What no one is saying

I made the decision to let him go to save myself and our son.
This is exactly what no one is saying.[/QUOTE]

don't let him go stay strong with him things will get better (hometime etc..) all drivers did to know that there's someone home that has their back. that makes driving seem worth while

 

Is your husband truckload or freight?

 

In my 35 years of trucking CFI/Conway Truckload was the worst of them all.They foster a snitch,backstabbing,brown nosing attitude within their driving force and they could care less about your family and if you see them unless you are one of "their" guys.

 

There is a bigger story here.

 

If your husband is intentionally staying away then that is one thing, but this job(trucking) really wears on you. He needs all the support he can get. There are more local jobs or if he works for conway freight there are easier jobs that don't demand so much of your time and energy. Maybe there is reason or necessity to stay working where he is at, but a miserable situation is never permanent unless you just want it to be that way. Theres always a way to have a balance of work and homelife while still working to pay bills. I would rather live like I'm on welfare than be gone for weeks at a time.

 

At conway if you are not one of the office good buddies you will never come close to home.I lived in Joplin,MO.their headquarters and couldn't get home and they will let you sit for a week at a time.

 

Dear Car
I am a woman who performed the CA, OR, WA, produce run. I, at the time, along with my husband, had a boy and a girl. There came a point, where I had to get "off the road" and show our children stability. I did. Sacrifice,yes!! Do I regret any decision I have had to make. NO! Do my children, actually in their late 20's, appreciate us??!! YES!!!
