Why I Took Time Off

Hey everyone, I've been away since October. I left Jim palmer early October when my grandmother was sick. She passed away but I was able to see her one last time and talk to her about trucking, and at the time my daughter who joined us on this earth Tuesday, march 7th at 10:13 pm.

The reason I took time off was my wife was put on bed rest, and the pregnancy was turned into a high risk pregnancy. 3 doctor appointments a week. During the time we spend several days in the hospital while she was hooked up to an IV just to try and help keep the fluid levels high for the baby. I live here in Maine and winter was approaching, and with long discussions with my family and my wife I figured it would be best to take a step back and help her through this and not be away.

I have been in contact with a few companies and still talk to my recruiter and Jim Palmer from time to time. Prime has approved my application to join them when im ready. All I'll have to do is two months training then I'll be on the Walmart dedicated account in Lewiston Maine. I'm only 17 miles from Lewiston so my recruiter said it would work out perfectly. Me and my wife have everything set up to where I can stay Otr or do the dedicated account. So I'm thinking of all my opportunities and just spending this month or so with my daughter and the wife.

Other than that, this year has been great, still having to do some checkups with my daughter, they just checking to make sure her jaundice levels don't increase and she gains weight.

Just wanted to stop by and let everyone here know that things at home are going good and I'll be back out on the road soon. Thanks and drive safe everyone and I'll be back with more updates as time goes on.

Good to hear from you Aaron, sorry to hear all this.

Walmart sound like a good option. You'd have more control over your home time, steadier paycheck.

Hope it all works out!

Great to hear from you. I was worried about you. Sorry about your grandmother. Congratulations on becoming a dad. Glad to hear your ok. Text me when you get a chance. Good luck with getting back to trucking.

Thanks guys. Yeah the recruiter said they are super flexible. Like you to run weekends which I don't mind. It's slip seating, which is fine since I'll most likely be home daily. But other than that, i think it'll be a good gig. I worked for Walmart before overnights, plus another grocery store out here in Maine. Plus I delivered bread in Las Vegas to grocery stores. I think it'll be something I'm a little familiar with plus something that could help me be home from time to time.
