When we were kids the question that was always asked is what do you want to be when you grow up. I think I had a different answer everytime. But I don't ever remember saying I want to be a trucker. So now that I've been out here for awhile I know what I want to be when I finally do grow up. And that is I want to be anything but a trucker. Maybe I'll collect welfare and my wife and I will have a bunch of brats running around getting in trouble. We can be professional trailer trash!!
Or I can really make the big bucks and have a gravy job like VM. I figure if he can dispatch, I should be able to handle it!! I've been known to tell people where they can go! I can even give them directions.
But I need to grow up first. I know I'm not a grownup yet because people keep saying "Oh grow up". My answer to that has always been thats no fun!! I'm just a kid that's pushing 50. I figure that's what causes my depression. I'm a little kid in a big body.
I try not to take anything too seriously anymore. I think that's what caused so much of my hair fall out. I don't worry about things that hasn't happened yet.But then alot of things that happen ain't worth worrying about because you can't change it anyway. My wife does enough worrying for both of us. Since she's so good at it I'll let her do it.
What I want to be when I grow up

I hate to say this but, I think you'd make an excellent dispatcher. Why? Because, you seem by the way you write, to at least be above average intelligence, your an experienced driver, (You know as well as I that drivers will hedge on getting instructions from non-drivers), and I really think you could handle it. VM-is going to throw up now.....
