I need some personal help.

Get back on the road driving and stay out and make some money so that you can enjoy a few days off at a time and not have to worry about money... I'm sure its hard but if you want your child to have a decent life then its what you need to do. At least with technology these days you can Skype or facetime with them whenever your doing your 10.

 

Yo...I real man sticks around to raise his kids and support his wife....anyone can make a baby...it takes a man to raise them..sometimes being awaY hurts but u gotta do what u gotta do to put food in that kids mouth...THAT my friend is a man... I applaud you for being a stand up guy...sounds like you gonna be a good dady!!! Do what u gotta do and keep your ear to the ground for a good job near you...something will come along...remember god helps them who help themselves.... and no offense but it sounds like your dad needs a kick in his ###.....sorry....I wish u the utmost luck there baby daddy!!!! Rock on!!!

 

And I agree with ruger...make the money...and think how great its gonna be when you send in the homecall stud!!

 

Its not easy but as an O/O I ran the southwest so I would be home at nite with my girls who were 4 and 5. As they got older I would take them with me on the long hauls or they would stay with my mom and dad if I ran overnite. I would not want to try it now if I was younger unless it was with my own truck because these companies are down right full of crap and are just looking for seater heaters for their trucks. But as stated technology today with Skype and all of that makes it easier to communicate with family and loved ones.

 

I can relate to a degree what you're dealing with but I'm not sure what to tell you. Poplar Bluff is going to be a big drag on your options but I understand you can't just pick up and move. Good luck. Listen to your heart, but pay attention to what your better sense is telling you.

 

I came off the road once for a girl and I will never do that again!!! I would of had almost 2 years at central ref. now but instead ive been back on the road for a year and a half with another but needless to say it cost me 6 months of exp. and driving and I got nothing out of it

 

If you are about to be kicked out of a home again maybe you should try a company that will let you bring your wife and baby with you, Crete comes to mind. They are not as good as they used to be but they do have a spouse rider policy that allows you to bring infants with you as long as your spouse comes with you. yes it is not ideal to raise a child on the road but many have done it and it would allow you to hold down a job for a year or two then look for a good home nightly local job once your employment history looks better.

 

young fellow, I have raised 5. they are much better off with a father working on the road, than not having a roof over their head , and food to eat. right now, you are actually more concerned with yourself and not your family actually. with todays internet age you don't have to be out of touch, with webcams, Skype, internet cards, snap chat, e mail , etc you aint out of touch like in the old days. there was a time when I could afford to call home once a week., now with unlimited cell phones plans we talk all the time, my son has even texted a picture while he was making a parachute jump in the army, he always texts me before making a jump and after to let me know he is on the ground. .

so buck up you and start thinking about your family and not yourself, you aint lazy or worthless or any of that youre just young and dumb, lol.
