As a Sole Proprietor, I have had to limit my ambitions to assure I meet and satisfy other obligations. My role of Professional Driver is typically geared towards an individual interested in specializing in driving. So, any real ambition to stray from any corporate or company policy is not a possible option…although, I have come close. While in the position of being employed as that OTR driver, my spreadsheets, backups, and anything computer related had to be accomplished in the background. No one hires a computer enthusiast and expects him/her to drive a truck. It takes a computer geek to drive a truck, remembering why he/she is driving the truck. Let’s face it, loads have to go…people are waiting for those deliveries. So, in my defense, all work had to be accomplished first, explaining the many gaps in time for even this blog site.

It was my intention to keep rolling, and limit my responsibilities as a driver, and the best way of controlling my time was to become an owner operator. I was also planning on working with the company I have been so grateful for the years of experience and time (plus that opportunity to gain a truck by earning it). Still, it is a company geared for one thing, focusing on those loads, and the promise of delivery to their customers.Somehow, in this case, I was attempting to have my cake and eat it too. So, it appears I have come to an inevitable “crossroad”. Honestly, why ask a company who has its own reputation to uphold “tailor make” my intentions, when my passion may compliment an individual driver in an unknown future, but not now, when the loads need to be there. I will always be appreciative to have been a part of that business, and in honesty, kept my ambitions at bay, and gave them the best and honest work I could, well, without losing my direction and focus.

So, now it is time to go my own way, and finally bring to purpose a dual website, with the vision to inspire, guide or assist, and be a resource for the individual, getting the most out of computing in the workplace, stressing much for the future professional driver, but hopefully word it all correctly where it can be used in any business setting. I cannot help but remember the names and personalities of all those I have had the opportunity to work with, and not just with this last business. From my School of Smith & Solomon, still located in Dupont, Pennsylvania, to my trainer, Don, who also has a goal to own a truck way back when. There were others for whom I have had less than favored experiences with, yet, there is always a lesson learned if recalled and reflected upon. Seven years in a world that can only be experienced to appreciate the works of so many in the far past, and definitely those in the present, and the unknown and ongoing future. I have questioned and challenged many myself, making some of my own moments less favorable in others eyes as well. No matter, just let it end here where I simply say “Thank You” to so many, and all I have come across. I may not know what the future may pave for me in the future, but I will live knowing the roads I have traveled to get where I am now. And, with that said, time to truly switch gears, and let the truck wait for me…for an undetermined amount of time.

So, now its time to make this worth while. My future goals and ambitions is to get back to the spreadsheet concepts, along with documents, and records building. I plan on always stressing on ideas for backing up records and security, along with developing the individuals own schemes. There has to be time made to challenge others with simple tasks and projects for their own “Down time”, and experiment with photography, videos, and even greeting cards. At the same time, this blog site has some real potential in being a form of business itself; and it will be taken seriously. There is just so many directions to go, to cover making and using forms, distribution of information, and the various forms of communication. It is my goal to inform, inspire, explore various resources, and work on even providing my own version of software and apps in the future.

Keep in mind, I still call myself a Sole Proprietor, and much will be geared towards educating and applying the knowledge in a working atmosphere, but like that role of Over The Road truck driving, where I start can take me in any given direction, and so (in a virtual sense), another adventure begins. I hope I get further from simply presenting concepts, and look forward to replying to comments, and explore the readers struggles, goals, and aspirations. As far as Professional Driving, well, never count me out, the future is uncharted, and anything could happen. For now, yes, I will return someday, after all, I need to put to practice whatever I make, and be able to say, “Yes, it can be done, because, I can do it too.”

Let the unknown adventure begin….uh, Monday! 😉
