I am new to the trucking business. My life was rather simple an 8 to 5 job and then I met a man from Maine who was and is a trucker. So far I have been on every trip with him and I have found this very interesting to say the least. Some issues in the trucking business I don't understand for instance we have a pickup appointment and when we get there the product is not ready and we wait for hours. I just want to go in the place and fix it! The hours on the road have got boring at times but that is when I play on the computer or read a book. I have seen some beautiful sunsets not much into what the sun looks like coming up - not a morning person. I may not travel with him all the time but for now being newly married I want to go with him. We have no minor children to worry about so nothing to keep me home. I understand how that would be difficult. Ladies this life on the road is not an easy one, driving for hours going from one truck stop to another. I fell in love with my husband by talking on the phone and writing e-mails and you know I believe that you learn more about your husband by this type of communication. When things don't go as we want then or had them planned out we say "Well that's truckin'
