CDL Driver

Why I drive..

Im a truck driver. The hours are can be crazy sometimes but i never minded driving long distances. My company takes care of me and im able to support my wife and kid..

I stopped on my way home last weekend and grabbed a nintendo switch for my son since ive been away and we had a BLAST playing mario kart! I grew up playing games with my dad and to be able to pass that on and spend time with my son was amazing. Being able to provide for my family makes all the sacrifice worth it!

How do you guys find time for your families?

I know your job can be really hard, and tiredsome so rest when you can, and it makes the job all worth while, if you can spend that quality time with your son, that’s awesome, I help to take care of my mother, it can be stressful sometimes, but glad that I’m able to do it, my husband has a good job as well, take it easy. Sincerely Heather Selah

I only took jobs that enabled me to spend time with my family. When my child was about five, a company offered me a position that paid double, but required overnight travel 8 days of 10. I turned them down. I'd rather have that irreplaceable time with my family instead of banal money.
