So Shane and I started talking about me getting my CDL about 2 months ago. I was complaining about being overworked, under payed, no jobs in my field out there and jokingly I said, "I should get my CDL and we could team up and make a whole lot more money." He laughed it off. Then a couple of weeks later he told me about how he had being thinking more about it and if it were feasible to do. He started researching it by asking team husband/wife drivers about their experiences and how they make everything work. He then approached me about actually doing it. So we decided to try it.
This wasn't a decision that we took lightly. We had to think about the kids and what is going to be best in the long run for them. They are entering adulthood and we didn't want to enter elderly-hood with debt that they will have to pay off. We wanted it possible that we can retire at a decent age with money in our savings, debts payed off, and a future for our children and grandchildren. I will be staying at my other job for "as needed" so if this is working out or I am in town with nothing to do than I can still be on their payroll.
Jess is going to be busy with college and Aaron will be kept busy with his activities when we are working. We already have several family members who are willing to help him stay busy and safe. Also, if he wants to, we can take him with us when we know we will be gone for more than a couple of days.
Counting down to training...25 more days.
