    Well this will be all new territory for me come September.. Hubby is into his 1st month driving and I plan to ride along. Not sure what to expect so have been reading up and here I am . We have been married 11 years, no kid's at home but we have 3 female Shi Tzu's
    and of course they will ride with us...This could be a very interesting life changing experience for me:biggrin_25523:
    So any help of all kind's will be appreciated, looking forward to meeting all of you and the new adventure on the road!!

    Welcome to the forum, Sweet Tatter! This is a great place to prepare yourself for joining your husband on the road. Many of the ladies here have accompanied their boyfriends/husbands on the road and I'm sure they'll be more than willing to answer any questions you may have.

    A good place to start would be in THE LADIES ROOM with the following threads:

    http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/the-ladies-room/105055-ride-w-husband.html

    http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...s-room/108287-should-i-go-otr-my-husband.html

    And please don't miss our thread on safety for women:

    http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...-ladies-room/54570-safety-tips-for-women.html

    Good luck on your new adventure, and be sure to keep us posted. We look forward to getting to know you!

    Well you could get your cdl, but as a team, you are too give him some breathing room he need's too drive and rest , by breathing room ,i mean run after the bill's-sign and that kind of stuff, always been a day i needed a extra set of eyes , while backing into a tight dock and a hand held cb and hubby cb can do just that, there was days i needed too do laundry but couldnt becuse i had too be on the dock counting box's , so there's lots little things you can help him with, and the keeping company, beside the dogs is, great , but most company charge 100 a dog for damage.:biggrin_25516:
