Relationships on the Road: Dating a Truck Driver

3.6/5 - (11 votes)

We’ve all heard it before: life on the open road can get lonely for truckers. If you haven’t already found love by the time you become a truck driver, it may be hard to ever find it. Last year, we talked about some of the perks of online dating for truckers and a lot of our readers’ comments demonstrated just how hard it is to find a good relationships when you’re on the road.

But why?

With professions specific dating sites, online dating gives truck drivers a way to look for love while on the road.

Why is it that, in the trucking industry, the same people that are able to keep the entire country going are not able to keep their relationships going, or have trouble finding a partner at all?

Let’s explore some of the reasons that truck drivers have a hard time finding the “one”, and for the ones that have found their match, we’ll look at some of the ways they keep the romance alive.

Struggles of trucking relationships

There are many reasons why truck drivers have trouble finding their perfect match, and it’s not their fault. Relationships are hard for anyone, but especially a trucker. If you are thinking about dating a trucker, there are some factors you want to consider.

Long distances make for long distance

Long-haul truckers are on the road for days or even weeks at a time. Even if they are coming home weekly or monthly, with all the time away, it can feel like you are in a long distance relationship.

There may be times that you will not be able to talk to your trucker because their sleep schedule may be different than yours, or maybe they are in an area of the country with no cell phone reception.

Irregular schedules

Another thing that makes being in a relationship with a trucker is that you cannot necessarily schedule events with them. Most truckers are on irregular schedules; coming and going at different times of the day, week, and month.

Being a trucker and having a family is tough. You may have to miss out on some of your little one’s most special moments.

For truckers with families, it can be even more difficult. Even if they want to be there, truckers may miss some important happenings like graduations, or recitals. If you want to have a family with a trucker, you will have to be creative with how you will both share the special moments they may miss.

Magnified Trust Issues

Trust is an issue for many couples that get to see each other every day. Sometimes, people who date long-haul drivers fear that their trucker will also date other people in various towns on their routes.

And we’ve all heard the stories about truck stop prostitution. I mean there’s a documentary about it, and we even wrote about “lot lizards” last July. Also known as ‘pavement princesses’ or ‘male buffalos’ in the case of male prostitutes, they have been known to lurk at truck stops, going from truck to truck searching for lonely drivers looking for a good time.

And what about the people at home while their trucker is on the road? They could also be having a relationship on the side. Truckers and their significant others need to fully trust each other if they want to make their relationship work.

Reality of the trucking lifestyle

Truckers lead a stressful and generally unhealthy lifestyle. They are responsible for safely transporting thousands of pounds of goods, which is demanding enough. But truckers also have constantly changing sleep schedules that depend on their pick up and delivery times.

Trucker’s aren’t always able to shower daily on the road. That feeling of clean is something that non-truckers may take for granted. Truckers also have trouble finding healthy eating and exercise options. A whopping 70 percent of truckers are obese, and drivers are twice as likely to be diagnosed with diabetes.

Again, the trucker is not to blame for this. It is the reality of the industry, and all of these factors can take a toll on a trucker physically, mentally, and emotionally, making it hard for them to nurture relationships.

Staying together when you’re both alone

It may be hard to make a relationship with a trucker work, but it is definitely possible. Here are some tips to help you and your trucker find your happily ever after:

  • Spend time alone together. Your time together will already be limited, by setting aside time without the kids or in-laws, will help you both feel more connected to each other.
  • Stay connected. Communication is a major key to making any relationship work. With all the mobile technology, you can make the best of your relationship by calling, texting, video calling, playing apps together, and more.
  • Learn about the trucking industry. If you are not a trucker, you will want to take some time to learn some of the industry ins and outs. If possible, take a trip with your trucker to learn what they really go through on a daily basis and grow closer.
  • Learn to manage stress. Truckers have it tough. The nature of the industry makes it a stressful job. If you’re keeping the home together while they are on the road, you will also experience stress as well. Learning how to healthily manage and communicate when you are frustrated will go a long way for your relationship.

Though it may be hard, finding love as a trucker is worth it. What is your experience with relationships?

Maybe you’re a trucker who has a successful relationship for years and want to tell your fellow truckers how you keep the romance. Maybe you know someone that has given into the temptation of a lot lizard or male buffalo. Or perhaps you’re just a trucker that is looking for love and wants to find other truckers to talk to.

  1. I’ve been driving for a bout 2 years and for 2+ years I’ve been single. I have had a hard time starting relationships in the past but now it is impossible. I’m 24 and have tried multiple dating sites with no real conversations to be had since I used them. the girls that do show interest in me are usually scammers trying to make a quick buck and it drives me insane and I have lost all faith in Internet dating. I have thought about finding a different job multiple times that would have me home more. but I’m scared about getting paid less and going back to living paycheck to paycheck. Truck driving is a good paying job but doing long haul is maddening if you have no one to comfort you when you get home.

