I was a Sr. Legal Administrative Asst. and I worked for Presidents, VPs and Corporate General Counsels.

I also Managed a Department for a company that does Real Estate Tax Examining (boring).

And, I was a Realtor!

At times, I did all of these at the same time. I like a good challenge! But, I love driving a truck for FDCC!

My husband, Co-Driver, and all around good guy used to be a Retail/Restaurant Manager.

We never saw each other - 2 ships that passed out in the night. Now, we can't get away from each other. Now there's a change!

Fleet Manager (the maintenance side of things). Gave up the desk for the steering wheel...and don't regret it one bit.

I was in college working different jobs, and then I got a job driving a university bus. When I finished school it was a choice between being stuck in front of a computer for 8 hours a day or do something else. I don't know why, but I would go insane to do the same thing every day. So, I got my class A CDL and drove a big rig for a while, then bought my van and started expediting.

I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you.

Have a good one.
