[inertia777]

In response to your questions daves.. All people are not alike..there are some gentlemen up here that wouldnt cheat on his lady..This woman likes the idea of the open road..good for her..Maybe she should take it one step farther herself and learn how to drive a big truck...To the 4-wheeler group our lifestyle is exciting and adventurious..You and i both know the difference... Im glad she likes truckers..as there arent many who do..Way to go girl..go get your trucker guy...

Good point!

It isn't the job that causes someone to cheat, being lonely is just a excuse, it is the person, it wouldn't matter what job they had, being on the road and on the internet just makes it alot easier, there are more married men looking for a S-- partner then there are single men. Have you taken alook around any site? How many of them are married and looking because S-- with their wife is boring or she don't want to have S-- and of couse they love her just not inlove nor do they wanna leave cuz they are affraid of losing what they have , blah blah blah, oh yes , they don't want to hurt anyone either, well here is a news flash, iffin your cheating someone will be hurt in the long run!! or how many of them are seperated, wow does their spouses know they are seperated?, I would bet they don't and women are no better, they cheat just like men do, I am by no means a saint, but I never lied about it either. If you had a bad experience with a truck driver oh well , it could of been someone that worked at McDonald's and cheated. But Dave does make a good point, iffin you had such bad experiences why are you here.?! It takes a special breed of person to be involved with a truck driver, not everyone is cut out for it, it is a life style. I was married to a owner operator for 20 yrs before he died. I didn't have a problem with his job, I had a problem with the things he did and said , he had a love affair with his truck not other women. I can compete with another woman ,(btw if you have to fight or compete for someone , they usually aren't worth the effort) I had a hard time competing with 10 wheels and steering wheel and shiney straight pipes. But in the same token it was our livelyhood so you either deal or get the hell out . So now that I am done ranting and raving,( I will always defend the industry cuz it was good to me and sorta kinda still is. ) and really there is nothing wrong with the life style either. I need to shut up!!!!

Trust is the key word here. I have also found that the quality of time spent together more than makes up for the time spent apart. I personally have always been very independent at home (nursing, Red Cross, volunteer work), & realize that after my man has spent a week out on the road, the first thing he seems to want is a hot shower, a hot meal, a hot woman & REST in a real bed! LOL I put my full trust in him being out on the road only because I know how well he's spoiled when he comes home. We always kept in touch on a daily basis & shared what was going on in our lives & truly anticipated a fantastic reunion upon his return. If a woman can't take being alone most of the time, a trucker certainly is not for her...but if she's independent & has a caring nature, give it a shot!

I'm writing because i'm bored and i must admit i didn't read all of the write-ups, but the "jist i got from what i read was some men and woman at home insecure about the other on the road. My experience on the road is almost all of us (99.9%) are too dam busy, stressed or tired to be looking for love and lord knows it isn't to be found at truckstops, erotic cafe's (which i've never been too) or strip clubs i out grew them at 23 in the navy). Hell you folks at home are in a much much much better position to cheat and / or find love. Best of Luck to all.

Do truckers who "cheat" mind if their ladies take care of their own needs with partners instead of toys???

maybe you women don't know.
which one would you say it more painful to a man ?
having his wife ---- a total stranger? or , having her betray his trust by doing things like talking ill of him behind his back, telling others about your relationship , or getting so drunk at the bar you divulge secrets of your S-- life to his co-workers , then forgetting you did it when you sober up and letting him find out what she said through the grapevine?
well i speak from experience here when i say , i wish she would have ----ed the stranger!

`well I don't know about anyone else but i was married for 20 yrs to a good woman and I was and otr drive and still am one now but we divorced cause she hit that change of life s--- and couldn't deal with it / But I never cheated on my old lady 1 time and never wanted to at all cause i really loved her and she me so we both knew that no matter what we where in it for the long run but were still good friends and the kids are all good with it and whats happened with all of it .

It is a special breed of people....I have been there and loved it. I drove with him 15 years after the babies grew up and went to college. The best trucker in the world. I had alot to learn...20 years old when I meant him..gosh a fine man! It was hard at first...back in those he was gone 2 to 3 months at time, now worry about that. Cell phones not there....truckstop phones yes. He would wait in line for his turn and we would wait for the call. Do you realize what it is like to be behind that wheel looking at that black road with the white line...10 hours or longer....no one to talk to...when you get to a truckstop or destination you talk peoples ear off. Do you ladies have friends and talk to them when you are lonely...yep I did. We are a special breed of people...when Dad comes home it is entense....the children keep their hands off of him and talk his ear off. I learned to work on our car and later in life work on the truck. Our family is close....there is so many dangers out there when your man is gone and I promise you are in his thoughts always..besides looking at your picture on the visor.
Now the other end is he taught me drive that huge rig...lol..the reason I say that is gosh when I looked in that mirror holy cow...It got longer and longer as I looked. I told dang how in the heck am I going to keep this big thing in my lane....he laughed...15 years with him was a blessing. I traveled all over US and Canada...just dont have a bridge long enough to get to Hawaii. I will never forget how I thought a jake brake would slow me down on a grade....well I learned...white smoke at the bottom..chicken coop to my left. Started to pull over and my husband said ..lesson number one learned and dont wake me up till you get to San Fransico....I am proud to say I have earned saftey awards, best driver of the year and Best team...
I hauled refer, box and cars...loved every minute.
I also learned what it was like out there even driving team away from love ones....wanting so much to talk to a person even with my better half in the sleeper.
So ladies it has to do with trust and understanding. He is out busting his butt and thinking about when he gets home to you. Sure there is nasty lot lizzards dang they are an ugly bunch....watresses that have there ear talked off listening to the grip and about their families. Oh and cant wait to get home to a home cooked meal. 3 days home is never enough but that is the rules of trucking.
Hang on to that man....never let him leave thinking you are mad....never let him leave with out an I love you. Because he is a special breed and without us nothing moves.....If you want to grip call dispatch...they are the evil ones.....Something funny to mind is I called dispatch long time ago when my kids where babies....he had been out 5 weeks...(this is before conventionals and big engines) I told dispatch dang if I wanted another child I could adopt one faster....oh well you all know the answer to that.
Well that special man of my life past away 7 months ago..best Truckdriver on the highway....Miss you Grumpy and now I miss the road and the freedom. Thanks for reading....

`Wow, I guess I was just raised old school. Don't say it unless you mean it and don't commit unless you are in it. I recently dated a driver for many years and before him I was completely independent. So him being gone all week gave me a chance to miss him, we talked throughout the week and stuff but I took care of things at home and he drove. Why am I here then? Well I tried to make it work for yrs but the lot lizards and friends withbenifits won. I stayed true for 12 years. I keep reading that people are looking for this and that but in the end (so far) they really just want to hump and run. Just saying...
