Because my pickup truck and my trailer are rated for over 26,000 pounds I must have a CDL to drive it. No big deal since I have had a commercial license for over 60 years but now, as all commercial drivers know, I must pass a physical each year to keep that CDL endorsement. I use my hauling outfit to move tractors and farm equipment that I buy and sell so I can not just give it up.
As anyone who must pass this health test knows, they can be quite inclusive and they have many reasons to fail you. One area is your blood pressure which can not be over 140 over 80. For a younger guy or gal that is no big deal but when you get older it can be more and more difficult to reach that limit. Myself, being in my eighties, it becomes more difficult every year. This year it was 128 over 70 but who knows what it would be after driving a few hundred miles in crazy traffic. Also, as drivers like Jon from MN, will tell you many of those little car and pickup drivers should be required to pass some annual driving test to.
I consider myself to be a good and safe driver and if I ever doubt that I will quit driving my rig but until then watch out for that crazy looking old fool barreling down the highway like some wild teenager. Happy farming.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
