It's a Team's Life
Expediting isn't just a lifestyle, it's an adventure;
Trucking is an
adventure period.
When we decided in
1998 that we were going to leave our "normal" jobs and become over
the road truck drivers that is when our adventure started.
It took us a
couple tries to get it right but giving up is not in our vocabulary.
First try was Bob going to school, becoming a
driver at a large truck load carrier and me riding with him till he had enough experience to teach me.
Our first load together and my first
experience going to Massachusetts was enough to convince me I DID NOT WANT to
pull a 53' trailer.
Then I became a
rider trying to keep myself busy and entertained each day, this was not the
most pleasant adventure.
We were not in
control of our destiny with forced dispatch and Bob a driver.
Next attempt was
to leave trucking and start a lawn care business.
While we both liked the lawn care business,
this was seasonal so Bob drove in winter and I rode with him.
In time we realized this adventure was not
taking us to where we wanted to be in our lives.
Now came the
research into Expediting and finally we found the lifestyle and adventure that
fit us.
In the first week as expediters
we went to upper Maine and came back down to Tennessee and there was none of
those feelings of extreme fright as there was with that first trip in a
T/T.
The adventure now revolves around our Freightliner truck and where all of us will end up next. We have as our kids say, "found ourselves" at last. Both Bob and I like to try new things and we both like to say, "YES", which has led us to be involved with some pretty cool things.
The bucket list
is long and when one adventure is crossed off it seems as if two new adventures
are added.
We continually keep our eyes
open to trying new things and we are always looking for ways to improve our
business.
