Anthony,

If your relationship is solid before it can go through anything but if it has issues they can be difficult to deal with while on the road. All I know is it can be done and done successfully but all relationships you value either with a spouse or a child require attention and time. If you value them then they are worth the sacrifices you will have to make.

My husband is gone a lot but when he comes home he makes a point to spend special time with each person alone and as a family. I guard my marriage and protect it with my life, I would rather die then trash the people I love or neglect their needs.

Best wishes

I was brought up with my Dadf always on the road . I guess I accepted it better than others would. We always did vacations and he sent me a postcard every other day,

 

1)I will ask my wife when she gets back from her cruise.
2)I will ask her when she gets home from shopping with the money left over from trucking pay check after paying bills and putting some in savings and college fund.
3)Wants to drive the new van we were able to buy to Galveston for the cruise.
4) Choose a good company (Crete) and kids can ride with you at an earlier an age than most companies.

 

Most people that have a family that loves them will not stay out for more than a week at a time.
The ones that stay out longer are usually trying to get away from their life at home.

 

North Alabama is a good place to come home to.

anyway back too the original question (if you cant remember scroll up way up)

Dont let it get in your blood.. meaning dont let her get used to you being gone, or the paycheck in the mail. as long as you find excuses to stay gone and be a driver she will find excuses to help you stay gone.

For example, one time I was really considering getting out. I really wanted to find something else and the job I was looking at paid alto less. After looking at the upcoming bills with my wife I found myself sitting listening to my her ask me if there was anyway my company would give me any extra miles over the weekends.....I said to myself right then"self she wants you to leave even longer from home".

Now she is no bitch she dint even realizer what she was saying it just came out natural.
she does not always think like that it is just what this lifestyle has made us think.

SoooOOO..... do you want to be remembered as a man who loved his family and provided for them or do you want to be remembered as a man who was always around for them..
no matter what these guys here tell ya.......it ain't gonna be both.. so pick one or the other.

my choice is they will remember me more for what I gave them and the little time I was around. NOT for being around more and always being broke.
IT IS UP TO you?

also you will find lots of people here giving advise to over the road drivers who go home every night so pick the post you read (even mine) carefully
