in June of 2006, …my third week of on the job training as an over the road truck driver.  I was feeling pretty good about my job and how hard I had worked and how much my trainer and others complimented my progress.  Tonight was the night that I was told to pick up the trailer and get everything ready without any help from anyone.  I had my notes from the phone call with my dispatcher that read trailer # 432.  As I found trailer 432 and began to hook it up, I thought to myself… This load was going from NW Pennsylvania all the way to Greenville Tennessee, which worked out to be over 540 miles one way, and the load only weight 7,000 lbs.  With a little joy and excitement, I felt myself say out loud, boy, this is going to be a pretty good trip!</div> <div>      I had everything ready and found that I still had time for about a half hour nap before my trainer came, so I climbed up into my bunk to enjoy a little sleep.  Before I knew it My trainer came, I was back out of bed and we were on the road.  He was feeling pretty confident with me, so he said I'm going to climb in back and go to sleep and just let you take care of this one on your own….</div> <div>      I made great time on this over night drive, there was hardly anyone even on the road.  We got there first thing in the morning and I opened the doors of the trailer to back in the dock, and to my surprise there was nothing in the trailer!  It was totally empty!  How could this happen!  Thoughts started to race though my head, and all I could think was that I would be fired.  Fear struck me so hard I actually started to shake.  I began to feel this big lump in my throat and a feeling of total helplessness.  I prayed in desperation, “God help me!”  I returned to the front of the truck and opened the door and looked straight at my trainer, and said, “There's nothing in the trailer”.  He began to smile thinking I was joking, and I looked him straight in the eye and said I'm not joking!, It's empty!  I saw look of shock take over his friendly face.  He jumped out of the truck.  Looked in the back, and calmly sighed, Well I guess your gonna have to call in and tell everyone what happened.  …My shaky fingers began to dial the number, as I looked through the shipping papers I saw that they read “trailer # 430”.  I hadn't even looked at them, And I trust my notes so much I didn't look at my paperwork or check my load before I left.  I would I explain this!  I don't think I've ever made a mistake this big in my life.  I expected the worst…</div> <div>       By the time I got back and apologized to my dispatcher, I could not believe the Grace & forgiveness I was Shown.  My trainer was as calm as a cucumber about the whole thing and teased me quite a bit on the way home, My dispatcher only smiled and said “bet you'll never do that again”, and the owner of the company walked in and said “I heard you went to the school of hard knocks today.  I was in awe!  I thought to myself that's it!  Nobody's gonna yell at me, No one's mad, No reprimand, and I'm not getting fired!  I deserved all of it!  I couldn't believe it!  I've never made such a big mistake and been shown that much grace.  …I began to think, “this must be what heaven is like”.  It's like you've made all these mistake and you can't do anything to make it right, It's all your fault and there's nothing that can be said in your defense.  ...And your totally helpless, and God says, “hey it's ok, don't even worry about it, I took care of everything”.  Wow!</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
