how to recover from unemployment - taking a break from trucking after company folds

taking a break from trucking to work on http://www.lifeasatrucker.com and take classes that I have been wanting to take. When disaster strikes, you take as little time needed to adjust and jump back in the game based on your new reality.

You really can't afford waste time feeling sorry or depressed about the changes you couldn't control.

However, realizing that things happen in life that you CAN"T control is why you don't wait until disaster strikes before you are working on your back up plan.
If you have done this, when disaster strikes you are prepared to what extent you can be.

You are also more able to determine what your next course of action will be. For every person that next course of action is tailored to what your plans are for the future.

so I will take a break from trucking for the moment and work more on learning what I need to in order to explore my other passions, which is about helping people. Yes this includes YOU! :-)

More to come later

i respect everything you say but what do a person do to get a class A job after they finished school and cant get a job because of lack of employment and a misdemeanor drug charge on their record,its hard out here specially after tryna make a change in life from the negative???

[lifeasatrucker]

@locsta06 It's hard man but you got to stay in the game. It's the only way. But remember the most effective way for someone in your situation (or worse situation) is to tell everyone that you know, you are looking for a trucking job. Make sure someone you know or someone they know isn't a person that could put you on. Networking. Post it on your facebook page to all of your high school classmates that you are looking for a trucking job see what happens.

@RontreyT I appreciate you guys watching and letting me know they are helpful. Thanks man. Best of luck. Of course if you are writing in a journal and keeping notes for certain thoughts to stay fresh in your mind, you do not need my luck. You have a good system for success. :-) You are making it hard for yourself to swerve off track.
