Has anyone heard the awful news about Arrow Trucking??? Shutting their doors and leaving their drivers out in the cold?? My husband heard it on the trucking station on satellite radio and I just wanted to verify before I said anything??

Thanks by: Anonymous
Thank you for your thoughts. Funny that your husband is always in the southeast (where we live) and mine is always everywhere else, lol.

You put this so good.... by: Robin
I really like the way you said this ....it made me see things a little differently. You seem so "relaxed" and easy-going. It is very true, what you say....about the time you have together. It's so much more defined as "family time" because of the amount of time he's away.
My husband has only been averaging about 3 days a month home....he stays out 18-21 days a pop, and it seems like FOREVER. In those last few days when he's trying to get home it seems like it's a rat race and hard...he gets really tense.
He drives all 48, but he's been mostly east/southeast...we live in Minnesota...so when I say east...I mean anything east of Milwaukee and Missouri...I'd say mostly West Virginia, Indiana, Kansas, Tennessee, Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania have been his main stops, although he's also stopped in Ohio and Texas a couple of times.
I'm glad you've found such a beautiful way to make this your life...we're still trying. My husband's only been driving since August and it's been the finances and the struggle...sick of it already.
We have to learn how to figure it out! I appreciate your attitude and your viewpoint...it was very enlightening!! Thanks, Robin
