    Your first post sounded like a poem, I'm curious when you wrote that? Just now?
    This post was more in tune how others write, not that there's anything wrong with it. You were decent in staying home to take care of your kids; & I commend you for that. Way too many kids don't have a father. Were they all boys? Boys need a Dad, not that girls don't. As for your fear of heights, come on, if your last job was climbing ladders were obviously are not. I wish you the best in your new adventure for that's what it seems trucking is to you!

    Not my writing. Mark Wills wrote it, Ronnie Milsaps sung it. Nope, three girls, still not sure how I did it. Raised them for 9 years by myself, until I found the perfect wife for me. Yes, always terrified of heights, but it is really amazing what someone will do to provide for their family. I am not as terrified now as I was, but still do not like heights.

    yes it's amazing! I doubt I would have gone into trucking if I didn't need to help my daughter help pay those dang students loans!

    I've been driving a truck for almost a year now, doing dedicated route. I am in my home terminal almost everyday and live around 30 min from here. Still end up spending time in the truck, doing 10s and 34s. For some odd reason, I get excited when I am dealing with heavy traffic, tight backing, and long tedious drives at night. I know I'll have to give it up in the year or two, cause I do not want to be alone, cause it's easier.....So, why? I don't really know, maybe becouse it's right place to be in as of right now
