Working With Crete

Robert is now on his way with Crete Carriers. I decided to wait for him to get his 6 months in and make sure that this is what he wants to do before i give up my job with Napa as a truck driver. I am driving with Napa part time and loving it. What not to love when you only work 1-5 monday-friday....



This was a big decision for us...Robert making a career change (big one) after 21 years working on computer and training cats to bark with napa. (smiling here). Going to miss the extra automobile and company paying for his fuel since gas prices are up....A difference animal then what he is use to.



I took Robert to Tifton yesterday to meet his trainer....A guy from Colorado Springs, CO...a long way from home , was hoping he would have a trainer that was close to home so when the trainer came home , robert could be home...but doesn't always work that way....anyway....i know he was nervous , as anyone that goes out with someone for 8 weeks and don't even know the guy...it seems (day one) that he is okay, so we will keep our fingers cross. That is a long time to be on the road with someone that you don't know, closed in for 8 weeks...wow, a very long time...I was only out with my trainer for 2 weeks with SNI and to me that was a long time....



We both will miss each other very much...we have not been separated and it is strange getting up and having my coffee without him there....i am having to learn how to make my own coffee and that is something i haven't done in years....he really spoiled me when he was home....



Got up this morning and went outside to have my coffee , and it wasn't too bad....missing him ...I guess you could say i feel like a child home alone....no more spoiling for me....got to learn to stand on my on two feet....(that is one reason i didn't like to be on the road driving, gone for two weeks....no one to spoil me)



Well, just heard from Robert, he is fighting the VA mountains this morning. They are on there way to Marietta Pa, they stayed in NC last night ...His first night in the truck was rough...Crete's truck has opo idle...it gets to a certain temperature and then the truck comes on...on and off...this shakes the truck when started and kept waking him up...something hopefully he will get use to....



Robert said the mountains in VA are beautiful...how well i remember...the one thing i miss about being on the road...so many beautiful things to see...kinda makes you forget about the bad things on the road....like looking for a place to sleep and fighting the 4 wheelers that seems to take over the road....so many good things about driving a truck and seeing the landscape is one of them.



Well....trying to keep busy so i won't feel so alone...

Hubby and Myself

New to a blog.

Here is a photo of the two of us...so if you're on the road and see us, say hello

Working with SNI

Worked with SNI for 5 months and now trying to get on with Crete...My hubby and I are going to team. Didn't like being away two weeks from my hubby so he decided to leave his job (20 years ) and venture out with me. Hubby's application has gone thru and waiting now for mine.
