The End and the next road traveled.

Well it's over.
My business as an owner operator is now over. Betsy is gone. She has found a new home. I'm not really to upset about it either.
My lease with the Trucking Company is over too.
Thank God.
Tugboat is a real go getter and I have always been able to make wise and swift business decisions. Financially it will be weird.
Before, I was able to buy or spend with careless abandon. Now I'll be wiser with any choices to purchase big ticket items. This will be the only thing I miss.
On the plus side, no more worries about having to make sure the truck is moving.

Bill is gone. Our relationship is over permanently and guys it didn't end like I wanted it to but do they ever end well?
I wanted us to be able and stay in contact. But this isn't going to happen and I'll tell you why.
Because I'm not strong enough, and we would be caught in an endless cycle of breaking up and making up. Look I LOVE HIM, and yes I know he loves me.
But this cycle was killing me.
Bill needs to find something inside him to face his demons. I can no longer carry this burden for him.
It kills me.

As for Tug. I've had several job offers, and since I'm no one trick pony the choices were many.
But I have diesel in my veins. The road and the blacktop are my friends. So I've decided to take a driver position with a company out of Fargo, ND.
I start a two day orientation on Monday in Fargo, then after they receive my drug test results (required by D.O.T), I'll be assigned a truck and the rest you all know to well.
LET'S RIDE HO!
The benefits are generous and the only thing I have to worry about is getting the frieght there safely and on time.
So this will leave Tugboat plenty of time to work on TUGBOAT!

Now just because I work for a company based out of North Dakota doesn't mean I'll be living there. If you've been reading my blog for any amount of time I explained how the company driver jobs work.
Trucking companies hire drivers from a wide area of the U.S. and the company that hired me needed drivers based out of Las Vegas.
So I'll enjoy one day off for every week I run and these days can be accumulated and used together.
Meaning if I go out on the road and drive for three weeks, then I'll be able to go home for three days. My plan is to drive two weeks on two days off, so every other weekend I'll be home.

There you have it ho's.

Beth, from blind as a bat recently blogged about all the friends she has made on her blog. This is true for me too.

So to Beth, David, Froggy, Mrs A, Joy, Ken, Miss Ginger, Kayce, Mr. Mischief, kimberp, and anyone I might have left out, THANK YOU.
Even though I've never met any of you, I consider all of you my closest friends.
You inspire me, make me laugh, and no matter what are always here for me.
Thank you.
