Working on the Go

Traveling, for me anyway, is usually a vacation. A time to get away from work and relax. However, being a blogger means there is always something to write about. I find I have more things to blog bout while on vacation. In most cases, the blog entries I create while I am away are my most interesting posts.

Since I take my work with me, having a reliable and lightweight computer is important. I recently found one of those tables that is perfect for traveling along with me. I never used to actually take a computer with me because I have a 'smart phone' and can blog from my phone. I can even add images to the blog posts from my phone. While this is convenient, it really is not practical for me because I take forever to text/type using my phone.

I do have voice transcribing on my phone but I rarely use it. This is because one time I replied to a client via email and I said, "Thank you, Lisa." and my phone transcribed, "you suck" wow--what the heck?!

Blending Workforce With At-Home Work

With the current economy, many bloggers article writers and self-employed Internet entrepreneurs are migrating back into the workforce. Just as jobs are harder to find in the workforce, finding well paying jobs online has become harder as well.

If you are finding yourself thinking about going back to the workforce, find a job that allows you to work outside of the home but still gives you the freedom to make money on the Internet. In many cases, truck driving jobs not only provide you with a skill that you can take just about anywhere in the United States, it gives you the freedom to work on the Internet during downtimes when you are not driving.
Recruiting companies, such as Trucking Partners are always looking to recruit new drivers willing to work hard and driving the pen road gives you a feeling of freedom that is very similar to waking up in the morning and sitting in front of your computer while you gaze out the window.

Unfortunately, sometimes a decision has to be made about your carrier and financial stability. If a project gets onto a shelf, a truck got it there. You may see trucks all over the road but most companies struggle to maintain a staffed trucking fleet. This is why looking at options with a Trucking Recruiting company is a great opportunity for steady and reliable employment.
