Basic Things you need to Know about Truck Drivers




Long hours away from home.

 Truck drivers have DOT rules to follow which limit drive time. So if you’re looking to make as much as you can expect to be putting in very long days while you’re out there. This means a lot of time away from family! Trucking is no 9-5 job so your spouse needs to be open minded and very independent.

 Driving through bad weather.

 Use commonsense, if you aren’t comfortable driving don’t drive. Don’t jeopardize your life and the life of others trying to push through heavy snow and ice or hurricane weather. Safety first!!!

 Eat Truck Stop Food.

 I’ve been on many trips with my husband and the restaurants in the truck stop aren’t that bad. However, you will get tired of fast food and eating out. On your next trip home pack a couple days worth of home cook meals that you can enjoy. Keep a refrigerator or cooler in the truck for these items. You can always heat then up at the truck stops or when you get to your next stop.

 Self Entertainment.

 If you have a layover. Every city has something to do and see. The problem you will have is parking. Find a safe legal place to park your rig or take a cab to the movies. You have options you don’t have to hang around the truck stop the entire time, get out and live a little.

 Meeting Interesting People.

 You will meet plenty of clowns and shit talker over the road. Some people are sincere looking for there next opportunity, and some just out there looking for their next adventure. If you keep an open mind let loose a little you will adjust to the trucking industry.

 Adjusting to having two lifestyles.

 It can be challenging to having a loner lifestyle outside of your family lifestyle. At times it may seem weird to come home in relate to what everyone else is doing. Just look at it as you having the experience and the best of both worlds.

 Be Inspired!!!

The Lonely Life Of a Trucker's Wife

People don’t have a clue about being a wife of a trucker. They look at you like you got it made. “As if!” Being a trucker’s wife is a hard job.  Being a trucker’s wife and a mother on top of that is even harder. Not only do the wife have to muli-task, housework, laundry, run errands, pay the bills, when and if she receives a check from her husband. But, she also has the task of caring for the needs of their children school work, cooking, after school activities. In if she has an outside job Lord help her. A trucker wife has to manage and balance the income while her husband is away. She has to do the oil changes on the cars, any repairs that need to be meet, and let’s not forget about that forest that grows in the front yard yes, “mow the lawn.” She has to be a mom and dad to the children, along with running her husband errands. A trucker wife has to make sure things run as smooth as possible while her better half is on the road. A trucker’s wife dream of a fairy tale marri
