5.0 out of 5 stars
A fast read,
By Dinosaur Dan (Chesterfield, Mi.USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marriage in the Long Run: A Collection of Articles for Families of Professional Drivers (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for not only, the trucker(s) wife, but also the very subject of the book, the truck driver himself.I also believe that after both parties read this, there should be a discussion about what the other has learned, both the good and bad. Closed mouths & closed minds can not only lead to suspicisions, but can also lead to divorce.The articles contained herein are a fast read, lest anyone think they are going to get bogged down with a heavy hand and preaching.

Engaged to a trucker driver and gave me some insight!,
By Andrea Voytko - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marriage in the Long Run: A Collection of Articles for Families of Professional Drivers (Paperback)
I am really not a book reader, but this one caught my eye. I am engaged to an over the road truck driver and when I see the 20 tail lights out the driveway I am left with 3 Shar Pei dogs, a house to keep organized, bills to tend to, laundy, dishes and a full time out of home job. You ladies know what I am going though. I found myself reading more and more of the articles laughing at some of the insert, because they are so true! This truely is an awesome book that will get you thinking about different things in the relationship. Also it kinda gives me a taste to what to expect in the future. I read that I am not alone and these are common feelings other truckers wife go though. I also am learning a few things from other mistake from the book. I found it gave me a variety of emotions to each insert and each chapter. I can't wait for the next book to come out. This is a really good book, comming from a person who rarly finds book that keep my instrest. It really is a book for someone involved with a long distance relationship <3~Love your man who trucks over the road.. If you are not strong enough to love him, then who is <3

A Trucker's Wife - Wonder Woman Would've Been Served Well By Such a Mentor,
By Gary Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Marriage in the Long Run: A Collection of Articles for Families of Professional Drivers (Paperback)
Very engaging memoir of the challenges of being an OTR trucker's wife. The emotions, conflicts, and rewards (though the rewards seem quite limited),as well as her means of dealing with these challenges are well expressed through the real-life experiences of the author. The issues relevant to the relationship described here, I've no doubt, would be empathetic to any relationship where significant separation time is a factor. A good read!
