Hi Tracy,

Driver Solutions would like to thank you for this entry in our Truck Driver Appreciation Contest.  We're glad your husband was able to get a career going as a truck driver.  When know the time away from home isn't always easy, but it sounds like he has plenty of people that care and support him.  We wish you and your family the best.

My husband lost his job after 19 long dedicated years at a paper mill. He always talked about becoming a truck driver but never wanted to leave his family. Now his boys are 18 and 15, the oldest, Corey is leaving for the Air Force and Kyle still in school, he has pursued his dream but with big consequences, he is missing all of Kyle's football, basketball and baseball games.

He has always said he would do anything for his family and he misses us so much out on the open road, he is a wonderful husband and a great father, he is a man that would give you the shirt off his back if you asked him. His uncle was told that he has 6-12 months to live, he has terminal lung cancer, John is very close to him, he lives down the street from us, it is very difficult for him to be gone and not be able to see his uncle George during his dying months. I am holding this family together the best way I can, but I know John is doing his part out there and I know he is thinking about us always.

Your Name: Tracy Walczak
Truck Driver: John Walczak
