Have a few questions

Hi mountainlaurel, (I dated a girl named Laurel in HS, I know, big deal) Personally, I don't recommend it. Many women do enjoy driving trucks, but most, I think, had some sort of trucking in the family, so they know what's involved. You'll miss birthdays, holidays, little league games, just be ready for that. I missed a lot, and I was a local driver, but my hours prevented me from seeing a lot of that and you can't get that back. Living in a truck is an awful life. Facilities are very limited and the ones that are around are filthy. Eating healthy is almost non-existent, unless you bring your own, which can be one. Not sure about cooking, that would be a hassle, exercise, again, limited, at best, as there are so many factors that delay you, you may not have time to exercise, or are so tired, you sleep it off. Trucks do handle a lot better loaded, except on ice, but running empty is downright treacherous.
I'm not saying not to go into it, just maybe not now. When the kids are older, go for it, but I guarantee you, when you are staring at your floormat on Christmas Day, in some God forsaken truck stop, because you couldn't get unloaded until after the holiday, it tests even the most hearty drivers. Good luck.
