ok, i have 3 uncles that have been driving trucks for over 10 years they love the money, but hate the beating theri bodes take.. Bptoo is correct on taht, one of them has had back sugery once and is due for another one some time next year.

The oother one just switched companies so he could be home on weekends so he could have a life outside of trucking, otherwise he would be on the road 4-6 weeks at at ime..

When you first start off driving a turck, you can be gone more than two months while driving with your trainer, it would be up to him/her and the compnay on how long you are going to be out.. And it would also depend on how well he did in school to depend on if you got to come hoem ofetn.. If they though you needed more traingn they will keep you out longer..

Brandi this is somthign the both of you avhe to work on.. I know you are scaref of being alone, but honey you will have to get over that fact, and understand he will have to wrok wihere he is happyiest.. He will not leave you in the marriage and you know that as well as I do.. Chirs is not a "divorce type" and neiter are you..
So get that thougth out of yoru head.. ok..
(looking over glasses at you )

on the other hand, has he went and really looked for work on the days he is off??? is he really trying to find a differnt job??? is he buying a sunday paper and looking fo rowk or looking on line at the sunday want ads..

He and you can only make your life better if you both try at this "new job" thing with each other, I do not mean, that you need to go with him..
I mean seriosly set down with eacho ther and talk about why he is miserbaly wat work, and what you both want out of a job. and why he wants to drive.. DO not get angry at him when she says he wants to do this type of job over a differnt type of job.. Supprot him.. he is your other half..
He is the one you married and you are the one he married .. "till death do you part, for sickness and health for better or worse" thye mean soemthing to both of you.. now rellly mean those words..
ok..
Enogh rambling ok..
Think about what I have said.. adn then talk with chirs.
i love you both dearly,, and want you both to be happy ok..

Gotta go, class is starign soon..
bye for now..

The light is around me now
I see it so clearly now
I feel him in my heart
Lord God has set me free.
Let me rejoice in you
Let me be free
I love the lord God.
