New Career ... From the beginning.

In my own situation....we now have my 90 year old father in law...bedridden ....requiring 24/7 care living with us. We made our dining room into his room....my daughter is separated from her husband....she and her 3 kids moved in a couple of years ago....I was laid off a year and a half ago....my wife and I started a flower shop....she's a wonderful designer....but we just can't work together. Flower shop is having a hard time making money....so I felt I needed to get a job. I live in a very depressed area...my background is advertising..and to continue in that field, I really need to relocate....can't do that. I've looked into taking a job in Chicago...which I could do...but I would have to set up an apartment and figure on some commuting....so,, that idea is a no starter,...this truck thing is not a bad alternative. My living expenses CAN be minimal.....if I stay out of the Truck Stop restaurants...and with this job with SNI, I am home 2 days a week. After a while...6 months or a year...I can look for other trucking jobs...dedicated runs....local.whatever.....but I have to pay some dues and get some experience. So, my wife is not wild about these no arrangements....but I have a job...and this part of it doesn't have to last forever. Every situation is different....but today we have cell phones...Skype....direct deposit....debit cards....it is much different today than even 5 years ago. As my friend Wedge says....thanks for reading. Best of luck....stay in touch. Mark

 

Finally. Got my next 2 days preassigned. Back in the saddle again...as Gene Autry said. I had a real good meeting with my dbl today...got to know each other a little...he set me with with loads to N. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. My day begins at 4AM tomorrow...nighty nite !

 

Yes...stay in touch...March will be here before you know it....you'll have a job by early summer.
