CHANGE CAN BE FOR THE BETTER

Sometimes it's ok to change - if the change is going to be for the better - change is always difficult at first...such as when my husband and I decided to get out of trucking 2 years ago. We came to the conclusion that it just wasn't worth it anymore. The insurance and fuel costs were killing us and we were fighting all the time about money. After sitting down and doing the math my husband finally agreed that it was time for a change. He misses driving his old Kenworth but I am happy he is at home more. At first it didn't seem like we were getting ahead as the big checks weren't coming in but we also weren't paying those huge bills either. After a few months he could see that it was the right decision. He does land clearing locally-and is now able to hang out at the local diner - a more leisurely pace - sees the neighbors more - works in the garage more. No more getting up at 4 am to rush to work - no more sitting in traffic - or rushing to meet delivery deadlines. The old Kenworth was sold to pay off the bills that had piled up from trucking - that was the hardest part. Be brave and do the math - there are other alternatives to trucking that you will find alot more profitable and less stressful in the long run.
