Thank you Ridge that is mighty nice of you. However I really don't consider myself lonely, desperate maybe, lonely no.
I really just want to help calm fears of new driver's wives, or just answering their questions.
I'll start.
Every day will be a unique challenge for you if you aren't used to doing it all yourself. I guess I really didn't notice how much help my husband was till he was in a different time zone and of no help to me. When you do notice the things that you took for granted you should write them down and thank them. I wrote letters and sent pictures to him. I think guys like to feel both useful and appreciated.
Usually it's just like your talking to him at work. My husband worked the graveyard shift prior to this so I am used to him being gone at night.
We do not hang up on each other when one person is upset or having an attitude. Yes, this job is extremely dangerous and I don't ever want to have that be our last words to each other. When he does come home and there is some kind of disagreement, dont let him run to his truck till you have worked it out.
Just after my last post going to bed 11pm (my time, you will here that alot). "What time is it?" Your time or my time?" Anyway going to bed and husband called " That was a dead trucker" he says . "What ??!!" " He must have been going to fast because there was no weather to account, Driver side down at the top of Cabbage Hill with the guard rail going straight threw the windsheild. Good night honey sleep tight.
Yeah right.
I know why he does that, I think it is to make sure if I wasn't thinkin about him I would be now.
Again any ?? feel free??
