Returning to the Road after 1st Home Stay
After completing my first home time since starting Schneider National and driving for them, I am finally returning to the road. To answer the unasked question, 'Yes' I am happy to be returning to the road. I enjoy traveling and my job provides me with the opportunity to fulfill this desire while also helping me to support my family financially.
I do miss my family when I am on the road, and I would enjoy being home every night to every other night, but I must put in my time first, before I get a lot more opportunities than that which I have now. It has been almost six months since I changed vocations and started driving a truck, but I have to wait two years before a lot more opportunities open up for me, like becoming an owner operator. With my business administration background, I believe I can manage my own business and after two years of experience I should be able to master the shipping part of the business and trip planning. I still want to learn to be a truck broker, and maybe an operations manager (if this later will help me to eventually managing an agribusiness venture).
I have the truck straightened up and ready to go, so that part will be nice. When I become an owner operator I will be able to bring my boys and my dogs along with me on trips, but until then I will just have to settle for the small stuff. I still have to wait for the adoption process to be completed before Juan will be able to ride with me while on the road. I think he will have fun when we get to do this and I can't wait for this to happen. Of course, I better make sure he brings his video games and extra movies to keep him busy as there will be boring parts for him.
I have new stuff in the cab from everyone in the family, and I will post pictures of these at a later time.
Until I have another chance, hope everyone is doing well.
Keep on Truckin'

Food for thought. I want to start my own farm, but I would like to do work on vertical farming where you can increase your productivity without having to take away land from natures creatures that are also living there. Additionally, we need to seriously look at building vertical living structures that are more beneficial to society as a whole. These structures wouldn't just be living spaces, but entire socioeconomic and environmental ecosystems, with a lot of interconnected services and spaces.
