Welcome

Welcome to my blog, and thanks for viewing it. My name is Paul Croft and I live in a small town in Manitoba. I am a professional truck driver, and I’ve had my professional license since 2009. This is my second career. For most of my life I was in the grocery industry and was a grocery manager for about 25 years. I made the choice to get my license as my kids got older and moved away, placing a lot of strain on both my wife and I. The grocery business in a small town is a tough business and my dream had always been to drive a semi, so I took that step. Although that step was a positive move, it also eventually resulted in my spending 7 months in jail. During that time, I developed a close relationship with God, and this blog is about that relationship and how I work through my challenges, especially being on the road. My life is far from perfect, but I can always turn to God for strength and inspiration. If I can be a small inspiration for you to change your life, then I have accomplished part of my mission here. Your comments and questions are welcome and could be published onsite.  I hope to update on a regular basis. Come back often, and God Bless.