      • I have been dating an OTR driver for several months now. I live in Dallas and his company is out of Minnesota. He makes regular trips to Dallas so we can be together. I even flew to meet him a few weeks ago and was able to drive back to Dallas with him. We are in the process of moving to Tampa together and look forward to as much time together as possible. I have a good job that keeps me busy and occupies my time. I miss him a lot, but we frequently call and text. It is manageable for us. I dont think overly-needy women could ever handle this, though.

        • I grew up with my Step Dad being a long hauler and my Mom had her CDL for a bit, as well as my Aunt and Uncle for many years until they retired. I am fairly certain I’m going to be getting my CDL. The only tip I have for guys is when a woman talks to you and does strike up a conversation with you. Don’t be rude to her and assume she is a lot lizard. I am a roadside flagger 3 hours from home. The guy was cute as hell but asking me within 15 minutes of conversation if I want to share your bed with you is rude to say the least. Maybe try asking a chick to dinner if you are coming back through or ask her for her number. Look for a chick who works with her hands too. You don’t have to both be drivers. I am major bummed he didn’t ask for my number!!! What a waste!!!

          • Hy

      • Pennie,

        Congratulations on a lasting marriage and you are in my thoughts with your loss.

        How did you two do it? I recently met an amazing guy. His career of driving long haul scares the hell out of me. How did you deal only seeing your husband a few days every 4-6 weeks?

        Kevin has been gone only a couple of weeks and we still have at least 4 weeks before we get to see each other.

        I’m 47 and have never had a long distance relationship.
        Does it get harder or easier as time goes by?

        Irene

        • How are you doing now? I just started to date a trucker in May. It is really tough to do. If my guy wasn’t the wonderful man he is, I would walk. away and to be honest, I think about doing that towards the end of the month before he comes home for 4-5 days. When mine is home he is running here and there constantly. I told him to pencil me in and his response was that I will be with him when he does all that running. He doesn’t realize that I need my own time with him too. Hugs

        • Hi Irene. I met my guy 3 years ago. First trucker i had ever dated. He lived in Oklahoma I in Texas. We met and it was love at first site. He didnt tell me he drove over the road and was gone for days at a time. We got narried, i quit my job, sold my house and moved to Oklahoma to his home. Then BOOM he was gone and i felt like I’d been hit in the head by a ton of bricks. He’d be back in a few days. I was devastated. I felt like he had lied to me. Had I known more about his job I would not have married him. We have moved back to Texas and he is almost 70. He isnt driving anymore and its been one year since he quit driving. But we fight all the time. Why, he doesn’t know how to communicate. He can’t function outside of a truck cab. He can be verbally abusive at times. I love him but I dont love his ways. I wish you luck. Be careful and think long and hard before your in the same issue that im in. God Bless.

        • Hi what are the requirements for a truck driver to bring their spouse do they need a background check Identification other documentation’s

        • Hi Pennie, I’m married to an OTR driver. If you are allowed to take a trip with the man you are dating, I recommend going with him. Not only will you have the opportunity to see the country side you will have the opportunity to spend time with your man and gain an appreciation for what it is like to live on the road.

    • I have been with my boyfriend a year now and he drives it hasn’t been easy. We have both been in relationships where the other person was unfaithful. We found each other on POF but there are some people on there just looking for a quicky and met some people i still talk to great friends. But keep your head up that one person is out there. With our relationship now I’m on the truck with him and looking to get my cdl and being a team, also buying our own truck. Good luck sweetie ur still young don’t give up she out there somewhere.

    • There’s still good women out there! I’ve met the love of my life who’s a trucker he’s the sweetest and most caring guy ever. I’d never do anything to hurt him. A lot of women nowadays always say they want a real man but they don’t want to stay faithful and make things work with a real man. I’ve never had luck on dating apps either until I met my trucker! If anyone happens to find luck all I could say is TRUST and COMMUNICATE as much as possible. Definitely try to get to know each other more. Also invite that lucky woman on the truck with you once you two have dated for a while. Definitely take her on dates if you ever find time to which may not be as often. It really takes a strong woman to date a trucker. Many women think truckers are nasty serial killers but that’s not true. Most women fall out of love quickly or cheat because they don’t get enough attention and most of them just can’t seem to understand. Hopefully y’all find real LOVE soon!

    • Hey people, ….just wanted to share a bit of how hard it is to find a partner. I just got dumped today…lol. She said she deserved better. Well to be honest, I knew it was going to happen. Im actually mentally prepared now from all the times it happens. Im 33 frm south tx and do long haul for a week. I was also married, and as a result of driving, I am divorced too…lol. Let’s put it this way. For some lucky drivers, they have a partner at home already used to the truck driving ambient and are happy already because they work around it. Others have their partner with them on the road, either driving together or plainly for company. (I see them and i say to myself, “someday”) Guys, keep your spirtis high, dnt let loneliness
      and pain get in the way of what you want. Take care.

    • Wow, where do I even begin. I believe I’m falling in love with my truck driver. We’ve met on a dating site and immediately took it down when we were both interested. I’ve met several people on the dating site but it was something about us that connected. Here it goes… we’re both divorce now he has dated while separated but I haven’t. I was separated for 3 years so being involved with my trucker I had accepted the relationship of what comes with it and I’m okay with that. The exciting part about us is that we have so much in common. We’re both business owners. He runs his truck business and I run my Art business, he’s a Deacon ad we’re both Christian’s and believe in the Lord how great is that connection. It was God because God and it’s been so beautiful of what we share. We are both comedians and we just laugh, laugh, and laugh. We talk, text, sing, and pray together on the phone. I had encouraged him to write a book about his life as a truck driver. It will be a big seller. One thing I will like to share is being a truck driver is very tough. Here’s what we do. As soon as we know where his next load is going, I make arrangements to fly out and wait for him in the hotel and then he comes meet me and we’ll take it from there. Number 2 – Get candles the ones that are battery operated and spread them all over in the truck, dim the lights, and go to the TRUCK stop and grab your dinner, don’t forget your plates, spoons, you catch the drift and have a candle light dinner. Number 3 – Make videos, and more videos, sexy ones as well as funny ones and send them to him. Recently, I made a funny Hill Billy video. I had the pig tails, and shirt tide up in the front and dance really Hillbillyish and he was stuck in traffic so the video was right on time. He said he was in tears cracking up. Number 4 – Let him know how much you miss him , support him all the way make sure to ask how the truck is doing. My trucker is in love with his truck. I mean he washes her, takes good care of her and recently got some nice shoes (High heels) for her and she is so bright so do aske how the truck is doing, The love that and Number 5 – The juicy ending. Sex him up. Have sex on the bed, on the refrigerator doggie style and my favorite while he is in his seat and just get on top of him with heels on or turn around. Don’t forget to dance for him. I hope this helps some. I can’t wait to see my KING. I Love HIM. God Bless.

  2. I was very fortunate in that I was already married, and with no kids. I took my wife with me and her and I live in the truck and we both love the lifestyle. We have a microwave oven and plenty of storage space for food. It makes a big difference when the love of your life likes to ride along with you.

  3. I’m with my trucker 24/7. He drives and I do the business side. Being together all the time has its ups and downs as well. If we have a disagreement, we just have to work it out right then and there. The other thing is trust. We trust each other. When we have down time, its also personal space time. We can talk to other people and not worry about each other having an affair. We have been together for 10 years. I have been on the truck year round for 5 years. We make it work together. We do feel for other truckers that have to leave there loved ones at home and be out here by themselves. Be safe everyone.

    • Hey, I’m looking at starting a career in trucking and bring my wife/best friend with me, was just wondering at how much time I’m looking at being away from her before I actually have her in the truck with me. We have been together for 14 years

      • That definitely depends on the type of trucking job you get and how much money you want to make! There are jobs out there that let you be home every night, some long hauls that get you home every weekend, but others that keep you on the road for weeks at a time.

  5. Hey I’ve been with my trucker for 9 months and we have been happy with the communication and the times we spend when he’s home. We were friends for 20 years before our relationship so I knew what I was getting into. Up until now litterally today, I haven’t had any issues, but I’m feeling very insecure today but because he’s recently divorced and his heart was broken he isn’t a very emotionally attached person so I can’t open up to him about my insecurities!! We are always in contact via WhatsApp, FaceTime or calls, but, this is massive lol we haven’t spoken for 24 hours!! I don’t know if it’s because we spent the last week together that we both don’t have much to say so we have just been sending texts. Is this normal??? I don’t know what normal is anymore. I do know that I love and trust him very much and I would never cheat or hurt him in anyway, also I know he wouldn’t do that to me too.

    • In My experience If you don’t tell him what is bothering you h will never know. A lot of assumptions happen when their is no communication . It’s hard women especially me, like to speculate and think of the worst thing possible. Normally first day back to work you have to catch up with everyone. Yada yada. Just ask.

