A Beginning

I'm a truckers wife?

Ok, so when my husband first approached me with this idea, I wasn't so excited. I knew very little about trucking and what I did know was based on stereotypes that didn't paint a very good picture. I kind of thought it was a passing fancy. I figured if I just let him do his research, he'd decide it wasn't for him.

I read the bb's and blogs he told me about and everytime I saw something negative, I'd ask him if he'd thought about it. I wasn't trying to discourage him.... I just wanted to make sure he wasn't going into this with some fantasy in his head.

Well he started driving in June 2006 and we've hit a few bumps along the road, but he's still loving it, so it looks like we might be in for the long haul....

When we were doing our research we loved reading blogs of other drivers. It was fun to get a peek into their lives. Hubby liked to see where they traveled to. I liked to see how they organized their truck, how they paid their bills and what kind of food they could cook in their truck.

Now it's our turn. We want to share what we've learned along the way. Maybe it will help other families who are contemplating this lifestyle.

Hubby has a laptop and will check in and add pictures of his adventures from the road, and I'll share the news from the home front.
