Does trucking really ruin your life at home?

You should write songs!

 

the lullaby of experience

 

If you are looking at trucking as a job, yes, your home life as it is/was is over until you quit or get a local job. If you are looking at trucking being your career, your LIFE has just begun and your home life will have to change along with it (when at home, I don't talk about trucking). Becoming a trucker changed my life for the better because I made it my career and I put thought, time and money in it. Decide what you want from trucking and move on with YOUR life. Good luck.

 

Yes, especially for people who have children. Father's start out with their children asking their mothers, when will daddy be home, to when is he comming home. Dad's go from daddy to HE.

 

I didn't think you were supposed to date them. I guess I still have a great deal to learn.

i'm regional, and truth be told when I get home I can't find time to do anything that I need to do. My family always has something lined up that they need me to do, I'm grateful to be included don't get me wrong, but it's a two-way street.

you're not going to be able to pick up your life right where it ended when you left on the road, as someone else said life goes on without you. Someone who is over the road can confirm this, but if you can meet each other in the middle then that feeling may not be as strong. I know that over the road is something I do not ever want to do, unless it's a last resort. I value my family, I value my off and Hometime, and there's not enough time left in anyone's life to be gone away from family and friends for that long.

Just my two cents.

 

may not ruin home life, but sure changes it.

 

"Date" is lot lizard lingo for you know, horizontal hoochy coochy...