  6. I have been dating a truck driver for roughly over 4 years, and he’s recently started working for a new company maybe s little over 2 months ago. He lives at home with his mom because he doesn’t want to leave her in the house alone. He’s about to be 27yrs old. Him and his mom are from Louisiana and have been living here in Texas for the past 15-20 years when his mom decides she wants to move back to Louisiana about a month ago. So since he’s just starting his new job he had to go they a process to make sure he could be transferred somewhere closer to where they’ll be living. So since then, I haven’t really been able to talk on the phone with him. He claims that he never has signal, so I should text him instead of call because he’ll for sure get the text when signals back up. He did tell me that it would be hard maintaining our relationship, but he said that he was willing. I haven’t seen him since almost a week ago, I haven’t gotten the chance to really talk to him since I seen him. I’m growing irritated that I can’t at least here from him. He’s constantly either training someone or riding with a manager being another reason he can’t talk. He told me he hasn’t even talked with his mom in a week. I really don’t know what to do, I love him to death, but this long distance is really beginning to eat me up. What should I do? I need advice from both truck driver and lady that has a successful relationship with a truck driver..

      • I’ve been calling him would probably be the best bet. Because most likely they wear those Bluetooth headsets and it’s easier to answer back and communicate with you rather than texting. I don’t know if he works in all different states or what but for as far as communication goes I strongly believe that there’s no reason why you should take a week or more to get back to you

    • My advice for a few of you gals is breath Hun. Enrollment for a new company is pretty stressful for the first 3 months. You don’t know his hours or what kind of trainer he is with. He might be staying silent and bottling stress because he might be on the verge of feeling raw enough to quit. I just spent a week away from home with only 3 phone calls and I have a damn kid but working 12+ hour days. I am so tired I have brain fog so even though I miss them I can’t hardly talk. Right now I’m a roadside flagger but I am going for my Class A.

  7. Dating a truck driver is the hardest task to do next to raising a kid! Trust and time are two things that you have to absolutely have to keep in mind at all times when dating a truck driver. I’ve been with my hard working truck driver for going on 3 years (September 1st), all 4 companies he was with (PAM, Taylor, Fresh Point foods, and EPES) and it hasn’t been as easy as a walk in the park but one things for certain, daily motivation and communication is definitely a must when dating a trucker, they’re gonna need every bit of your support and motivation they can get! I fell in love with a Trucker (not my ideal future) and I hadn’t looked anyone’s else way since 2014 so LOVE is definitely possible in the truck driving life!!!!

  8. It definitely is close to impossible to find and keep good friends as well as establish a relationship with a woman that either understands or is willing to understand the trucking lifestyle. Consider yourselves lucky/blessed if you are already in a decent relationship with someone that loves you, supports you, and is patient enough to understand what you go through over the road. For some of us that have been single for a very long time, and definitely not by choice dating is flat out impossible. At least where I currently reside no woman is interested in dating someone that drives a truck for a living. One can only be willing to go through life all alone every single day/week/month/year before giving up and vanishing off of the face of the earth forever, and I’m pretty much on my way there in the near future. If you have someone that you care about stay close to them and try to make the relationship work.

    • Hi my name is Doris, I met my husband he had drove for 16 years, I would go with him and then I got my cdl we drove team for 16 years. 2014 the Dr told him he had 3 days to leave he passed away September of 2014. He asked me to give up my cdl and I did. I know he is in heaven I have not met anyone he was younger than me. We had our fun time and bad but I thank God for him, I’m 66 ready for my new chapter. God bless all our truckers.

  12. I was marrived with a truck driver for 21 years and now I am divorcing him. I took care of the kids and the house and everything was on my shoulders. He was the worst human being I ever met. He is a gambler, a bisexual that sleeps with anybody including prostitutes, he is addicted to porn, he is a fake helping everyone but not his family, etc. we had days when we had no food on the table bc of his bad habbbits. I will never date a truck driver again. I promised myself that and to my kids. I was there being a good wife, cooking, cleaning, educate the kids and he is a deadbit dead that doesn’t care about his kids but he care about his mistresses kids.

  13. I have no idea what to expect, other than I expected more, I guess. I looked for advice on here, only to find a mixed bag of false hope, doubt and uncertainty. Google is a double-edged sword. I’ve been in a loving devoted relationship with a man who is a true entrepreneur, with many talents and always very enterprising. However, with so many responsibilities and not enough cash to maintain businesses, he had the idea of making quick cash driving crazy long distance routes. So, he’s made more money in a month than I made all last year. The downfalls are sporadic communication, fear of his safety, and feelings of loss/separation that I don’t think I can handle.. I know that this life is only temporary and things will pass, but we all have choices to. make. Yes, it’s good money, but is it worth the stress and anxiety it places on themselves and their loved ones? More power to the trucking couples that can ride the road together. It’s a very lonely life apart, not knowing when the next fleeting moment will be shared together.

