    I wanted to stop in and finally say hello since I've been lurking for about 4 months. I'm glad that I finally found a place that has an active women's forum and I've been able to learn about the company my husband drives for.

    A little about me: my husband and I have been married almost two years. We have an 8 year old cat that keeps me in line while he's gone. :biggrin_2559:

    It's nice to "meet" everyone and I look forward to finding a place here on the forum. :)

    He started this career path in August 2012 with CDL A in hand. He drives for a large company but prefers I don't say which one. (Men! They can be so secretive! LOL)

    Our anniversary is in April. We will have been together 7 years come July. After 4.5 years I figured I had better keep him! LOL

    Thanks for the warm welcome! :)

    Mine trained OTR, decided to run regional once he went solo and now we're trying to figure things out. I can handle him being gone 3 weeks, but longer than that is too much for me. :smt090 By the 4th week I had better have an idea of when he's coming home. (give or take 14 +/- days of when the request was put in.) Yeah, I'm new at this. LOL

    Thanks for the luck and warm welcome! :)

    My hubby did otr for a short time in the very beginning but since we've been together he's been home every night. I love that!! But at the same time I love him and respect his career choice, as he does mine in corrections.... He thinks I'm crazy but he still respects it, lol.

    I can't imagine him being gone for months at a time and from what I've read most trucking companies get their drivers home at least a couple days every 2-3 weeks. That alone will be very hard so I can't even imagine how hard it must be to have your hubby gone for longer.

    Wishing you both the best :biggrin_25526:
