Keeping In Touch

How does one go about staying in contact with friends? This is not much of a concern for me yet - but I have a friend who just got her CDL & is about to begin the six-week training program. The company made a big deal about minimal phone use while doing this training. That's understandable of course; she is there to learn after all.

How is it after the training though, when you get your own truck & are doing routes? Is it easier to stay in touch? The reason I ask because myself and said individual are very close; in fact, I love her as though she were my own sister. This may seem silly, but the idea of loosing total contact is a fearful kind of pain. Fear of loss is normal when you're used to talking with someone every day for a year. Emotions are both a benefit & a curse.

I'm just hoping that things go to somewhat being normal after these six weeks.

I'm sorry for sounding silly...
