I've got lots of questions, so look for me to be blowing up the boards soon! My honey is OTR, gone 2 weeks at a time, but we met at my current job when he worked in yard, day cab, and some OTR (he has since changed jobs). So his career is not a shock to me. I have friends in the industry and have ridden along on occasion so I have a good idea of what the day is like ( I won't say average day because in trucking there is no average day!) my fiancé wants me to go on the road with him so that means I need to get my cdl. That's where all the questions will come from and that's why I joined this site! Lots of plain speaking people on here who do the work every day and I know someone will have the answers I seek.
I just want to say that as he keeps it together on the road, I keep it together at home. I handle all his bills for him, car repairs, household stuff, whatever. Our kids are grown. He's 53, I'm 42. If hes within an hour of the house, and I can get there, then I'm in the car and we're meeting for a meal and a quick pickup of laundry and a loaf of my homemade raisin bread. We both gripe about our jobs but it's easier knowing that he wants to come home to me and I can't wait for his weekend to be home. I don't whine or complain when his weekend gets canceled because of stupid dispatchers or breakdowns. He doesnt need to hear that because he's just as upset.
We've got a good thing going on and I know that when we do get out on the road together it will be even better!
Hi y'all, soon to be truckers wife here....
