I luv my trucker wife Brandy for being the woman behind the wheel supporting her family while I am home being Mr. Mom taking care of our 15-year-old son. Brandy and I used to truck together for 10 years but back in 2009 I became disabled and had to come off the road, and Brandy picked up the reins and just kept on trucking up and down the road solo. I am so proud of her for being the woman she is and teaching other women they they too can do a so-called man’s job!!
