My World


Hello. My name is Chris Espejo. They used to call me Redbeard on the C.B. radio back when I was an 'Over the Road Driver'...

Chris

Welcome to the NEW "AD/POP-UP FREE" home of my website, formerly located at redbeardce.8m.com and now http://redbeardce.com/, hosted by my ISP, Optimum Online. My site was written entirely by myself with EditPad Lite v6.22. I learned how by reading and looking at other pages here on the web. With a little trial and error I managed to figure it all out. So if this 'over the road' trucker can write this stuff...then so can any of you.

I was born on December 11, 1960 in Brooklyn, NY. I grew up in Jackson Heights, Queens, NY. Moved back to Brooklyn to work for Friedman's Express then Tose-Fowler Trucking then St. Johnsbury Trucking and now live in upstate New York in a little town called LaGrange (about 10 miles east of Poughkeepsie, NY) so I can work for Yellow Freight.

Due to the events of 9/11, Yellow Freight deemed it necessary to layoff a lot of it's work force in Nov. 2001. Faced with not having a job for the upcoming Holidays I went out looking for gainful employment. On February 11, 2002 I interviewed with the New York State Department Of Transportation and by 2/13 was working as a Highway Maintainance Worker in Region 8-2 Fairview. So with 20 years as a Teamster truck driver, I retired and started a whole new career.

Ahh...trucking, is it in the blood or under the skin?

Dara

This is my wife...Dara, most will say, my better half. She grew up in Jamaica Estates, Queens, NY. We met in 1981 and were married in November of 1984.

We have three beautiful children... Kayla, Cory & Kyle, and our Yorkshire Terrier...Maximilian "Max".

Dara works for Compensation Risk Managers...CRM in Poughkeepsie, NY and I work for...NYSDOT at Fairview; Poughkeepsie, NY.

At any rate, this retired Teamster turned DOT man and Insurance Underwriter are enjoying life...and raising this wild bunch!

 

 

Let me introduce you to the rest of the family...
