We took a big leap of faith this past weekend and decided to start our own business. My brother actually had this type of
business before he became very ill. My father still drives a truck, hauling mostly cotton during that particular season, but the truck belonged to my brother. After many of hours of research (thanks to my wonderful hubby and an awesome accountant, Ben's uncle Tom) together we decided to embark on this adventure. Even though Ben's job had beyond AWESOME insurance, it was something that we would have to deal with. The kids will have insurance until they are 18 due to the adoption so I didn't fret about it to much. It's just Ben and myself that are not covered but we are still looking. Well to be honest it didn't just start last weekend. Ben started to drive with my dad about 2 months ago. We purchased out first truck in at the beginning of the year with just my dad driving then a month later Ben joined in on the fun. Shortly after we purchased my brothers truck so that Ben would have his own and my dad had his own. My brother's truck is a little
older and needs
alot of TLC but everything is local and we wanted to save up to buy a nice one. One day as I was walking down the good
ol' streets of Sundown, I saw this pretty purple and gray semi with chrome wheels. I thought it was nice and got the little ball rolling in Ben's head. Needless to say, it was love at first sight for Ben and now we are the proud owners of a 1993
Peterbilt. Ben's very own "Big Truck" :) The
good thing about where Ben is working out of is that ALL the hauls are local, he continues to haul cotton alongside my dad, he is home
every night, and he is his own boss. Well....he still has to go through me. And my Justin...let's just say it's a joy to see him smile
every time his daddy pulls in and honks that horn for him!
