Truck Driving Forums

Good morning;  Anyone out there who brings there wife with them?  Any tips? My wife and I just finished a year and a half in a class A motorhome and now we are going back to work.  I signed up in a good school recommended by the trucking companies in the area and will graduate at the end of april.  My wife will be coming with me.  Anyone that has done this, I would appreciate any heads up on problems we might run into or any other advice.  Thanks

first rember that a happy wife is a happy life, i used to bring my wife with me but on those weeks that wouldn't her best(u know what i mean) learnd to stop more, be understainding, my wife didn't understand on-time-loads, but we got there.  its a good thing that u can have the a/c going in the bunk and the heater going up front.  the most inportent one is get a twin size mattress a real mattress it makes aworld of a difference.

scorpioexf thats funny the heater in the front and air in the bunk gotta love it.

got to love it

DONT DO IT!!!!  Ok since you won't listen to that I'll say this. My girlfriend and I of two years went on the road full time 6 months ago. First with a national carrier in a tractor trailer and it almost ended us. We now are in a stright truck and things are alot better. If she drives also you can make good money. A porta pottie purchased a WM has become a great purchase. Doesnt matter what you do men and women just have different styles of doinf things. Also portable radio's are a necessity. Now about lot lizards, let her deal with them. That knock at three in the morning is best handled by an irate woman ripping open the curtain. Alot of truck stops will give you two showers if you are team drivers. Hope this helps.
