However, due to our current finances this would mean pushing a major bill (necessity) off one more week in order to make it happen. Said bill is already a month late.
Do I take the trip and spend $180 or so or do I put that money towards bills? Just thought I'd get other truckers opinion, as most other people don't understand what its like to be apart that long.
I know it may be very tempting to go see him and if it were not for your financial issues at the moment I would say go for it.
However, look at it this way.....you've waited 3 weeks so far (aside the 5 hours you spent with him recently) so what is 1 more week?
At the same time, maybe, just maybe, your presence there when he is trying to test out may be more of a distraction than anything.
Just be a trooper and hang in there one more week. Besides, from what I have read, it seems that most companies will route you through your home to get your truck loaded with personal effects.
