Saying Good Bye to Trucking

are12 · Nov 6, 2009

It is with a heavy heart that I am saying good bye to driving our straight truck. Jim passed away on October 27th from a massive heart attack.

I am not sure what I am going to do but I promised Jim I would never go on the road without him (he was very protective), plus it would not be the same without him by my side. Now it is time to decide what to do with the truck and where I go from here.

Life can be cruel at times.

OMG Arlene, I am SO sorry to hear this. What a shock. I hope you have family to support you through this time. Try to take some healing time before making any huge decisions. I'm sure that Jim would not hold you to any promises made if they were going to affect your ability to earn a living. My thoughts are with you.
