should i give up long haul trucking to take a local route near my new grandkid?
58 years old, driving OTR for 34 years now. its the only life ive really known since my divorce, weeks on the road, radio, truck stops, i talk to my rig more than i talk to people some weeks. Amber (31F) just had her first baby out in Ohio. she says she doesnt need me hovering but i can tell she wants me around more, especially since her husband works nights. theres a local delivery job open near her, pays about 18k less a year than what im pulling now on the long routes, but id be home every single night instead of gone 3 weeks at a stretch. problem is i dont know what im like when im not driving. tried it for two weeks once after my knee surgery and about lost my mind sitting in that house. also that pay cut hits different this close to retirement, my 401k isnt what it should be after the divorce ate into it. part of me thinks im just scared of being still. part of me thinks im gonna regret missing this kid growing up the way i missed some of Amber's stuff. cant tell which part is right anymore.
