I called Amazon the other day to verify an order and was put on hold while being transferred to another department. Unlike other companies, she periodically came back to tell me that I would be transferred shortly.

Although I wasn’t in a particular hurry, like anyone else I don’t particuarly enjoy being put on hold. She was very nice and I was quickly transferred, rather than feeling like I had been left alone and waiting for a long period of time.

The only thing I would have liked better is to hear holiday specials through an on hold marketing message. I love finding new deals on Amazon, and I’m grateful their customer service is so great!

If you want a change from the office, you should consider getting out on the open road. A career change to truck driving may be the perfect fix from an confined office environment.

Unlike false stereotypes from the past, the truck driving industry is accepting people from all over, regardless of gender, age, educational background, or physical stature. With advanced technology implemented in trucks these days, many more women and older people have become truckers.

Truckers make a hefty salary hauling long distances, particularly if they own their own truck. In fact, many truckers say they make more on the road than they could make working near home. With a shortage of drivers, many companies offer increased pay and benefits to new truckers.

Many trucking companies also offer health plans to keep truckers healthier on the road than their former days. With increased technology to increase idling and increase gas efficiency, truckers can eat, work exercise, and sleep comfortably in their trucks.
