Mentors

How would we survive out here without Mentors? We tried being drivers once without mentors and found out how disheartening that can be. The second time around we did our homework and we formed a network of support from fellow drivers and from the company we are leased to. As time has progressed our mentors have changed and to some we have become mentors. We are very careful of who we listen to and who we let influence our lives. It only takes one rotten apple to start eroding your confidence and your attitude. We have found that in this downturn of the economy we have needed influence from others outside of expediting to keep us from getting a prima donna attitude on what we consider expectable load pay. Our mentors keep me going back to my books and looking at my figures and seeing how we can trim our expenses and keep making a profit. Without our mentors giving us attitude adjustments we just might not have such a great outlook on life.

To those that have helped keep us grounded I only have the highest panegyric praise, without them in our corner who knows where we would be. So to Vince, Henry, and Terry you guys are the best at dealing with the two of us out here running around in ½ a truck.
