    LOL... Yeah we can be long winded :)

    Bottom line... Yes we are still with Central... It's right now going OK, but we have had some rough patches to get here... And for the most part, yes I am a 'happy trucker' :D Sure there are things I wish I could change, like winning the lottery, but all in all we made the right choice at the right time... I'm a great believer in Faith, and that is what this adventure has been and at times still is. Feel free to ask questions... I'll answer them as best as I can... And welcome!!

    Thank you... Yep there is that, but there is also friendship... I don't think we could be doing this if we weren't the best of friends as well.

    My boyfriend whom I met from work,whod had thunk k&b would be a trucking company/dating service,lol.We've been together going on 9 months and the next OTR job I get will be with him.I have no doubt we would get along.Heck we have'nt even fought once and no disagreements either.He tells everybody im his wife or fiancee.I tell him he's just a friend with benefits till you put a ring on my finger,lol.

    Well you will definitely find out, that's for sure!! Living in a rolling closet will definitely bring out any annoying habits and magnify them!! And that goes both ways... LOL!! I'm so glad my husband puts up with me :D

    And I suppose it would also apply for being "alone" ..... how well one does out there on the road alone for days and weeks on end..... I guess it cuts both ways .....

    You know... I don't think I could do this alone... At least not for long. It's not as bad now, with Skype or FaceTime, cell phones and 'social media'... But it's not the same... Those that can, I admire. My husband was running solo while I went through school and training... He was miserable, and so was I...

    Do you both already have your CDLs and OTR experience?? If so Central might not be the best fit... They are a 'starter' company for the most part... Not saying they aren't a good company, but if you already have experience, there might be a better one for you out there.

    PS... Ray sounds like a keeper ;)

    I understand Lady K, about being miserable without your honey ... but since I don't have one .... and since I spend a lot of time alone now .... I figure ... sitting at home, sleeping alone ..... whether in a house or a truck ... I suppose would be the same ... I'm somewhat of a loner ... not by choice ... but it's been quite a while ... so I'm used to it .... But I'm with you .... If I had a sweetheart, I probably wouldn't even consider doing this.

    He has 28 yrs exp and i've been driving since 2003.Thanks for the company but I think we'll be looking into a company that does require exp.Not that Central is a bad company or anything just prefer a company with a low profile and small to med size carrier.Yes Ray is a keeper.I would say I hit the jackpot when I met him.Actually he's liked me long before I knew it.He always looked for me at the end of my shift helping me unhook or just come to say hi.
