    Could use a little advice here. We have a driver that will retiring soon after 45 years of service with the company. What would be a great retirement gift from his fellow drivers?

    Thanks!

    What does he plan to do after retirement? A gift appropriate to his retirement plan. If he plans to fish, for example, a gift card to Bass Pro Shop or Cabela's or Gander Mountain, etc.

    deleted. My idea would be too expensive for a few drivers to buy.

    If it were me I'd want a nice John Deere garden tractor and a nice kitchen since I'm seldom leaving the property.

    Get him a cool golf cart, painted like his truck. Then he can cruise his property and camp grounds.
