My husband Terry is starting over at age 52 as a trucker. This is something he has always wanted to do and life being what it is we could never afford for him to forgo a steady income to take his CDL training and go for it. But sometimes life throws us a curve that turns out to be for the best. In Oct. 2010 Terry was laid off like many others in this country. And after realizing it wasn't going to be a short term thing we decided it was time to do what he always wanted and that was go to truck driving school.

Terry has always worked away from home so our being apart is nothing new to us, most of the 15 + yrs we've been married he has traveled for work. But the difference this time is I can join him and we can finally spend time together, something we have never been able to do throughout our marriage.

Terry has worked through family vacations, births of our grandkids, birthdays what ever through all these years in order to make a living for us, now finally he is doing what he's always wanted and I'm grateful for the trucking schools and Driver Solutions who give people like my husband a chance to live their dream. Without the programs the school offered to pay for the schooling we could never have done this. Terry has given so much of himself for us over the years I'd love to see him get something to make his life a little easier while he's out there on the road.
