One Way - New Career

Hey, thanks guys for your comments. Roadhzrd, Loconuez, and VM. Hope you all are doing well. All points are considered and appropriate decisions made! Thanks!

Roadhzrd, thanks for your help. I do have wireless card and tried the Iowa rest areas while in the area. Seems they're just for local info. What'd I do wrong? Couldn't seem to bring up anything but local weather, ads, travel info, etc.

Just arrived in ID, last night. MA to ID in 4 days. Including several hours of work on my vehicle in Iowa. Had several stops to figure out why it was running so bad. Dude, I was down to 35 on the interstate for awhile! Changed distributor cap and rotor (really needed it), fuel filter (which was clogged, somewhat), as well as the previously exchanged catalytic converter. Still having same problem, but, not as bad. Planning on changing out MAP sensor, today and maybe some new plug wires. Any words of wisdom? Symptoms: Runs fine for first 3 hours, then, begins to run rough and drops the speed to about 60. If I press the gas, it bogs down, as if it's flooding. Replaced 4 of 6 plugs last month. Need some special attention to get the last 2 changed. Also, if it gets bad enough I can pull over, shut it off a few minutes and start all over. What affects it most, is putting a load on it, like hills, mts.

Today I'm sitting at a cafe in Couer d' alene, ID. Great little place. Fireplace, coffee and wireless, what a life. God is good!

Speaking of which, VM, I appreciate your note. Just to respond; the Bible says "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23. So, you're not alone. An even bigger part of the prob. is that sin has a penalty. "The wages of sin is death..." - Romans 6:23. Pretty serious. That's why I want everyone I talk to, to know that there's a problem, so we can get it taken care of before it's too late. The good news is that "...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Rom. 6:23 Also, John 1:12 - "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name." Sounds like it has nothing to do with religion, but its a personal relationship with God and you, through Jesus. Just trust that He paid for your crime by His death. If you do that, you'll never have to answer for your sin (which would be eternal death), but, instead, you'll live! It's an awesome plan! And pretty simple, really! Lot's more info on the subject at ww.calvarychapel.com. Links to CSN Radio, Podcasts, ebooks, etc.

I rescheduled my training start date to the 27th to give me some time to get there, and take care of some things before then. Long way to drive, from Maine, to CA, by way of ID! Had a great trip, though. Stopped and spoke with some guys from C.R. England. I have yet to run across anyone who was legitimately unhappy with the company. These guys had just picked up their new truck, this month. I know there is NO perfect job. That's because people are involved. I'm really looking forward to getting started and somewhat bracing myself for any problems, to come. Also, I know that whatever comes, will be preapproved by God for my life. I'm just here to serve Him the best I can. In turn, I also know He's faithful to meet my needs and open opportunities to serve. I like to drive and the thought of getting paid to meet new people and see the country really appeals to me. In reading through a fellow bloggers experiences, the thought of getting my own truck later on, sounds good. I'll have to evaluate everything, but, not opposed to the idea. I do like to be in charge of my own business and look forward to being out on my own, someday, soon.

Any words of wisdom from those of you who run your own trucks? How's the pay, etc. Of course the expenses are there, like any other business.

Hey, keep me in prayer. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Until then, God bless and don't forget there's just ONE WAY!
