Check out my Trucking Journal from the tabs on the left. I made a new entry today. :-)
Yesterday was my last day at Omaha trking Co. I had a teary goodbye. They have been wonderful. After getting the rental car & lunch, I cleaned out the old trk and loaded up the rental & went west 250 miles to Cedar Rapids, IA.
I chked in at their training center. The place has a college dorm atmosphere. They pre set me up with a hotel room. Kelly & I checked in and it took me about 5 trips from car to room to get everything into the room! lol. All the stuff that I carry in my big rig. blankets, pillows, clothes, dog food, porta potty, trash can, cleaning products, broom for sweeping out trlrs, all kinds of footwear; rain boots, snow boots, regular boots & flip flops. etc... So I'm going to get lunch here soon. Stay tuned, more later. :-) I've been stuck in too much snow this winter so far. I gave my 2 week notice last Monday. I will start with a new company where I can choose my loads. I will have more CONTROL over where I go. I am looking forward to that.
Stay safe, truckersue & my dog Kelly. :-) Monday I am giving my 2 week notice to my current company. I will be changing to a new company to be a Lease Owner Operator. Two of many reasons for this move are: I can pick my own loads, and I'll make more money. I won't be stuck in snow, high winds & tornados as often. I have a good mentor that has been working with me & getting me prepared for my new venture. I've been a OTR company driver for 15 years. And now I'm moving up in the business. :-) Stay tuned to my Trucker's Journal to follow my story. :-)
