Family friendly school?

Roehl Transport has flexible work schedules that will probably work out in that regard.

I was born and raised in a farming community in Tennessee where the major income was dark fired tobacco and dairy cattle. I wasn't a farmer, but had my fill of the farming rural life. Give me a condo/house in Las Vegas any day over that; lock me in that gated community and forget about me!

 

LOL...we moved to 12 acres about 10 or 11 years ago with our 2 kids. There is no mistake in their nicknames of CityGirl (gymnast) and FarmGirl (equestrian).

 

When I take my youngest with me I put her in the side box.

 

Well folks, it seems like the OP has decided that she and the family will be happy living the lifestyle on the open road despite most on here trying to warn you that it most likely is a very bad idea.
OP, everyday-every week we have numerous people come to this forum and ask those wonderful questions like "I am scheduled to attend CR England orientation next week, am I making a mistake?" The folks here answer with a resounding "Yes", and explain why for the thousandth time. Yep, they still go because they have dreamed up in their mind how it will be, and not follow the warnings of others that already know. Rarely do we ever hear from them again.
I am a father. Kids have graduated from college and launched (YEA!) But I still have those remembrances of the constant doctor visits, soccer practice/games, visits with grandma/grandpa, trying to throw a frisbee, urgent care, birthday parties, chasing the dog in the backyard, etc. I felt this is what rounded out the kids. My wife and I were not trying to make them 3 year old adults. Yes, life is about getting along with all ages and all walks of life. Your game plan at this time (hitting the road) will most likely diminish a child to the introduction of this fascinating world. Shippers/Receivers, truckstops, truck maintenance shops, etc. is no place for a young child.
Please reconsider. It seems with your background you probably have some better options. Life is rarely like the Cleavers (yea, I'm old too), but trying to find family stability in a rig is a long shot.
We all wish you the best and please come back here and let us know what you have decided.

 

The CHEAP part of the horse is buying it. Then there is tack and hay and feed and training and lessons and shows and......I'm exhausted.

Dad's driving career has put us in a position to afford said horse.

 

But seriously, I wouldn't want to take Lily on trips. First of all she would get bored by the time she got to fabens. Second of all I'm not paying truck stop prices for food that miss picky eater won't finish. And lastly, I would have to stop and play Barbie's with her too much to get anything done.

 

As a former insurance adjuster, I am unable to imagine ANY company allowing a rider under 10. Most that have rider policies, it is 14, and only seasonally.

Personally speaking, if my father took me on the road at the same age as he took me around town, (2), I would have considered my childhood the greatest ever!
