Life Rewards Faithfulness
2009-07-31 09:57:00
As I observe many drivers and companies, a single word seems somewhat obsolete to me. That word is faithful. According to the Webster’s dictionary, faithful means steadfast, to show allegiance to, or loyal. It appears to me that many drivers and companies feel that they have only themselves to take care of. Let me encourage you to remain constant with your employer or your employee. Things will only become better as time goes on. Every time we switch companies or drivers, we have to start at the bottom again. Let’s work toward the best that is offered; life will make a way for you to get rewarded for your faithfulness.

Real Love
2009-07-30 16:15:00
When we use the word “love” do we really mean it? Real love is unmerited or undeserved, great, transforming and unchangeable. Despite our tendency to fail or make mistakes, we all would still like to receive love. So in saying that, keep it in mind when the ones you love make mistakes. Our love for those closest to us should not be dependent upon how they act or what they do. Our love for others should be unmerited and real. Comment here.

Got Peace?
2009-07-29 11:37:00
I would like to talk about peace. There are two distinct ways that peace applies to our everyday lives. The first is peace of mind or inner peace. People search for ways to get it; our advertising industry spends millions of dollars to “sell” it. The second type of peace is one we display to others. This is what people see on us, in our homes, at our jobs, and in our relationships. The second kind of peace is influenced by the first. So if someone questions your outward display of peace, then work on your inner peace. We can help you find peace of mind today. Comment here.

Share Goodness
2009-07-28 12:25:00
When I was growing up, a real treat was having my very own candy bar (I didn’t get out much). One of my favorites was Mr. Goodbar. The name fit exactly. It was good. Another treat happened once a year, when my grandparents would take me to a Detroit Tigers baseball game. I would look forward to going to the ball park all year. This too was good for me. When I see so many things today that are not good out on the highways, I like to reflect back on these good memories. It’s a shame when we allow the bad things to trump the good things in life. I believe that when we show goodness to others, we’ll be the ones that come out on top. Share goodness with someone today. Comment here.

Life Driver Trainers
2009-07-27 18:44:00
In the last few years, several independent driving schools have emerged all across the country. Many companies have been doing this for a long time. The purpose is to teach non-experienced drivers how to maneuver the big rigs. After they finish school, they go to work for a company and then they have to ride with a trainer for a while. Many of you either are or have been driver trainers. Life is the same way. We all have experiences to share and things to learn from one another. We can be like life driver trainers to one another out on the road. Instruct one another. Comment here.

Work for It
2009-07-24 09:43:00
Patience is a virtue. Have you ever heard this statement? I think that patience is more of a by-product than anything else. In order to have patience, one would have to endure a situation that required patience, which in turn would make you work for it. Very few things in life are free. We have to work for what we get. So if you would like to have more patience (and I know there are some on the highways that need a little more), work on it. If you don’t know how to do that, please feel free to contact us today. We are here to help you. Comment here.

Happiness or Joy?
2009-07-23 10:03:00
Most drivers equate happiness and joy as the same thing. However, this could not be farther from the truth. Happiness is driven by circumstances. This is the answer you give when people ask you “how’s it going?” If our day is going good, our answer will be “good.” The opposite is also true, if our day is going terrible, our answer would be “terrible.” Joy on the other hand is not driven by our circumstance. Our day could be going terrible but if we have joy on the inside our answer could still be “great.” Without real joy, even when our day is going well our answer could be “terrible.” So, how’s your day going? If you need joy, we can help you find it. Comment here.

Be Slow To Judge
2009-07-22 13:31:00
Sometimes as drivers, we think we have seen it all. There are some pretty strange and peculiar people that out here on the road. Have you ever stopped to think about what those people are going through? We don’t always know what the situation is. Let me encourage you to stop passing judgment without knowing what someone is going through. Maybe we could help, and maybe they are really struggling. Don’t judge, offer a helping hand today. Comment here.

Pay It Back
2009-07-21 11:42:00
One of our local radio stations had a “Pay It Back Day” a couple of months ago to instill some kindness during these difficult economic times. I’ll explain. Throughout the day, when you used any drive-thru in town from food to drycleaners, you were encouraged to pay a little extra for the person behind you. This drew an enormous amount of publicity and praise. People were so moved by this kind gesture that they did it for the next person, and this went on and on. This type of kindness is pretty foreign to many people today. Let’s not let that become the norm. Show some kindness today. Comment here.

