Today was a good/sad day

15 on 40...you know her? lol thought about shot glasses but thought twice about it.

 

If they still sell it on there web site, Rand McNally, try and get the 2010 Extra large print version. Its not laminated but a synthetic material that is almost indestructable and it is well worth it. I bought mine for $25 from there site back in Sept.
Good Luck.

 

I think most of us went thru the same thing...My wife just stopped crying when I leave home to go back on the road...Not sure if that's good or not!

 

It's not too bad.

Now, if she crys when you tell her that you are on your way home........

 

My wife doesn't mind much, but the girls have gotten use to me leaving. I think being home once or twice a week doesn't hurt either, but seeing them in the front window waving goodbye in the morning is harder on me than them. Being in the truck 24/7 gets you thinking of a lot. There at home playing Wii, going to the beach or going to school keeps there mind off of me most of the day.
Today it's the spray park and lunch with the girls and me, then the beach later after the crowds go home.

 

I remember growing up and only seeing my father 1 weekend a month.. Seemed like my father was never home in those days but I got by and when he did come home, we spent time together. I knew from those days that a trucker, I wasnt going to be.. My wife and I raised 5 kids and they are all (legally) grown now.

I pray you are able to get a local job in the near future or at least one that will get you home, just about every weekend.

Good luck to you and God bless

 

What's concerning is once I"m home, I can't wait to get back on the road...It's not that I'm unhappy when home but, well, I'm sure you know or at least understand....

 

You know you've been trucking too long when the wife says (after the first day home) "isn't your dispatcher looking for you?"
