Driving a commercial semi and hauling up to 57' trailers can hardly be called a retirement. It entails getting full time commercial insurance, a contract with someone that will arrange for your loads, fuel tax agreements and a whole lot more. That is without factoring in that a load will probably need to go someplace other than your planned vacation spot. Also, nobody will agree to arrange loads for you when you tell them that you only want loads that go to point A from point B. Driving a commercial semi is a full time profession. Leave it to the pros.
It is not that as if we will be depending on this for a living, lol, but I did asked a cargo-trucking broker friend from my former church, and his answer is that this can be arranged with him I bet as another trucker church friend says his lease with one of the big boys did not allow him to refuse cargo or routes and dreaming of being independent one day after paying off his lease.)
And yeah, my ideal set up like this will be on a Tesla semi (discussed in a separate thread here. I'm sure wifey now will be willing to be on the wheel with it being full self-driving).:B
