To Scrooge or Not To Scrooge
2010-12-21 09:05:00
Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol tells the story of a wealthy but miserly old man named Ebenezer Scrooge. It was written to remind us that a full life is not found in self-service, but in helping those who are less fortunate.
Like Scrooge, we mistakenly believe that we’re self-made men. We have forgotten the many people who helped us out along the way. If we can read this blog, a teacher taught us; if we are alive, our parents made it happen and if we are working or have worked, somebody somewhere gave us a chance.
Driver, if you’re thinking that life hasn’t been kind to you; perhaps it’s your perception that needs adjusting. Don’t be a scrooge! Contact us. We’d be happy to help you turn it around. Comment here.

Endless Possibility
2010-12-09 08:57:00
Recently, I heard a radio show host challenge a caller complaining about the current political situation. After the caller expressed his hopeless outlook, the host suggested he start seeing these circumstances as an opportunity to make a difference instead.
Truth is, every day we are faced with a choice: take the easy way out of difficulty or determine to make a difference to those around us. For example, we can go the extra mile and finish a job well, even if we’re tired. We can do what’s right for others even if no one is watching. Or we can focus only on ourselves and what we want to do and take the easy way out. Next time you’re caught in a situation that seems hopeless, try to see the opportunities around you. The possibilities are endless. Comment here.

Cultivate Contentment
2009-09-21 15:01:00
Gripe, gripe, and gripe. When I was in the Army, there was a saying that if the troops are not griping, they are not happy. However, discontentment can sour an otherwise good job or good assignment. Hold it, rewind. You mean that griping can make a job seem harder? Yes. The reality is that every job requires work, inconvenience, effort and usually there are some things about it that we’d prefer not to do. What a difference it would make if we could find contentment no matter what job we have. Many drivers love driving truck. There are some who do not, some for good reason. No matter which group you are in, having a positive attitude would make it easier to do your job. Want to learn more? We can help. Comment here.

Contentment Can Ease Loneliness
2009-08-25 14:26:00
When you are alone and behind the wheel of a big truck, it’s very easy to become discontent. You can be discontent with the traffic, your load destination, your pay, your spouse, family, and many other things. Our minds play tricks on us when we are tired and alone. Don’t let these times alone cause you to be unhappy with your life. Think of the good things you have. Contentment is a virtue that will pay dividends for many years to come. Many others would love to have what you have. Be content with where you are. Your life will be much happier because of it. Comment here.
