Three weeks straight without being home or stopping. Running until Tuesday or Wednesday and start my new job on Monday the 23rd. It’s bittersweet in a way honestly; leaving behind the known for the unknown.
Then I encounter a scenario like this and instantly remember why I’m done with OTR life. Tight spaces, parking infrastructures are lacking late at night, and HOS makes it hard. I’m running recap hours now meaning I don’t have a full 14 hour day at my disposal anymore. Stressful and frustrating for sure.
However the money has been awesome the last few weeks and allows my relocation to be just a slight bit less stressful. I have a few awesome leads on new places I’ll check out this upcoming week and crunch to get stuff done.
Anyone else ever get anxious about career moves? I mean, I truly have nothing bad to say about my current company. They’ve treated me well and the money is good enough. I’m just tired. Tired of being over the road, dealing with customers, finding parking at 0400 and all of the headaches that come with it.
Here’s to embracing change and securing housing this week!

Big moves always create anxiety. I’ve had a number of big ones over the years and many of those decisions were made in a short time with almost no lag before the move. When I decided to switch colleges, I made the decision over a weekend. I applied to the new school and two weeks later, just after my second year of college ended, I received the admission letter, packed up my junk and moved to another state.
When I finally found a grad school I like, it was much the same situation. The whole process took about a month - apply to school, take the GRE, get the results, interview, accept their offer, quit my full-time job, start school. I applied in July and started in August.
My first job after grad school took a little longer, but it was harder on my wife. I took the job, then moved my family to another state to a town and a house my wife had never seen. She cried. It was the last time I found a rental without her input.
The next big move took us to yet another state. This time I made sure my wife picked the house we bought. Smart move.
I guess what I’m saying is that just about every big move in my life was made in a very short period of time and it always induced some anxiety. I don’t think I’d trust someone who didn’t experience some trepidation about such a big move. It would make me question their decision-making skills.

Going into the unknown is always a bit stressful or a cause of anxiety. It’s like that first day at school again, will I be liked, will I make friends, will the teacher shout at me and make my classmates laugh at me.
Just try not to think too much about it, know what’s expected of you but anticipate that you’ll get asked to do other stuff.
Try to wear something light and airy, this will help with any sweating caused by stress.
