My new business is off to a rolling start!

It's a real interesting roadtrip ~

1. Good for you!!

2. How is your new home?

I've only done 4 escorts so far (the equipment cost hasn't been covered yet) but I feel good about working this summer! I hand out letters of introduction and business cards almost everyday.

3. Joani!! Good to hear --

4. I really do appreciate the good vibes from all of my friends.

It's a day by day business ~ Stacy W , a N Y broker, offered me 3 weeks of work that didn't happen. I was a little surprised that she didn't call to cancel and free up my time.
Luckily I was able to go back and pick up a load that I had previously turned down because she booked my time.

5. Awesome!

Looks like we got us a convoy

[In_The_Wind]

6. I've been home sleeping in my own bed every-night!

My first escort was a 92 foot crane. The last 3 escorts have been roof joists. I haven't gone more than 60 miles but the building company is talking about sending loads to Massachusetts. They like using me because I'm local and not working through a broker which saves them a few dollars.

7. How is the union up there?

Just wondering if you'd be getting those contracts once you get set in.

Glad to see a happy piece of news, Joanie

9. I don't know how my work affects union jobs.

I did hand a letter of introduction to the owner of the company that has be rebuilding the I87 & I84 cloverleaf.
No job site too big ~ no job too small.
Like it says on my flyers and in my business journal advertisement Will Get You Where It Needs To Go

10. The jeep has changed since you were riding shotgun.

I'm truly driven when I want something.
Most of all I want to find a way to avoid seeing my home lost to a foreclosure.
We just got a bill from the trustees of the Madoff scam for $664,000. I'm still in shock!

[merh]

19. do what?

I'm so excited about your new indie gig, so excited for you and that it is going so well. congrats on the new adventures.



the trustees are sending you a bill?

13. I'm totally driven ...

to go down the road with an 18 wheeler very close to my rear bumper ~



Thanks for your words of encouragement.

I truly enjoy seeing new roads, different neighborhoods. This is a perfect job for me.

20. Driving can be a great job - you get to be different places all the time,

never have a boss around.
It can be tough, but it is very theraputic if you have worked in a corporation or any similar organization.

All the best to you.
