Thread: Back At Work

For those unaware I sold my business last Jan 5th. Although I have just turned 60, I can't yet afford to retire.

As we have been living off savings I thought it was time to look for some work.
I went and was a small local truck operator who said he would put my number in his phone.

Two days latter I get a call to see if I could I take a truck to Melbourne, which I thought was perfect, as I have not driven a truck for nearly six years.

I was supposed to go this morning but I got a call saying that this job has been cancelled, but would I like to go to Sydney, to which I accepted.

A bit latter I was asked if I would like to then do Brisbane out of Sydney which I also accepted.

Talk about being thrown in the deep end.

Leaving in a couple of hours.

A few of the many golden rules to remember....
-One overnight bag should carry enough cloths for a week, your not on holidays now.
-It does not matter how much running around you do unloading/waiting/loading the job starts as the sun sets, that's when you have to hook in.
-Be careful where you hang your towel at truck stops, get it wrong/right you'll have some company, "hey honey"
