The Big Change

In less than five (5) hours Ben will be leaving his job at YRC for good. He has been with Roadway, now YRC for over 14 years and is finally cutting the apron strings and moving on. After the past three years and the stress that has been building due to poor management from the upper dudes, Ben has decided to take a position with a much smaller trucking company. I can hardly believe it! We are all very excited and a little nervous. Mostly me, because of insurance reasons but I think it will all work out in the end.

Ben must have been sending out I'm ready for a change vibe, because about a month or more ago, he had two (2) recruiters call in within 20 minutes of each other. Both wanting to have him submit a resume for review. He went through the process of interviews, phone interviews, and much more, before finally settling and deciding on one company over the other.

The new company is a family operated trucking business, and Ben hopes to help them grow their business and develop a stronger knowledge in the brokering side of trucking. Plus much more but I would hate to bore you with the details. He feels that this is going to be a great opportunity for him to let loose the reins and develop professionally as well as personally. He has equated this move to be more entrepreneurial than his previous position.

I know he is not sad to leave his post at YRC, since things have been completely different since we moved back to Texas. Especially after the move the company made to combine both entities. But that is another story best left in the past. Even though there are those who will be sad to see him go, I think it is for the best. Had it not be for YRC we would not of made our moves across the country and back. And we would not have met so many wonderful people and friends along the way.

So pray for us and send good wishes for our next exciting adventure that we are about to embark on, it can only get better from here.
