[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3302398, member: 7900"] Back in one of my earlier iterations of work, I was an 18-wheeler operator, running mostly in Oklahoma, Kansas, and a wee bit in Colorado and Texas. One of those jobs saw me living in Texas, but working full time in Kansas hauling Anhydrous Ammonia fertilizer. We only got to go home if our truck needed work done on it or if rain shut down all the farmers from working for several days. We used to say then that trucking was a job for the single men/women. Divorce rates were high for drivers that were married and away from their families. My last trucking job was with a local company hauling feed to feedlots and then hauling ingredients for the feed back to the plant. I told them I wanted a job where I was home every night... ...in my case, I was always home every night....sometime in the night. (Usually after the kids were asleep. Then I was gone in the morning before they got up.) [/QUOTE]