    • Oh yay someone I can kinda relate to. I’m getting mixed messages with my trucker and at the moment I’m wondering if he’s brushing me off or if he’s just busy.. but.. I need more than one or two textes a day – which okay that has only been happening since he started his new job last week.. but I’m the type who mirrors and I don’t like to initiate textes, calls or whatever if he doesn’t meet me halfway. I feel desperate enough as it is waiting for his call when he says he going to call and he doesn’t always call, so.. I’m stumped. Might be one of those relationships that’ll fizzle out – preparing for it while at the same time.. gutted about it.

      • I totally know how you feel!! I adore my truck driver but going days without communication is so hard. I get uncertain because he is the sweetest most amazing man but then when he’s on the road communication is few and far between. I’m trying not to act “crazy” and “needy” but I get lonely and worry. He travels from Colorado to Wyoming, Idaho, New Mexico, Nebraska and more of those places so he says he doesn’t have service all the time. Does that seem legit?

        • Hi Laciey, I’m married to an OTR driver. I know when he is in certain places his cell service will be awful. I also know when he is picking up or delivering it’s not possible to talk to him. I have also gone on trips with my husband. Depending on the miles he logs, he can average a 10 hour driving day. OTR driving doesn’t give a driver a lot of personal time. A driver still needs time to unwind even though he lives out of his truck. My best advice is be patient.

        • I live in North Idaho. Service sucks butt. Outside big cities where you can’t call or text because people drive like dumb sh!ts you probably have 1-2 bars max. I have calls drop even with full bars and texts have been known to get lost until 3 days later even!!! It’s crazy!!!

      • Hello Annie
        I am just curious if your relationship with your trucker made it with all the time apart? Did you figure out a way to get more attention and communication from him? My trucker started work at his current job the same week yours did, way back when. I am just wondering how we can make it last. Thanks!

  14. I have a question, i have been dating this truck driver for 2 years, we had a miscarriage last year, and he has a 4 year old, he lives in A different state! He has recently stopped talking to me unless he is in the area around me! I am starting to feel like maybe he isn’t as serious as he was before we lost our baby or maybe he has someone else but when I ask him he always says he loves me and wouldn’t treat me any other way then he wants his daughter to be treated! So could he be distant bc the job he does and trying to manage his daughters needs work and me or could I just be stupid and not getting that he isn’t just with me?

  17. I met a truck driver online. He comes home every couple of weeks and we spend every minute together . Fortunately , I have a very flexible job. I learned he is still online talking to other women. It is painful for me, I spoke to him about it and he said he would remove his online profile, but he hasn’t. I have a very good job, own my home as well as a summer home. He has told me I am a good catch but he appears to be looking for something else. I think online dating is like that, people always think something better is only click away. He has lost my trust but I will continue to date him and spend his money iuntil something better comes along for me. He could ave had all of my love, I wish he wanted it..

  18. I think I have been played by a very loving handsome trucker, He would get an award to be honest because we talked so much during the day and night I am in shock and so are my kids and family. after a few months of very serious talks and dates when he was in town, Just gone for 9 days no phone service, no nothing! The most we have gone with no communication is 3 days and he even found his way to get reception just to call me and let me know he was ok. So why would my boyfriend not have phone reception for weeks and let his phone shut off by not paying a bill? doesn’t he have to eat, drink, gas up and wash up? wouldn’t there be phones he can use at truck stops or get a prepaid? I called his trucking company and they just said he is fine , phone is shut off. Wow! so 9 days no way of communicating? I just find this so hard to believe that 2018 there is NO WAY to get a hold of your loved ones, family or etc. Plus with no phone, does his job only communicate with CB radio then? if so, why would he contact me some other means instead of making me worry or just feeling abandoned. He missed a very important Dr visit and our anniversary with nothing from anyone. I guess if it were me, i would reach out and find a way to get my job, family or friends to get a message, Hell he even has my address to mail a letter, he never told me it would be this long and makes good money so not paying a phone bill makes no sense. why not just end it if he found someone else on the road? Why buy my daughter a car? why do anything if you were just going to run away? Sad thing is WE NEVER HAD A BAD CONVERSATION OR FIGHT–NEVER!

  26. I’ve been driving for a while now and it’s really hard to meet anyone. I’m 35 and dating sites are a joke nowadays. I try to keep running 7 days a week with no resets as to not have much down time to think about not having any kind of social life let alone love life. It’s hard on the road as a trucker not sure where people actually meet others while being a trucker…. but would definitely like to know.

  28. Looking for some advice…
    I recently met an amazing guy who is a long haul driver. I’m 47 and this is my first long distance relationship.

