• It depends on what kind of driving your hubby does, some are home every night some are only home weekends some are only home once or twice a month or less. When my hubby was gone 4-6 weeks at a time hauling household goods, i thought it was too stressful and tiring! When he was in town i was too tired to spend any time with him and he was too tired to really play with the kids. Although it greatly reduced his pay, he is now hauling grain and home every weekend now and that is much better for us. It is definitely worth the financial sacrifices. You do have to be a strong woman. You have to have confidence that whatever comes up while he is out of town you can handle! Good luck.

• My husband teams with Schneider and loves it.  It has been good income which allows me to stay home with my kids and spend time with him when he is home. The downside is that he is only home a few days a month (usually all at once if they stay out three weeks...by choice or if they stay out two then they r usually home (thursday night)  friday sat sun and head out monday.  The life style is hard to get use too but it does eventually get and the ladies in this group are a wonderful bunch and we are here for each other for support, advice or anything one another may need.
