A new life

On October 19 2008 my husband passed away unexpectedly. We were at a truck stop in Connecticut (New Haven), the "Flying J". It was a Sunday and we were on our down time. Around 12:30 in the afternoon we went to take our showers. For some reason I decided to shower first while he was shaving and finished my shower before he was done. He then took his shower, we were having a conversation about where we were going to eat,the next thing I heard was that terrible sound of someone falling in...

I have only driven truck 5 months total plus school. I got into it in 2006, needed a good paying job after becoming divorced. I had twin sons in college and I needed a good income and fast! A cousin of mine suggested I try trucking. Work is scarce in my area. He was an owner/operator, drove flatbed so I went out OTR with him a few weeks. I loved it! I then got a grant to go to truck driving school.

After graduating, I drove flatbed in winter for a month and a half, hauling steel coils....

Hello, life rolls on...who can stop it...sometimes I wish I had that stop watch in the movie 'The witch, the Lion, the Wardrobe'...you know...that watch that could stop time...

As far as opportunity, I went in for a second intview yesterday...time will tell...I've got companies that would hire me now if I were willing to spend lonely nights away from home with no one to talk to...

As bad as things...