    We both are completely head over heels for each other! It’s like we were made for each other. We both are wanting to be with each for the long haul.

    He has been gone only 2 weeks now. I guess I’m getting a bit used to the knowing that I won’t see him for at least 4 more weeks or longer.

    We have had a few challenges by outside life events that have really tested our relationship. Thankfully we have grown even closer to each other working through things.

    For those of you who have gone through these relationships, how do you deal with seeing the love of your life only days every 4-6 weeks and sometimes longer?
    Like any relationship I expect challenges as any relationship would have, just different.

    Any advice anyone can give me to make this easier during the rough spots and to not loose hope when distance is gained, would be greatly appreciated.

    I Love my man so much and I really want us to work. How do I learn to live with him so deeply in my hear, but not in my arms?

    We text throughout the day, when he can
    We talk during the day 1-3 times
    Video chat
    Send pictures to each other
    Send Videos

    I don’t want him to start to forget me or vice versa…

    • It’s rough. At least he is receptive of pictures of you and you receptive of pictures of him. Spend as much time as you can when he is available.i met my TD over a year ago. Religion stands in the way. I trust things will change. Worse case we will be friends only. keep it spicy and interesting. Learn some of the dialogue, really find interest in his job and what it entails as well. You can make it work. Patience. Trust. Compromise and understanding.

  33. My Best Friend an I met 14 yrs ago this last week. I was married at the time if she stole my heart 9 years ago I got a divorce thought of pursuing her for more than just the best friend status but every time she had a boyfriend that would treat her wrong abused her sexually and control her she’s always come to me and tell me her problems but yet if I expressed any interest in being with her should put me in the friggen friend zone 3 years ago she talked me into moving to Minnesota end of the same town where she live so I did and her boyfriend at the time hated the big time but I watched her go between her boyfriend and her two ex-husbands I know her past and I feel deeply sorry for her and have tried to show her that I would be the better choice I am 20 years older than her and for some reason I stay around waiting for her hoping that someday soon before I kick the bucket she’ll figure it out. But now I want to start my own business and get out of driving semi for good and to do that I’ve got to move to northern Wisconsin back where I used to live but she doesn’t want me to leave order if I should just give her an ultimatum if you don’t want me to leave then be with me or if you want me move with me she has a beautiful awesome 13 year old daughter because she sold her oats and got pregnant by a dirty truck driver they gave her HPV I love them both as if they were mine she wondered why I don’t look at another woman that’s because I phone a beautiful woman I want to be with for the rest of my life I know you can’t force love just got to let it happen this last week she ended up getting a load up to Tacoma Washington and there’s a ex-boyfriend that lives up there and now she won’t answer your damn phone or even text me back and it’s driving me freaking nuts cuz I’m on a 34-hour restart ebbing Missouri I would love to talk to her text with her but I’m trying to show patience it’s driving me nuts ramp over

  36. I have been with my trucker for 2+ years. I knew from the start that he was a driver and that his job demanded him to be on the road for long periods of time. But somehow, we managed to have 2 babies. It’s hard at times raising 2 babies without him physically there but I manage. There’s timea also where me and babies will go with him on the road. I see what he goes through on the road, and to be honest, I give him and all truckers out there mad props for doing what you do. (Thank you) but it does take a real person (male/female) to be with someone who is a trucker. Long times away from each other. Like I was told, dont go rushing to find someone, let the right person go look for you and accept the working lifestyle you have. God bless you all.

  40. Hello…I’m sure many of you “guys” won’t like my post and some may be intrigued for the wrong reason..lol. I am on a lesbian dating site. On Oct 25th 2019 a female trucker put a profile up and I was very interested. I commented to her and she responded right away. We are both older ladies and we hit it off immediately. We clicked on so many levels and actually texted all night. She came across to me as being an incredible lady and we made plans to meet. But a couple of days later we lost contact with each other. So the purpose of me reaching out to you all is knowing that this is a huge network of guys and gals. Can you get the word out that I’m trying to reconnect? As we met in dating site personal contact information is usually slight at first. Here is what I know… Her name is Patty. She is an Owner/Operator out of Paducah KY. She has 3 trucks and 3 drivers including herself. She was on a 2 week run on the west coast. She is unique in that she is deaf and her other drivers are as well. I’m hoping this rings a bell with someone and knows of her. Please..help love out! I truly believe we had a spark of magic between us. My name is Rita..I’m from KY as well and you can email me at [email protected]…..Any help will be very appreciated!

