    well, I just got home from the longest time I have ever been out. I left home on the 25th of November and just got home yesterday on the 18th of January. Man that's a long time. I travelled a lot of country,saw a lot of sights and hauled a lot of freight in that time.
    Whats the longest time any of you have been out there without coming home?

    Not to be a smart arse, but how did you get home on the 18th of January? It hasn't happened yet. It's only the 15th.:biggrin_25525:

    Ooooooooooh, Is he from the future?



    But seriously, I have gone out for as much as 6 months at a time. My wife and I are both on the truck and our kids are in their thirties and can usually get along without us.

    We have friends all over the country and are pretty much at home wherever we are.

    He's Canadian. I don't think they are on the Julian calender system like we are.

    Longest time hubby was out was 8 months. That was last year(2008-2009).He dropped me at home in July 2008 so his brother could team with him for a spell, and didn't make back up to NoCal to get me until Feb. 2009.

    That just goes to show you how bad I needed to get out of that truck. I don't even know what day it is anymore. LOL. Actually the little 15 on my watch is so small that I looked like an 18. Is that a good enough excuse for being a goof? Man I better get my head back together before Tuesday when I take off again.
