From Houston Area To PRIME Inn In Springfield MO
Topic 29171 | Page 1
Welcome Jenny, too answer your question you can run US 59 up to Texarkana then I30 to Little Rock, I 430 to I40 to US 65 straight up into Springfield. It is all good road. You miss Dallas which I think is a big plus.
Second you make mention he has been the children’s primary care giver. Being gone alot is no doubt going to be very hard on all of you. The training period is just the beginning of the seperation time. This career is very hard on a family unit, espically if the children are young. Espically over Christmas.
It will be a huge adjustement period. Technogly makes it better with face time calling and such, but it is not like being there.
I wish ya’ll the best.
Hello! I have been driving with Prime for 5 years and am also a trainer. It is a great choice and I am treated very well.
I wrote an article that may help both the driver and a spouse deal with and understand the emotional roller coaster on both sides.
We are here if you have questions or issues and it is best to have your husband join the forum. I also have a Youtube channel as Truck in along with kearsey which has many Prime specific details. If you watch the "Prime promotes Women" series I discuss in depth the classes and resources prime has to create better drivers.
There is an organization that Prime assists called "Good Dads" that gives support to families separated by being over the road.
Good luck!

Greetings,
My husband is supposed to report to springfield MO on 12/7/2020 before 5pm. He can drive a rental car or I could drop him off and drive back home. We live NE side of houston close to US 59/69.
If I were to drive him to MO with my car, what route would be the best option for us?
My husband was the main caretaker for kids and they are having a hard time to accept that fact they can't see their daddy for a while now. That's the only reason I am even thinking about drop him off and drive back home, so kids can see their daddy a little longer that day.
Thank you
