My husband recently became a truck driver in April 2011. He has been dreaming about this job for as long as I've known him and even before then.

When we first starting dating, he left on my birthday to go to truck driving school. Once out on his own, he only lasted about 3 months. Now that we are married, he decided to give it another shot. And he is doing much better this time around.

I am extremely proud of my husband going after and achieving his dreams. He says he couldn't do this without my...Read More » »

There are many others who perhaps are more deserving of this prize. But in these hard times any one who changes careers at 55 should receive something for their efforts. First I give my Lord, Jesus Christ, the credit for the ability to accomplish this task.

You see I had two jobs; driving a school bus and doing maintenance work for the church where my wife and I attended. The economy turned sour, people lost jobs, decreased income, as a result I need to leave the church, the major source of our...Read More » »

I used to live in Southwest Florida where I held a job in the pest control industry and gave kayak fishing trips for extra income. I had never taken into consideration that I would one day be without my money or fishing. When the BP oil spill happened my business went under. Oil in the Gulf scared almost everyone from going fishing, yet alone, in a kayak. I took it in stride and kept on. The next loss was the economy in SW Florida. The company I worked with for seven years started losing...Read More » »

I deserve the trucker convenience package because I share my life experiences on the road with all my friends. I post status updates, check in where I am at and show my fellow facebook friends pictures of the truck I am driving or the loads I am carrying. everything from Super B Cement Bulkers to Oversize loads. I handle it all and drive anywhere that I am needed to be. I work hard and share!

Where to start...

I have been a trucker's daughter all my life. It was very rough never having my father around. I never understood why he was always leaving me.

Now surprise surprise I am a trucker's wife, my husband and I would always talk about how our father's were gone all the time because his father is to a driver. So now I have to miss my husband all the time. And watch my children go through what I did. They miss him all the time.

I don't believe people give truck drivers the respect they...Read More » »
