I know it’s been a long while, I have some good news and some bad news. I got to keep my house but it came at a price. The money just kept going red and I sold the company. The guys are happy because they are getting paid regularly like they should right before the buy out, I really couldn’t pay them what they deserved. Now that I sold the company, I will be driving more and James got to keep his job although I am sure he would rather do something else. He wants to practise law but there are no takers yet.
After a month of not doing anything, I am looking forward to being free on the road again. I really miss it and I miss driving my rig. Once I had the check and paid the guys what they earned plus some extra, I fueled up the rig and Jenny and I went for a drive just because. I have never worked for anyone else before but I need to I can’t just an owner operator alone because I just don’t have the money. It seems like a recurring theme of a nightmare, broke and lonely sounds like a reciepe for disaster doesn’t it?
Looking on the bright side, I am still young and my dad started the company after he worked for someone else for years. It feels like my dad is slipping away, sometimes I have to look at pictures just to remember what he looked like.
Off to New Jersey this weekend and then New York and back home. I can’t wait to leave. I have it worked out where I will be taking a break for 8 hours in Atlantic City, I need some fun for once.
