories are funny but not really.

 

Yeah I gotta talk to someone to learn all the details and get set up for Medicare. I'm 6 months out right now. So I have some time.

 

HUMPDAY!!!
Had a crappy long ass day yesterday. Days like that just wear me out anymore. I'm so tired this morning. It's crap like this that makes me want to just say screw it and retire.
41 degrees here at 4:30 in the morning with Temps falling all day and becoming very windy again, 20 mph winds gusting to 40.
I helped a flatbedder roll up his tarp in these winds the other day. The wind caught the tarp and blew us across the parking lot like a human kite. Lol.

 

Good morning driver's be careful and have a good day today.

Don't die before retirement, as the song says let it go let it go.

As for temps we have 45 and windy today but heading to 60. I get your tiredness. Seems like yesterday was a long day. Fell asleep on the couch last night.

 

Good morning driver's I hope everyone has a good and safe day today.

 

Heavy loads and long days, make me want to scream!

 

I'm turning 65 in April. But I plan to keep working for a bit. So I need to see what I have to do. Just don't feel like hanging it up yet.

 

If you keep working and have insurance you don't have to do anything. But you need to sign up for medicare at least 5 months before you insurance stops. I'll be signing up soon. I plan to hang it up at 65 in July. Plan is August 1st retirement. I'll work part time somewhere doing what I don't know. But I think it's time to get out of a big truck, it's killing me physically and mentally.

 

Yes it does beat you up.

 

I'm out of the truck for now and working at a PVC pipe plant.
My view from my station this morning

 

Unless something changed in the last year, Medicare's website said that you can sign up no more than 90 days prior to turning 65, but you must be signed up less than 90 days after, or there is a fine...that you'll pay yearly.

 

Good to know, but I'll be talking with someone about it soon just to be prepared and have all my ducks in a row.

 

A small load of big truck wheel studs. Only 18k.

 

It's FRIYAY!!!
Rain all day, better than snow.
Be safe drivers.

 

Good morning driver's have a great day and stay safe. Have a great weekend when you get to it

Thank goodness it's been a long week on the river.
