The Trucker’s Wife #TruckerTuesday
I always talk about the Truck Driver, because I am one and I enjoy it. I’ve also been the trucker’s wife though. We team drove for years, but when my blog got busier I stayed home. As hard as it is to be a truck driver I think it’s even harder to be a trucker’s wife.

My husband got one day of home time per week so basically that meant he was out for 3 weeks, home for 3 days. That’s a LONG time to be with out your spouse. That means you’re the husband and the wife, the mom and the dad, and the everything to everyone in your household.
I really don’t like cutting the grass, shoveling the driveway, and taking out the trash. I am so thankful that my husband enjoys doing all that. Well maybe he just enjoys doing it for me. The point is it’s nice to have someone to split the house hold work with, to do life with.

He was away for 3 weeks! That’s a long time to be away from the person you love. Sure, I spoke to him every day and we even face timed but that’s not the same as being with them.
Plus, there’s also the fact that they’re on the road all the time. I worried about him, naturally.
It totally takes a strong woman to be a trucker’s wife.
Are you a trucker’s wife? Do you know any trucker’s wives?
I’m a trucker’s wife too, It takes a good man to go away for long spans to provide for his family 🙂
I can’t imagine being without T for that long! Kudos to you guys for making it work!!
I’m a trucker’s wife too. Thankfully he’s only gone 2 nights a week. Sometimes I wouldn’t mind if he was gone longer 🙂
Cute trucker family.
I know quite a few trucker wives actually and it is not an easy job. Kind of like a military wife—–you have to figure out how to make it work and once you do you can really enjoy the time that you are together all the more. Where would we be without our truckers?????
Going three weeks at a time without your spouse has to be hard. Being a trucker’s wife can not be an easy job. I’m glad you are able to keep in touch with him daily. That has to at least give you some comfort and connection. Thanks for doing all that you do!
