		<description><![CDATA[I LOVE "normal" life.  We got lots of errands done, I sold some stuff on Craigslist and Randy had a little pinstriping job - we made more money today than his last paycheck.  ;)  He keeps saying how nice it is to be home, and I keep telling him how nice it is to have him here.  Home will soon be somewhere else, and we're going to start moving tomorrow. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2010/01/randys-home-time-during-training-part-1">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I keep reading that the 2 most important factors for a successful marriage, especially in OTR trucking, are trust and communication...this week, we had neither one.  I suppose the added stress of all this didn't help, and we both had a major thinking/behavior relapse.  This career truly does test a relationship, and any weakness that existed before WILL be magnified 1000 times.

		<description><![CDATA[Another day stuck at the school, another interesting story...don't know if it's true, but it's interesting.  Supposedly, a student took a bottle of liquor on the truck while with an instructor and other students.  They got 30 miles away at a truck stop, the safety manager and cops were called, and he got a D.U.I.  If it really happened, it's incredibly stupid! A lot of odd things happen at that school. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2009/12/randys-phase-1-cdl-training-part-5">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Two days ago he was all happy, now he seems really uncomfortable again...something is going on in that truck.  I suppose I won't find out until he has some "alone time" again.  <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2009/12/randys-phase-1-cdl-training-part-4">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I forgot to say all the states Randy's been in, just since the beginning of the week:  Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina and North Carolina.  Before he went to school, he'd only been in 2 of those states.  I know this is super-exciting for him so far!   <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2009/11/randys-phase-1-cdl-training-part-2">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The reason I'm sharing our personal experiences with this is to help people understand the truly tension-packed environment at truck driving school, and how it may affect your spouse.  Everyone's marriage is different, so everyone's experience will be unique, but there will be common issues for sure.  And things will pop up that you never even considered.  I'm being completely, 100% honest here, because I don't think glossing over the tough stuff would be very helpful! <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2009/11/advice-for-couples-regarding-truck-driving">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit there have been times, during the first 3 weeks of this experience, where I began to feel that the entire trucking industry might be orchestrated by a bunch of mad scientists conducting some kind of evil psychological experiment.  And we (the students, drivers and their families) are their human guinea pigs.  ;)  Seriously though, it's been a wild little ride so far, and I'm sure that will continue.

		<description><![CDATA[Truck driver training usually involves a lot of pressure. The intensity of the experience is part of what made it so special for him.  He quickly formed  a very close bond with many of his fellow students, and they are a diverse bunch of characters whom he never would have come to know so well under other circumstances. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2009/11/randys-truck-driving-school-days-16-17">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Randy sounded a bit odd when I talked to him today. For the past several days, he has mentioned feeling trapped and restless, and anxious to begin training.  I suspected it was just a reaction to all that he had been through, combined with elation from his success, which can be just as overwhelming as the constant anxiety and tension. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2009/11/husbands-truck-driving-school-days-13-14-15">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

He's been doing so well up to this point that I hardly even feel nervous about his road test tomorrow, but students have been dropping out of school like crazy, so I'm still rather concerned. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2009/11/randys-truck-driving-school-day-11">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Randy was all excited and relieved to tell me that, early in the day, he passed his backing test on the first try.  He was nervous, so he did lose 2 points (could miss 12 and pass).  He's been backing trailers (on and off over the years) since he was 16, but said that being trained in proper techniques has increased his confidence. He said the thing he misses most about home is "me making dinner".  What???  Shouldn't he have just said "me"? The thing I miss most, at least right now, is just being able to sleep. <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rbradyjohnsen/2009/10/randys-truck-driving-school-day-6">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
