It's nice to hear from all those truckers wives in different situations. Yarrow, it sounds like both you & DH live very interesting lives. I really admire your chutzpah. :goodjob:
DH drives local & I work from home. About 5 years ago, DH's factory moved out of state so he used a grant from the gov't to go to truck driving school. At first, he worked all hours, very unpredictable, 14+ hours day/ 6 days a week. I like it much better now that he has a dedicated run to Chicago every day. He only works 50-60 hours/week & home every weekend. The down side is that he gets sick of doing the same trip everyday.
If need be, I'm sure he would go to OTR but it would be difficult for us both. I have alot of respect for those who can & do drive OTR.
