Trucking and the single life

Dec 15, 2009

Dear Carolyn,
It sucks to be single over the holidays. I know some guys talk about a girl in every town but the life of a single trucker is a lonely one. I don’t know how to even begin trying to get a date with a nice girl. Heh heh, I said “nice” girl.
Kurt

Dear Kurt,
Funny you should mention it. I’m looking for stories about the good, bad and ugly of the single life of truck drivers. Anyone out there want to share your dating tips with Kurt and all the rest of the truckers who write to me asking how to meet someone?
Just say’n
Carolyn
