I hear you...
by: Brigit

I am in MN as well, my bf drives OTR and I found this website to try and connect with some other women who may understand and not feel bad for me, I just need some support to get thru the rough times. It's it's own lifestyle - I get phone calls when he's gone and try to not make him feel bad for making a living. He doesn't want to be an owner-operator and been doing this with several companies for over 5 years, they have their pro's and con's - his latest one let me go out on the road with him and not require us to be married, a real plus, so Feb - July this year (2011) I was able to go out with him and see the country and learn what he goes thru and it made a huge difference. I had been unemployed for a year and a half and thankfully found a FT position with a non-profit that is great, but ended my ability to go out with him, so am adjusting and some day I can go again after I build up some time off... I was crying last nite, I miss him so much and was hormonal - doesn't help. I don't put a guilt trip on him or tell him I miss him, just "suffer" with myself, thus my looking on here for support. Nice to find a MN connection. Brigit

I Understand
by: Julie

I used to be with my boyfriend every single day. I cut out most of my friends because all that I wanted to do was spend my time with him. His dad had a simple surgery go wrong last year and he was unconscious in the ICU for 8 months. My boyfriend had to take over driving the truck to support his entire family as an owner operator. He's been driving now for almost a year and not a day goes by that I don't feel completely alone. I can tell you one thing that will help you out in the long run, driving for a company will never pay very good. SWIFT is a company that I have heard nothing but bad things about. You need to talk to him about becoming an owner operator. My boyfriend drives five days a week and makes between three and five thousand dollars a week before fuel. Leasing on to a company as owner of the truck will pay more than anything swift will ever do. Being an owner operator also means being your own boss and being able to be home when you want to. As long as my boyfriend has a couple weeks notice to be home for something special, his dispatcher can find loads to get him there. Please take this to heart because I know how painful it is to be left on your own for a month at a time, and there is better stuff out there, you just have to look for it. I wish you both the best of luck.
