Sometimes the logistics of getting a truck driver home are a freaking joke. There really is never a straight forward answer or way to go about it.
We spend more time trying to figure out when he will come home .. how he will get here .. can we afford the empty miles .. the extra fuel .. the time missed driving .. you name it ..sometimes that conversation is days long. Days of figuring out miles and time and does he have enough hours and how will it hit our pay at the end. It's exhausting but it's the life we choose so we deal with it. Doesn't make it any easier but it is what it is and it always seems to work out in the end somehow someway.
This new company is trying to get Billy home to get all of his stuff so that he will feel better being in the truck. Once he has his pillow and blankets and laptop and clothes and all of his other little necessities it will be much easier for him. Well the only thing they had to offer him was to drive over 400 miles home empty and not paid so we are going to meet in the middle. I will load his stuff up and drive and meet him. We will spend a little bit of time together and maybe go out to eat somewhere and then say our goodbyes until his next home time.
