This fat girl is fixing to drive!
The past few months, have spent on the road with the hubby and well we've decided to attempt running as a team. We haven't killed each other and have only had one small disagreement in the 2.5-3 mos I've been playing seat warmer so we're going to see how it goes. Haven't left each other's side for more than an hour since going out with him and a month away from him is going to suck seeing as how I'm being forced to attend a school. Am a little apprehensive about school but am praying it works. The extra income will be nice and I won't feel as useless/worthless. It did take a bit to adjust to being in the truck with him and seeing as how I haven't been in a big truck since Friday, am more than ready to get back in one. It feels weird to sleep in a room and even more weird to sleep in a regular bed!
Be afraid, be VERY afraid

Good luck! I think you made the right move. You guys will make great money! As far as the life style, you will get used to it. Like you said it already feels weird to sleep in a regular bed! School should go by quick and its fun too! You will be running in not time. Have a blast and keep us updated!
Dieselgoddess Thanks this. -
Only one small disagreement in the 2.5-3 mos of riding together? I thought that was only possible if you were his girlfriend, not his wife lol! Just kidding of course, best of luck and see you out there somewhere when I start driving soon too!
Dieselgoddess Thanks this. -

The only saving grace is that they've put us in a room together for the week while he's doing orientation. I like driving and dislike riding. However, both really really bore me. Clocked like 2100 miles in my car in 2 days to get here and I drove it all. My biggest issue will be to not do my bad habits like getting out of the truck face first (I'm short and for some reason find it easier to get out the wrong way...or it could be because I'm just a lil backwards). Hubby and I get along EXTREMELY well. The first 2 weeks I was riding seat warmer, I was like "I WANT OUT OF THIS TRUCK" and then we did sit for a couple of days in IL and was more than ready to get back in it. In all honesty on the team thing, I always wanted to run solo just because I thought there was no way 2 people could live in a truck. Now that I've been within a couple of feet of him for an extended length of time its like there's absolutely no way I could go solo because of how attached we are to each other. Just trying to keep my mind off of being without him for a few weeks.
