Email Carolyn at [email protected]HomeHolidays and the single lifeDear Carolyn, I’ve been divorced for 20 years and am happily single. The life of a long-haul trucker is hard on relationships and families. While I have met great gals over the years, I’ve been upfront with my lack of interest in anything permanent. Mostly, they seem okay with the idea but in the end, […]November 30, 2009HomeNo hiding in the closet!Dear Carolyn, Ive got one for you. I am an attractive, small, gay female driver/mover. Seventy-five percent of the males out here just love me until the dreaded “come on ” starts and I respond appropiately that Im certainly not interested! Some are very sweet and politely give up. However, most start the whole “gay […]November 17, 2009HomeGo or Stay?Dear Carolyn, I want to end my relationship with my girlfriend but I can’t seem to get it done. Every time I bring up my dissatisfaction with our relationship, she talks me down from the ledge. I agree that we are perfectly compatible, have the same values and interests and generally get along well. I […]November 3, 2009HomeGreen-eyed monsterDear Carolyn, My husband is driving me crazy with his controlling, jealous behavior. He’s always snooping through my cell phone calls and reading my text messages. I don’t have anything to hide and have never given him reason to not trust me. How can I get him to stop snooping? I’m at the end of […]November 1, 2009HomeShould I "friend" her?Dear Carolyn, Thirty years ago I broke up with my high school girl friend an hour before our senior prom. I left for the army a few weeks later and eventually settled into the life of a long haul trucker. We happen to live in the same general area now even though I’ve never run […]October 30, 2009HomeLooking for a team driver?Dear Carolyn, Where are all the normal, fun, smart women? Because I can tell you one thing, they are not in the trucking industry. I’m not using my real name because I’d be in big trouble for saying this. But it’s true. I’ve tried out at least 6 partners to team drive with and they […]October 6, 2009HomeWill he ever marry me?Dear Carolyn,My boyfriend and I are having a few problems. The main one is that he’s not divorced yet from his wife. He’s a long-haul trucker and she’s a stay-at-home mom. She handles all the business side of trucking including paying the bills, taxes and fees. They have both agreed to a divorce but it’s […]September 9, 2009HomeLove stinks!Dear Carolyn, I’m an older fellow and I’ve been dating a very nice woman for about 6 years now. Unfortunately, we have a problem. She doesn’t care to bathe as often as I’d like for her to. She emits an awful odor and refuses to do anything about it. It’s really starting to turn me […]August 24, 2009HomeToilet seat downDear Carolyn, In response to Corky; the toilet seat has little to do with the debate itself. I’m a guy who thinkss it’s just good manners to leave the toilet seat down for the next lady. My mother explained to me the woman’s point of view:by leaving the toilet seat down, you are showing love […]August 12, 2009HomeWho gets the stuff?Dear Carolyn, My boyfriend and I finally broke up for good this time. It was the right thing to do and while I would not call us “friends” I will say that we wish the best for the other. He’s a long haul trucker and as you know, he’s gone all the time. My problem […]August 5, 2009Previous PagePage 20 of 23Next PageTop StoriesRegulationsNew Mexico releases video of Harjinder Singh passing an inspection in EnglishHarjinder Singh, the driver in the triple-fatal Florida turnpike crash, successfully passed an inspection in English in New Mexico, body cam footage reveals.Trucker of the YearCarving a niche in fresh meat, multistop delivery: Trucker of the MonthRegulationsDOT threatens funding for California, Washington, New Mexico over lax ELP enforcementRegulationsCalifornia’s ‘smog check’ for out-of-state trucks: EPA proposes to disapproveFeatured SponsorBlueParrott S650-XT Bluetooth Headset
