Explain Trucking To Your Spouse

I hijacked my husbands account to add my 2 cents..... I am a truckers wife.... I'll admit him being otr was difficult at first.... Then I went to Las Vegas for our daughters 21st birthday... Was sitting by the pool talking to 3 sisters from Ireland... Told them my truth.... He's gone for 6 weeks... He comes home we **** like monkeys....... We're in the phone constantly.... When we see each other its soooo damn good. Like being young and newly in love again... One of the sister's sat up pulled off her sunglasses and stated "You lucky b***h" I realized right then.... Yeah I was lucky... I had a wonderful husband that is away from home because he loves his family. It's what you make of it.... If wives think they have it hard... Sit back and think of hubby alone, tired, eating crap food, using public showers, and being away from home.... Thank your man...

Thank you Mrs. Jim A.! None of us could’ve brought this point home better than you. I’m divorced so I struggled with how to frame my response. Only thing that I can add is this. As a rookie driver, as I understand it, we will using our first 1-2 years entirely as a training period. An intense one to boot. After that period, we can have our pick of where we want to go to make decent money & maybe get home every night, every other night, the sky’s the limit. We can do dedicated accounts, regional accounts, on & on. So the family sacrifices 1-2 years but the reward for that is a secure job that can get you home nightly.

God bless you & your family. May Jim A. return home safely as often as possible. A strong bond as you two share will stand the test of time.
