I spend a few moments with the Boss, you know the one I call Dad.
Then I go into the truck stop get a cup of go juice and make sure to say a kind word to the person at the fuel desk. Hey you would need a kind word if you delt with a few 100 drivers every day yourself. As I start walking back to my truck I start praying for the drivers in the lot and ask that God's grace and favor will be over them as they travel down the hwy's that day. As I get back to my truck I put my hands on it and say a prayer for my own safety and that God would use me to touch the life of another driver on this day. No don't get me wrong I'm not one of those bible thumping Christians your mama warned you about but I am A driver that gives credit where it is due.
One thing I do know is that my life as and O/O was almost over staying in the red was a way of life for me. My son working as a fry cook at sonic was making more money than me. I could'nt afford to give my truck back to freightliner and have a bad mark on my credit (at 44 it's hard to try to repair) but at the same time I could not afford to keep it notes insurance fuel and road tax and fuel itself hitting 3 bucks I couldn't hold on much longer.
But one day I put it all in God's hands, I thought if anyone could save this business he was the man. I begin to send %10 of my earnings to Feed The Children I started reading my bible every day and doing a whole lot of praying. Making God the number one detail in my life and my business, and it begin to turn around almost like and over night thing. This last month my inpocket profit was $8600.00.
So with this web log I want to help you to do the same thing. You can turn your business around you can live a better life and you can have a friend to help you with any problem you could face on the road, check back here and read daily words for over the road and let God help you turn it all around
God Bless
and be Safe
