Mr. Lockwood,

Sad to read that this is your last article. Have been in trucking all my life. Our company Minimax Express will be celebrating 33 years in business next month. Have always looked forward to your articles. Always learned much from your articles. They will be missed.
Enjoy retirement.
Yves

Rolf
Good luck I your new adventure, I always found you an interesting read. I’ve been in the trucking game for a long time and have been amazed at how technology has transformed our industry, but in the end as I know you know it’s always been about people. I appreciated how you communicated that in your articles.
Best regards

Thank You for all the great information that you’ve given the industry over the years. We’ve spoken over the years and I’ve mentioned to you that we both got into this industry around the same time, only me as a driver and owner operator and you as a scribe and radio show host with “Key To The Highway” way back when. I’ve been retired for a couple of years now and can’t say that I really miss the industry but I still enjoy reading your columns and will miss them in the future. Here’s wishing you all the best in whatever the future holds for you.

All the best to you, Rolf. You are an institution in our industry, whose wisdom will be sorely missed. And, believe me when I say that over the years, I listened to you. Perhaps not always as well as I should have, but always. Congratulations on a remarkable career.

I didn’t realize you were getting up in years. (Or that I am I guess). Thank you for your years serving us with informative articles. You would be less than human if you hadn’t made a couple of mistakes in so many years. I have always thought that your articles were more closely touching the truth of trucking than others I have read. Happy Holidays and sincere thanks. Rus

Your leaving? Retiring? Got a better gig?
I have spent most of my working life in trucking.
Now, I happen to be a young or perhaps childish 70.
I’ve been reading your articles since day one.

Although trucking is vastly different from way back. One thing that has never and will not change.
The integrity and professionalism of those Involved in our chosen trade.
Your articles have always been interesting and informative.
All the best.

Thanks for the many years of writing excellence Rolf. Your skill at the pen was remarkable and your skill for editing was just as compelling. Looked up an old email from my writing days when you use to critique my early work for TT. You said “ Hope this didn’t sound harsh. I’m just being direct, and you did ask! It remains a worthy piece, I should add, just in need of a little more content and a bit of restructuring”.

Simple words from your opinion helped shape my career to where it is today. Thank you my friend and now go and enjoy your full retirement.
