Robert's Story
Life
I am a truck driver.I use to be road for 3+1/2 yrs went from chicago to New Jersey & New York during that time.I got off the road and became local 2+1/2 years ago.I worked for a little company called Home Depot local work driving flat bed trailers with lumber to all stores in illinois and surrounding states.I did the flat bed thing for 1+1/2 years.I got burnt-out doing it and now am a owner operater for the rail road the last year.I have over 500,000+ miles accident free and ticket free under my belt buying my own truck was the best thing i did.I have 1 employee working for me and i am getting ready to buy 2 more semi`s and hire 4 more drivers.I am doing very well for my self I am very content in my life at this time.I was living my life up intil past 5 years not caring about tomorrow or what today brought.I have been very fortunate to make good money and have good paying jobs,better than most people i know who went to college for 4+ years.Even now i make 2-3 times more than friends who went to college and they are mad.I always tell them not my fault i worked hard to get to where i am at my pay scale sacraficed lot of holidays birthdays parties and family time to get to where i am now.And i am proud of my self i have pride in saying that all i have and am making of my life i did on my own i had no hand outs did my self.So when I have children some day they wont have to worry about nothing cause i will have a nice size corporation for them to take over from me cause after all people will always need to eat and have...Expand for more
clothing.My trade will be around for long long time.Cause without trucks to deliver good to Wal-Mart,Sams Club,K-mart,or bring food to Hilton Hotels,restaurants down town they would not be around.
If there was one thing i could change in my life it would be to pick-up phone when my brother called last.Instead i walked out door did not want to be bothered he died that night at his home and i have to live with that till i die now.i know alot of you that knew me back then thought i was just a big kid that was dumb truth is i knew what some people said behind my back and did not care and still dont just want to make a comment would like to see where those people have ended up and are at in their lives.I am still a big guy and never will be quote small but not doing bad.I am 6ft 332lbs and can bench over 420lbs not to bad concidering.
Another regret i have is not telling the one true love of my life how i felt about her.I have a good woman now and dont regret it but always wonder what might have happened had i told her how i felt about her where my life might have gone or ended up.If you read this you will know it was you i think all along she always did know just i was afraid to say.I wonder if someday i will ever meet her again to tell her.I loved from kindergarden up till i left midlo,and went to Cali..I still think about her all the time.That is onething i have learned over time dont take for granted moment now and dont live in fear,step up and rise to the situation and prevaledont live thinking back what if!!!!!
