    Since no one else to talk to and wife has enough on plate. My daughter is gonna need open heart surgery in a month then again in a year to fix problems and my wife was told 75% she cervical cancer and trying to take care of all that and our son just is too much for her and need to be home more then 3 or 4 days a month. She can't do it all alone and I don't want to be on the road away and feel like poop leaving her to deal with it alone.

    Family.

    Get off the road. In the Columbus area I'm sure you can find something local.

    Prayers sent for your family.

    TNi, if you live basically between St Louis and Laredo, can have you home as long each month as you like. I hope it all works out for you.

    I'd do whatever it takes. Deliver pizzas, bus tables, mow lawns, dig ditches. Whatever it takes. My wife and daughter are more important than any job ever will be.
