truck driver at the age of 90 years and 55 days old.
Archer has been driving trucks for more than 60 years, racking up approximately 5.5 million miles behind the wheel.
"I do not plan to retire any time soon,"
Archer told Guinn ess World Records. "As long as my health
holds, I will keep driving. I do not have the word retire in my vocabulary."
The great-grand- father of 26 said his career has taken him all across the coun- try, hauling all sorts of different cargo.
"Anything you can haul in a truck, I have hauled it," he said.
