Drivers perspective

Here goes nothin', I've been a professional driver now for nearly 8 years. I basically graduated high school and started driving, after a short stint working for my dad that is, so at the age of 19 and against the advice of many, I attended Roadmaster driving school in Tampa, Fl. As many of you know the chances of getting a job at that age is slim to none but I was actually able to land a local gig right away hauling sod in central Florida. Training?? Not quite, more like "here's the key's, be here at 3 am" can anyone say wake up call? Now like most of the new guys I #####ed and moaned and threatened to quit god knows how many times, and in all truth probably quit and went back to that job atleast 5 times I was what you would call the grass is always greener guy, funny how as soon as I would jump the fence a terminix truck would veer off in my green pasture and spill all of his pesticides and all the green grass turned quickly to a shade of brown I'd rather not discuss. I played this hit and miss game for many years, I posted on another forum in basically the same fashion of many others on here and bashed the hell out of any company I would quit just for the sense of knowing they were the ones who had done me wrong and that there was no way in hell my attitude might have had anything to do with it. Well life came along as they say and I got my head on straight, I moved to Tallahassee, Fl and was hired by Pritchett trucking and it seemed almost immediately that my demons from the past were arising once again and surely I would end up quitting, but something was different this time, I told myself to give it an honest effort, don't quit, and make yourself and your wife proud and that's what I've done, here it is 3 years later and I could not be happier. By now everyone's probably wondering why is this guy blabbering on so much, well it's for the sole fact that if atleast one new guy, or any guy for that matter reads this and changes the way he looks at life and his job in general, in such a way that you don't feel the need to get on here and bash companies, or others drivers for that matter due solely to the fact that they enjoy working for Werner, Hunt, Swift the list goes on, then the fact that one person listened means that the crap I've been through in life may influence the positive outcome of another. Many will say I'm crazy for liking Pritchett as much as I do, but it's what makes me happy and at the end of the day that's all that matters, put yourself first as drivers and do everything in your power to control where your future takes you. I'm only 27 but I thank God I've been able to learn this life lesson now and not still be hopping fences at 60 years old looking for the pasture of green that will never be there.........
