Chris, I imagine that you feel you are the only one who has troubles. I for one have been married to a truck driver for over 20 years. Do I ever see the man, No. Anyways, cry me a river, and I cry too. My husband just recently came down with a disease which will lay him off of work from driving for near a year. Well, we will have to sale our home, possibly one vehicle. He had just changed jobs and we were seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.. BOOM! his illness hit us hard. His family came down on me hard during ths time making me the reason for his illness, nothing but trouble on the horizon~ Would I like to leave, well, Hell yea, !!!!! I am fed up with his family interferring with our lives, and fighting them every other day. But you know, I won't leave him , but due to his family harassing me daily I will probably move to another town far away from them all. I might sound something like your wife, unreasonable. But on my end, if my husband wants to follow me to a more peaceful life he is welcome to me. I just won't sit around and fight with his family about stupidity until the day I die, which one never knows when they will. I have gathered strength from within myself and have now decided to stand up for ME. I'm not going to sit around and let the world or his brothers and sisters run over the top of me making me miserable. In the end, we need to look out for ourselves. And sometimes I think to hell with the world..not wanting to separate myself tho, but just wanting to be left alone. Personally, if my world doesn't normalize and the fighting doesn't quit, I will walk too. I don't want it that way, but for God's Sake life needs to go on. We all face elements and conditions in our lives where we need to face them head on. Well... I could be considered a whiner as you are doing. I feel for you, but let her go. Persuade yourself from within that there is always another fish in the sea. Sounds very cliche' I know ~~~ She's gone and she's not comimg back. I doubt it has anything to do with anyone being a truck driver. She was probably sick and tired of you moping around and not trying to get well after your disability occurred. There is only so much another person can do to comfort another in their time of need. We are all normal in this sense. This is a stressful world that we live in. Time and money consumes us even tho we don't all admitt to it.
Sometimes love comes and goes in our lives. I imagine she tried to fight that feeling but decided to just roll with it and grab the guy while the getting was good. That's my motto, "Get her while the gettings good" I'd go find another woman and love the heck out of her, be happy! To hell with what's her face and the boat she sailed in on. |

| Chris, I just read the posting about your weight and honesty. It is a toughy being obese, and people are not very kind. But, you are on dsability and I'm a betting woman that says that they will pay for you to have bariatric surgey and whatever surgery you may need afterwards to get rid of your loose skin. I've watched these surgeries on real life stories many times. I don't think you are the only one in the world who will be facing this surgery. In fact, I see that there are Dr's who will donate their time and surgeries for free to help a person in need. I believe many of these fine Dr's are down in Calif. Use your search engine on the web to find Dr's who donate their time to medically needy , or call a university hospital such as the Mayo and ask them to direct you as needed. I don't understand why you are insistent upon slamming your ex girlfriend into the dirt because she left you. Obviously you don't intend to do much moving around or becoming physically active with her, no pun intended, just an observation. I guess I might call it quits too if I didn't see my future going anywhere beyond the house, couch and refridgerator. By no means am I skinny, but am chunky. I have a belly roll that needs to be diminished more as I age into latter years. When my husband became ill I saw fit that I immediately take on any job that I could lay my hands on, which was a janitorial position. Lots of physical activity involved, lifting, constant moving, etc. I am beat at that the end of 5 hours, but have noticed I am losing weight, which is good. At any rate it surprised me that I could perform the duties as well as I am. I huff and puff, but get her done. My point being..and it is hard if you weigh what you say you do, to get your body moving with all of that weight wobbling around. But, Man, you won't live very long carrying that package around for too many years. It's your life, if you want to live you'll do more than fast. Fasting, dieting, it won't help you. Hasn't helped anyone else, that is why they invented bariatric surgey. My husband's brother and sister in law had the surgery. She lost alot weight, of course is back to chowing down. He lost alot also, but continues to eat. But they are back to walking and trying to lose again, don't look too bad. Go have the surgey and forget about this woman. Personally, I think you want to sit on this trucking forum and talk about issues that nobody but You can resolve. I came on here to find a trucking position, but it seems noone talks about Trucking Opportunities, instead it has become a Peyton Place gossip column for the woes and whining people who cannot get their life together. Why don't you use PM to talk about your personal conflict with this woman? Go to YAHOO Messenger and start a chatroom for the life and times of a trucking woman. At any rate, you should count your lucky stars that she was able to find a position in this field and make a fresh start in life for herself. You couldn't have expected her to sit in the house and wait on you for the rest of her life, could you? Quit being a Big Baby and get your butt in gear! Go see a therapist , or take a drug to help yourself calm down. Do something for yourself tho' Stop blaming your weight issues and personal realtionship with your so called charming wife/girlfriend on the entirety of the trucking industry. Most of us are out there driving our butts off trying to make a decent living for ourselves and our family. We don't have any time to fool around, much less eat , breath or sleep. Get your facts straight ~~ It makes me mad when people like you give us hard working truck drivers a bad name by calling us tramps, and every other filthy name in the book . Your relationship has nothing to do with driving truck. She pulled the brakes on you, and now is stopped. |

btw, I am almost 70 pages into a book. Its kind of like a life story type book, but is meant to follow about how habits are hard to break, and how they can effect your life. It should have everyone crying in real pain alongside me as they will finally understand some very basic things in life.
Will the ending be Happy? Sad? Tragic? or will it leave you hanging. You will probably never know since even if I have time to finish it, I wouldn't know what to do with it. Right now writing is the only thing to bring me sanity.
Thanks again |

I you have been ghost writing then what I want to know is why did you make it sound like Roehl Transport was one of the companies to avoid flat bedding for? I really take offense when someone really makes a good company sound like one to avoid especially new comers to the trucking profession. I think you owe Roehl a big apology.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but...
I totally disagree with you soladad.
Roehl sucks, that's my opinion. I'm a newer driver only been driving 1 year and now I'm making .41 cents per mile which is roehl's top pay for van. I would have to work at roehl for 7 years to get that! I worked for them my first year and almost lost my house and cars. I worked damn hard too. Roehl claimed I'd be out for 11 days and home for 3, well in reality it was 14-18 out and 2 1/4 off, not to mention the times my hometime was interupted because they wanted me to go meet one of their drivers at a truckstop to take his load because he was "out of hours".
I don't know who these people are or what their motivation is for saying that roehl is such a great company to work for. :roll:
My dispatcher who was out of Gary, IN never answered his phone, ever. And was a complete jagoff! Thankfully he got fired. My next dispatcher damn near always answered his phone but was totally immature and threw temper tantrums. :roll: The only good, make that excellent dispatcher I had used to be a driver. I had 3 dispatchers in a little under a year.
I was talking to one of my fellow Crete drivers and he asked me what was up with roehl's recruiters. He called them to see if he could get on with roehl's 7/7 (wanted to semi-retire) and the recruiter asked him "how long you been driving and how many accidents and tickets?" the Crete driver ssaid "17 years no tickets or accidents" the roehl recruiter replied "well give me your social and I'll pull your DAC and find out for myself, I know how you guys are...". Needless to say the driver told him to go f* himself.
Let me also tell you about this guy named Troy in Marshfield,WI he would make sexist comments toward females in my orientation class and make fun of a guy who was overweight. Totally unprofessional.
Does this sound like a company you'd wanna work for? Not me.
Heck even the guy who owns www.roehldriver.com went to drive for Crete LOL :lol:
