I drove trucks for 10 years as a driver and an owner/operator. I spent most of those years in the Kw W900 and in the T800. I owned the KW first and then I bought a Peterbuilt dblsleeper Cabover. Best sleep I ever had until it was stolen. A story for another day. I just surrendered my class A last month, it was time. I surrendered my real estate license in November after 27 years. Don't let them tell you,
"You can't teach an old dog new tricks" I loved both of those careers but trucking a little more. Loved the road but missed my family.
Keep it between the lines and be well.
