Don’t get me wrong. I’d rather be working out of Canada than anywhere else in the World. It’s just that after more than 40 years of lorry driving, I think I should have gotten off the bottom rung of the ladder. But soon as I think that I’ve cracked it; something goes wrong and I am back to square-1.
The hours have always been long, always hard graft and the money has never been for nothing. But “Living the dream” for me is dreaming about retirement: loading up the Mack and parking it on a beach down in the Baja. Trouble is: with my lack of pension plans, I’ll be back to long-haul after just one Winter.
