Reading Julie's story the level of passion and love she has for her husband is unquestionable. Julie is yet another extra-ordinary woman who seems to have the right mindset to give great advice to truckers and trucker wives on issues of the homes be it relationships or parenting.

It isn't easy being the wife or the driver in the trucking industry. I think that is one thing we all easily understand. These ladies don't pretend that it wasn't but their growth may just be what you need to help your experience be less painful.

Advice For Truckers and Truckers Wives

Maybe your not sure about how you are viewing a situation at home. Sometimes we all need an unbiased opinion on things. Someone that has no interest in the matter at all. You may need just an honest evaluation of what's what.

Drivers. . . Can't figure out why your wife is giving you a hard time at home?
Why can't she see things your way, is it you or is it her? Maybe it's a little of you both, but maybe you can get advice on how to make things better.

These ladies are trucker's wives just like your wives are so they know exactly what they are going through.

Trucker's Wives do you need to know how you should handle certain situations with your trucker hubby? Are you having problems and you don't know why. Is your friends interfering with your thoughts about your man. Maybe you need to talk to some ladies that have been there an done that to get honest opinions about your situation.
Ladies Maybe you need to ask questions to other truckers to get a drivers perspective about something feel free to do that too by visiting another driver. Well guess what here's Keith (yes Jennifer's husband to help you out.

Ask or Answer Questions Below

Thanks for coming by. These experienced ladies can offer you great advice about your relationships or parenting as a truckers wife. I might even make an attempt.

If any of you want to answer questions also. Feel free to add your opinion the more responses the more interesting. Please don't put your last names just the first and state if you want. (Also remember your spouse will likely visit the site one day. If your airing issues you wish not to be confronted about airing someday, you may want to use a alias name and location, that's fine too)

Also, remember we are trying to be helpful and constructive, so no need to be nasty or hateful to anyone. Thanks

Marriage Advice

4 Common Problem Starters

If you need marriage advice or marriage counseling you really want to get it before trucking becomes a part of the picture. Both of you deserve to to have a fair chance at happiness. Relationships are the cornerstone of life and happiness and that relationship between a husband and wife should be the strongest each of you are in.

Keith's (Jennifer's Husband)


Advice from Larry about Marriage


I'm laughing (as always)but it's really not funny when a relationship is infiltrated by a third party. But just think of how many relationships are infiltrated because the person who gave in to temptation did it because their spouse were not attentive and nurturing to the relationship which leaves the spouse lonely and empty. Yous guys, please take care of your relationships and if you have problems, you can get CD's to listen to going down the highway to for good advice and insight for how to build healthy strong relationships and marriages.

Also if you just find AFR (American Family Radio), Bot Radio Network or other Christian talk stations, you will learn core values needed to think in a way that benefits your relationships. Also there are lectures given directly addressing the issue of creating or even restoring the marriage.Other call in shows dealing with relationships will also give you insight as to what causes problems and how to address them. So there is plenty of help out there, use it.

Most people were not raised in an environment where these things were taught or modeling in many cases so don't feel there is something wrong with you needing to gain knowledge to help you in this area. If you were raised in a single parent home (and don't waste time giving me grief about keeping it real, do some research is you have a problem with this statement) you should especially be receptive to listening to CDs or reading about building healthy relationships.
