Day 91 – Finally time to Blog
Posted by tharrisfc in 100 Day Countdown on June 3, 2012
Since Day 94, I have rolled out of Pennsylvania, down to Georgia, back up to Ohio, and now I rest in Michigan. Throughout these days, the usual challenges and issues make the time pass right by. For the most part, rains happened during my time of a break, and even yesterday, I was able to casually come up from under a storm, get to the west of it, and follow it eastward to my next destination.
A long way to go before a routine.
The loads have to come first and foremost, followed by the paperwork to be scanned and personally filed.There is supposed to be monthly backup of records, and a morning routine that includes checking my emails and voicemails. Somehow, I seem to always have priorities. The Blog was supposed to be a way of just getting out what was on my mind, in a business sense. I thought only a half hour a day would work. But, even the well routine of my logs and spreadsheets, it all came in good time. With the first ten days passing, I feel I am off to a decent start, and like everything else, it will always be a “work in progress”.
The videos need shortening
Already my own critic. Sometimes I review the work I do, just to find something to hone in on that I need to get resolved. But when it comes to videos, it can take up to three hours to cut, edit, and alter a raw video. The first two made me realize that any more correspondence should be done in the day time, unless I buy a lamp to light up the inside of the cab. The recording devices were cheap, and I got what I paid for. But to buy an expensive camcorder would be risky in this truck environment. I’ll have to improve in technique.
