I would say higher than the national average.
But the national average shot up when this economic drop kicked into high gear.
Hard numbers I can not give you.
But I can tell you this. I've seen personal ads, that prefer truck drivers.
Hard to tell whether they're gold diggers or just being practical about the mans ability to continue earning a living in this economy. -
I can't tell you the numbers. all I can tell you is that the truck destroyed my marriage several years ago & has destroyed every option of a relationship since.
ky wildcat 4ever Thanks this. -
Finances can put a strain on any relationship. I think my income (should I get this job) will outweigh our being separated for long stretches. I've been out of work for two years and my husband is working three jobs.

I have read the national average is about 50% but for drivers it's about 75%!

My uncles drove for many long years and never divorced.
I personally do not know any divorced drivers. Most I know have been married for over 30 years. -
Its hard to say but I think its somewhere between 80 to 95%

That first lady sounds very bitter. My husband is thrilled I'm going back to work. We need the money very badly.
