Need Tips for Supportive Spouses

Alisa, I've been a trucker supporter for 26 years. Here's what I've learned; keep a clean house, always have something yummy to eat, be spontaneous for anything my husbands schedule varied in the early days then he got a set run. Remember sometimes he's very tired the trip may not have gone as planned. Lots of stupid near miss accidents possible and he may not tell you so you won't worry.(remember he is a trained professional car drivers not so much). Don't plan too many activities outside the home. He's spending so much time away from home he may just want to lounge around with the remote. Listen to him, love him, and don't complain. Good luck and God bless!

Height?

Hi Ciara, I'm a petite 5'1" lady driver. I too had trouble with the seats. I totally agree with Kemo great tips! (I could have used them. I stalled on a big hill down shifting went from 55 to 0 just like that. )... back to the seats, one thing that helped me was to slide the seat forward first then let the air out and lower the seat. The school I went was trying to order pedal extensions but then I would have that restriction on my license. So glad I didn't do that. I did use a pillow in back of me sometimes because we had two different trucks for training. The examiner new this and let me test in the better truck. The company I work for has newer trucks and all the seats adjust perfectly the steering wheel adjusts also. So far no size problems. Strength....now that's another issue make sure you have a hammer! Those glad hands can be a bugger. Good luck!