  42. Eating Healthy is totally attainable just got to stock the truck at Walmart not Pilot. Exercise is easy also I have a couple dumbbells and a jump rope in my truck and exercise five days a week year round while averaging 140k miles a year. Relationships can work I got four kids and a wife it’s not the easiest part I miss most things but I provide a good life for them at home you just got to make the most with the time you get at home look for a company that gets you home weekly they are out there I’m home every week and still average 80k a year. Showering can be tough but I take five two gallon containers old laundry detergent containers and shower with them till it’s below fifty degree then I just got to make time to stop and take one during the day. Everyone can make excuses for why they fail at these things you just have to make reasons for being successful instead of the excuses.

  43. I’ve been only married for just shy of 6 months now and my husband is a truck driver. We have 2 little kids (a 3yr old and a 1yr old) and he left his one job because he wasnt home much and the job hes at now was supposed to make it to where he would still be able to do some runs but would be home ALOT more but instead hes been gone just as much as he was before. Due to me finding him on some web sites that he shouldn’t of ever been on (before we got married) the trust level is pretty low (still) and it’s not getting any better. I dont know what to do. I’ve been married for almost 6 months and I still dont feel like a married woman. I feel like a single mother and I’ve been debating leaving him and already getting a divorce because for one I’m lonely, trust is a huge issue (esp if he has to stay in a hotel) and plus it effects our younger children really bad. I dont know what to do or how to make things better so if anyone has any suggestions or ideas I’m all ears.

  44. Ive read alot of the comments. I was grandfathered into trucking. Im recently divorced(my exs idea) couple yrs ago. Ive no kids. And ive seen the scammers on the internet too(i tell them i want money too. I just dont ask people for it). so being out there. Some of you mentioned that going with it great. If that isnt an option. Then the texting. Video cam is a good option. But this article is about trust. Even without trucking thats an issue(my 11st ex of 2 cheated when i was a factory worker). So how to fix this? No secrets from each other. If my woman(if i had one) wanted to go throu my phone looking at pics and contacts and ask questions then i should have nothing to hide. And the same for everything i own.

  49. It will work. My wife and have been married for 29 years. When we met she knew what I did for a living. She traveled as well with her job. Sometimes it actually work out that we were in the same city at the same times. That was fun. The main thing that held us together is that we are both devout Christians. We both trusted each other to the max. Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of temptations out there, but you just remember what you have and how lucky you are to have someone that loves you no matter what. I’ve now been retired for about 6 yrs and we are living the life. We have a home in San Sebastian Spain and spend most of our time there. About two years ago my wife told me the thing that scared her the most was me getting in an accident and not coming home. She prayed for me every night. I guess in short a marriage or relationship can work. It takes work however.

  51. Hi what are the requirements for a truck driver to bring their spouse do they need a background check documentation any form of identification

    • Hi James, talk to your place of work. If I go with my husband I need my passport as his run takes him into the US and he requires a document from work that states I’m in the truck with him.

  53. I was with a truck driver for over a year. We were engaged and planning our future. He had a heart attack and passed away. I prefer truck drivers. Women are out there. Just have to keep looking. It isn’t easy for us to find a truck driver.

  54. I am dating a trucker and it is extremely difficult. He is also my best friend of twenty three years. I try to call or video chat with him when possible but for the most part I am the one holding things together at home. It does get really lonely sometimes but then I remember he is supporting his family and taking care of us the best way he can…. and that is what keeps me going. And when he does get home time it never feels like enough even though it’s three days. He’s out four weeks home three days…. my only complaint is there is never enough time to make up for what we missed

  55. Hi, hopefully someone sees this but I’m a current student in college in central Florida and I have always felt a special connection with truck drivers… perhaps it’s because I feel as lonely as they do. I love watching the big semi trucks travel along the turnpike, and I would love to keep someone company whether it be simple texting, calling, etc. – I’ll be there. I don’t feel comfortable putting my information on the web, but if you’d like to chat more email me at: [email protected] (: thank you

  56. I agree with everything in your post. If someone is going to chest, they will cheat whether they are around or on the road. My ex is a miserable person and he was home daily.

