Closing the Book

The Trucking Funks are myself, Bob, and my wife Teresa. We're turning the last pages towards conclusion of successfull careers in data processing. The last two of 5 kids are in college, Andrea graduates in May and Tracie is a Freshman.

We currently live in a suburb of Chicago. We've sold our house, lucky for us, it closes on 2/1. Then we're off on a Carnival Cruise (2/2) down the western Mexico coastline, hoping to see some whales. Then we head for truck driver training in Green Bay, WI, on 2/15.

We'll be training with the big pumpkin trucking company, Schneider National. We expect to be based out of Gary, IN for our team trucking, at least for the short term.

Teresa is finishing the last of her quilts. We actually left almost EVERYTHING in the house for the new buyer, so we have very little to move. Hurray for me!!!

We're learning gobs from the orange web site pumpkindriver.com.

So exciting, we can hardly contain ourselves. Way back when I joined the Army and saw much of Europe, now we're joining trucking to see the great US of A.

Please follow our saga as we live and learn on this new adventure.

Bob

I saw your comment on another blog and had to write to you. Two years ago, my husband and I, sold our house with everything included, and took to the roads. He drives, I navigate and write about it on our blog. We have had quite the experiences and can't wait to write a book about it in the coming years. Best of luck to you on your new journey. We have loved every minute of it and have never regretted our decision to take this journey together. Good Luck!
