DRIVER'S COMMENT *USA - How do truckers and their spouses manage a successful marriage?
USA -Truck Net, by Monty Rhoades -5 Dec 2006: -- Over the road trucking is difficult, and it really taxes a relationship... Having been married before I began my tucking career of more than 38 years, I suffered a divorce soon after I began... I attribute it to many causes, but trucking sure contributed. When a person needs the additional comfort of having a spouse there each day, trucking simply does not fill the bill. Being away from home for weeks at a time leaves a relationship more subject to additional stresses that might otherwise be managed... When the water heater fails, or the gutter stops up in a rain storm, when a child is sick and needs care, when the dog escapes the back yard, when the bill collectors call, who deals with all these issues? Not the absent partner... How your marriage will stand the demands of trucking, only you can determine by partner selection, and nurturing of the relationship... If you are already in a troubled marriage, and not a trucker now, do not join our ranks if you have hopes of saving it. Trucking will probably be the straw that broke the camel's back...
