This person, whether male or female, is under a great deal of stress to succeed in an industry where most fail. In many cases, the new driver is the breadwinner of the family. And for you single drivers out there, I can also assure you that meeting someone on the road is quite possible.
As both a driver and a former fiancee of an army infantryman who was constantly deployed, I understand the roles of both partners. It is a naturally confusing time to have a significant other quickly removed from your daily routines, however, it can be dealt with if both people compromise and provide some understanding and compassion for the other person's needs. Occasionally, we get comments from women asking how to help their men adjust, and once in a while we get the take charge woman who wants to catapult her man's career. Some single drivers ask if it is possible to meet someone on the road and make it work. A major concern for the new drivers on the forum is how to deal with the extended time away from home.