Practice Self-Control
2009-07-20 09:30:00
Sometimes I have a problem with self control. This means that I have trouble with showing restraint over my impulses, emotions and desires. I can only assume that I am not the only one. Our needs are very important to us and we often think that our needs should be met at all times. Unfortunately this is not always the case. I have some bad news for you; life is not always about us. We should think of others before ourselves and show some restraint at times. Our desires could lead to more trouble than we could possibly handle. Show some restraint today and practice some self control. Comment here.

Slow Down For Others
2009-07-10 08:36:00
We all know that a yellow traffic light means to yield or slow down, right? But what do most of us do when we see a one? Most of us speed up (maybe that's just me). Another meaning for yield is to submit. In other words, we proceed with caution instead of speeding up and running through life with no thought. Instead of only thinking of ourselves first, we need to slow down and learn to think of others throughout our day. Submit to one another today. Comment here.

Make Friends Through Hospitality
2009-07-09 11:46:00
I once saw a Hospitality Inn while traveling. There was a 24-hour front desk, free newspapers, non-smoking rooms, facilities for disabled guests, a fitness center, a game room, a Jacuzzi, an indoor swimming pool and much, much more designed to make your life better. They offered so many things to make your stay the best it could be. It certainly was the definition of hospitality which is to treat others in a warm, friendly or generous way. What if each and every one of us offered hospitality to one another? Wouldn’t everyone's life be better? Whether it's a cup of coffee or the coveted parking spot, offer some hospitality today. You'll gain more friends and your life will be richer because of it. Comment here.

Handle Hurt Honestly
2009-07-08 11:19:00
The word admonish means to express warning or to give friendly advice. All too often, I hear people complaining about what others have done to them. Of course, they have the answer as to what should be done about it. Why do I tell you this? Because when someone does something that hurts you, instead of complaining about it, admonish the person that hurt you. Remember to do it in a friendly manner and as lovingly as possible as opposed to yelling or doing it with force. By sharing with the person that has hurt you, you will give them the opportunity to change and keep yourself free from gossip. Let us know if we can help. Comment here.

Spur Others Onward
2009-07-06 11:35:00
When you hear the word spur, what do you think of? My first thought is of what a cowboy attaches to the heel of his boots. They're used to get a horse to go forward or run faster. I never could figure out how that really worked. I mean, if you poke me with a little short piece of steel, I might retaliate. Spur can also mean to encourage someone along when things aren't going real well. Life on the road is tough. If you can help someone that's down, it will make our highways that much better. Spur one another on today and if you need someone to spur you on, please don't hesitate to give us a call. Comment here.

Don't Stab People in the Back
2009-07-03 13:00:00
How often do you use the word slander? I’m guessing not very often. Even though we don’t use it often, we still have a tendency to do it to others. Slander happens when we say false or malicious things about someone in order to hurt their reputation, often behind their backs. It shouldn't have any room in our companies and certainly no room in our lives. It will only make matters worse and lead to more trouble. As my dad used to say, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Comment here.

How Do You Say Hello?
2009-07-02 07:17:00
I find it interesting the different ways people greet each other. Some kiss each other's cheeks, others shake hands, and some nod their heads. In my spare time, I ride a motorcycle. Whenever I pass another bike on the road, we wave to each other. Even though we don't know each other, we wave because we’re both riders. Depending on where you live, what you drive, or what you do, there are certain ways to greet those you meet. Whatever way you decide to do it is fine, just do it more often. And don’t stop with just those you have something in common with. Greeting one another will help us feel less alienated. Comment here.

Forgiveness
2009-07-01 08:02:00
How hard would it be if everyone forgave everybody each and every time, for each and every thing that's been done to us? That sounds like an enormous task especially when you think about the number of people and the number of wrongs that are committed daily. But if we each did our own part, in our own little world, then it would appear to me that the task would not be so huge. Even though it would take all of us to really get this done, it can start with just you today. Forgive the driver that cut you off or gave you the one-fingered salute. I’m pretty sure someone else has forgiven you. Comment here.
