Have any of you come to trucking as a mid-life career change? Did you experience a sense of embarrassment at how long it took you to become proficient at your new career? After living life as a competent adult, suddenly becoming a "stumbling newbie" has been a real adjustment!
What happened that let you know, that moment, that you were going to do just fine? Did it come as a sudden realization that you'd just done something, without thinking, that had previously given you fits? What was it for you?
I know it's not possible to be "great", immediately, in a new field. It's just frustrating. Someone told me not to make it harder than it really is. I still appreciate those words.
When did you know you'd do just fine?
