In a good relationship to be the wife of a trucker is tough to put it mildly I am sure. In a shaky relationship, a trucker's wife may easily suffer emotionally from lack of attention, lack of appreciation, or lack of support.
It takes a strong, independent, understanding woman to be a trucker's wife and support her husband wholeheartedly and she should be cherished.
You know if you have a supportive, trusting, understanding woman at home that treats you with respect and admire you know how tough your job is on the road everyday. If you have THAT woman at home show her you appreciate her and with the same understanding,trust, support and respect. Show her the love she deserves, don't just utter the words. Show her!
Ladies, tell us your story. Entertain us, educate us or just make us laugh. I am sure other wives would love to hear your voice.
What is it like? How do you cope with your husband being away from home. Where you turn for support when times get tough. How do you keep a positive attitude during the challenges you face as the wife of a trucker?
