rickll .... please over look the negative comments you may read or receive from others. First and foremost remember that trucking is a completely different world from what you may of been use to. We have some awesome people driving and then we have those that want to blame the profession on their unhappiness in life. (those we over look .. their beyond help ... lol )
Now as for your site your wanting to get started ~ I think it's an awesome idea. I personally have met MANY wife/husband teams ... and one thing I've found to be common among many of them is - - living in very close quarters with no place to get away for an hour or so can really fuel a fight fast. Because the stress of dealing with 4-wheelers and wrong directions and etc.. Several people romance at first rolling down the road with their lover and having all kinds of fun and excitement. And it can be just that way - - - with alot of work. Both people have to want it to work, but sad as it is .... not every couple is able to survive living within hands reach of the other for long.
In you site you may want to consider a thread that will address -
How to make the bed more comfortable while the truck is rolling down
the hwy.
Find small ways to help make the tractor feel more like 'home' - since most people will be away from home several weeks before returning to what has been familiar for so long ... you must be at Peace while living in the truck.
Laughter is a Must in the truck ... people could share funny things that's happened to them on the road.
Spiritually is also a Must - each person is able to locate where their sister church may be in each state .... make a list with phone numbers. We can't forget that without some kind of 'connection' with our Higher Being ... whats the purpose of life. ... doesn't matter what religion they are ... it's important. ... Me ~ I had to find a place in a nice rest area and walk off into the woods or pasture and connect with my Spiritual Being.
Consider making it a Rule ... that if ANYONE wants to only bring negativity to Your site --- that they will be BANNED. No exceptions. ...
Life on the road is totally what we make it. For me ... it's a way of life I enjoy and it works good with Who I Am.
Yes this life does have alot of pit falls .... yes it can be depressing .... yes it is a hard way of life .... No it isn't all fun and games ... and this profession isn't forgiving ..... especially to those who think starting out they should lease a truck .... wrong thing to do !!
But go for it .... start your site and watch it grow.
