Profile For Melody J.

9ne thing besides accidents that scares me with having a kid that young on a trucks.....kids are often sick as they are growing up as they build up an immune system. Not going to be able to run to the doctor everytime the kid catches a cold. Not happening.

A lot of childhood illnesses are from exposure

1) in schools
2) to multiple children
3) on the playground
4) in the cafeteria while eating
5) several classes
6) all day

Since the child will be on the truck with you driving the majority of the time, and no where near the immense number of kids everyday all day with exposure to at least 10 diseases every day chances are she will be less sick.

My daughter had frequent headaches and colds at home. Once or twice a year she would get a fever. She came with me on the truck for several months she had one cold when the weather changed and headache one day which I discovered was just dehydration. She is healthier now than ever. If there is an emergency call 911 and rent a hotel until the kid gets better or live out the truck. same thing you'd do if a spouse or yourself got too I'll to stay on the truck.

Does anyone know what companies allow children as riders? Does anyone know the youngest age allowed for riders at Fedex? I have a 12 year old who abesolutely loves riding with me but her brother wants to come and I think he is too young. I'd wait awhile to take him but I'd like to give him a reasonable age so he is looking forward to something hopefully. They are bit by the trucking bug and have diesel in their veins.