  57. I’ve been married eight years have two children under 18 my husband is a long-haul truck driver he got into this after we were married and said that it was only going to be short-term so that we can start our own business well that has turned into three years and it’s been a struggle financially but we’ve managed to still be in love and love each other very much so I assume but we’ve had problems in our relationship money-wise and he’s gotten mad at me and I’ve gotten mad at him but we’ve gotten over our bumpy roads together just recently I found that he was on a dating site and he was talking to 15 different women I asked him about it he said that he did it because he was mad at me and he thought that we were going to go for a divorce but that he never met up with any of them so I decided to give him a chance because I still love him and we decided to work on our relationship our downfall is that I feel that he doesn’t give us or give me as wife attention or show me appreciation I’ve been raising his son since he was five years old he is not my biological son he was in a prior relationship and he took custody of him and he’s been living with us full-time.i lster had a child with him and we have two children what bothers me is that my husband never acknowledges me and do anything nice for me since i been witj him I only want for him to remember my birthday or anniversary and Mother’s Day three important dates to me and I expect for him to show that he remembersme & appreciates me by actions but I’ve been with him for eight years and only received a 1 anniversary dinner date and 2 sets of Roses for mind you he got mad at me years ago for lying to him about money and he threw his wedding ring out in dirt road so he has not worn a wedding ring years now so when he comes to visit and sees us once a month for three to seven days at. Time it bothers me if he dont want to be married thats ok i have told him many times but he but dont use me because i feel like a bootu call & babysitter to him. I feel that there’s a lot of trust issues and it’s hard for me to trust him because he only exist 10% of the time and he thinks that because he pays the bills and i stay home n am a great wife i do admit i over spend money at Walmart lol but thats the only flaw i have i cook clean and have all in line at home like a wife should but thats my only flaw that he claims he doesnt like about me.but when I found out he was speaking to random women and random cities he was in from a dating site he justified his wrong with being mad at me. When he is home he don’t spend time with me n kids he’comes home & wants to lay in bed and go to sleep and rest and then when he’s on the road he’s at stopping at places lakes camping with friends visiting friends & family he stops at bars he stops at restaurants he basically goes on the road and has fun seems like the way I’m confused as to whether he still loves me or that’s just his way of saying that our relationship is over but he has problems communicating to me and when he gets upset the first thing that he says is he wants a divorce I’m confused I don’t know if he still wants to be in this relationship anyone kindly give me your opinion on what i should do?

  61. On 11/11/20 I answered someone who sent me a Good morning message on an online dating site. I had been looking for 2 years without any success. This guy ended up being a trucker, like my husband (RIP) had been for 5 years, so I knew what to expect.
    On Christmas day we fully committed to an exclusive relationship. Sometimes we forget that we just met, because it feels like we’e been together for a decade. I get to see him every other week or so, we talk 2-5 times a day on text, phone or video chat, depending on his reception. It’s up to him to contact me every day, because I don’t always now when he gets to sleep and when he’s working. That makes it a little difficult, because sometimes I just want to tell him something, but don’t want to wake him with the phone chime if he is still asleep. Kind of kills the spontaneity…
    He treats me better than any man I’ve known. When he’s home, the phone stays in the truck, or on silent in a drawer. He cooks for me and cleans up after himself.
    We’re hoping to build a business where he can stay closer to the home front within a year or two.
    I am a month short of 65, he’s 66. We met just 2 months ago. 🙂
    What I am saying to all you truckers out there who think they can’t meet anyone – don’t give up. There are good people out there, and you just have to be patient to meet yours. It took me 2 years and I don’t know how many failed meet and greets. But I never gave up. I’d take a breather for a week, not visit the sites … and then when I know I had a bunch of messages, I’d sign back on.
    My trucker came out of nowhere. I ran him through the ringer of mistrust, I asked him 20 questions forward and backwards … he never lost his cool, he just asked if we can do the inquisition over the phone, texting was tedious. LOL … and we have not stopped talking since.
    Good luck, good buddies.

  62. I started a relationship with a truckdriver 3 months ago I cant ask for a better man then him. he is everything I always wanted honestly he is way older then I’m but I don’t care about that he took my daughter as his own and she loves him. I have exercise what he goes through on a daily bases and got to say I completely understand what he goes though yes he does have some trust issues but I understand them he been cheated on by a ex while he was gone. He does think that I would do it to I cant I love him a little to much the way he love us and wants our family to grow I can truly say he the one. I love my trucker and miss him most of all I always call him every day and wake with him even if its a 3 in the morning we have our coffee then he off I give him a kiss and say I love you.

  67. My husband of over a year been together for almost 7. He has been a truck driver since he was 22. When I got with him he was doing in home deliveries we worked together ad were friends for years. We got together after being friends. I trust him he trusts me we are extremely happy together. We are each others soulmates and we are best friends. Just bc someone is a truck driver doesn’t mean it’s hard to get/find a good relationship. If you want life to be good it will be good even though there’s bumps in the road. I stay home while he is out Sun through Thursday

  69. I miss this so much. My estranged husband was an OTR truck driver. I am liking my new job at Wal-Mart as a cashier but I really miss the life I had with him and being able to go on the road at times. He will not leave the drugs alone though. He lost his CDL because he had failed a drug test for Western Express at orientation in 2016. I’m not sure if he actually can’t go back on the road again. He may not be able to get his CDL back anytime. Either way I miss this life so much. Breaks my heart
