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 support and I am happy to give it to him.

He loves to drive. Plain and simple. He can't imagine himself at another dead end job, not enjoying life. Being a truck driver is a way for him to both, make a living and see the world.

Of course there are tough times, like when your truck is out of commission for days and days, but once he gets back on the road, he knows it was worthing waiting for the repairs instead of just giving up. Being away from home for long periods of time is rough too, but as his wife, I assure him we are doing just fine and always looking forward to him coming home for a few days.

My husband deserves to win this contest because he drives with the most important thing.. His heart. It's what he loves to do and he has achieved his dream.
