A trucker's wife is a very special person. We keep the home running smoothly while our men are away. Some of us have children we are raising, grass we are mowing, dryers we are fixing. We know how it feels when our man drives away and when he returns. I hope that you will find comfort and solace in the fact that you are not alone.

Whether you are a wife, girlfriend or significant other, you are welcome here; to share, to learn and to find a warm place in your day where other's know what you are going through. Wives of retired truckers, those of you who are new to this life and everyone in between will find trucking resources, tips, poems, stories, articles, thoughts and more here at ATW.

We have a wonderful support community for trucker wives and girlfriends. Our members are from all over the globe. We have an annual convention where we meet face to face for fun, education and of course many hugs! Photos from the 2006 convention here.

Don't forget to check out the Just for Fun section. We have Free E-cards, wallpaper and more fun stuff!

Please join in and help build this site. Your input is invaluable! Please don't hesitate to send in anything that you would like to see here. Do you have a story to tell, poems to share? My door is always open to allow you to share with everyone.

A Truckers Wife Convention 2007 was a huge success.
More information for 2008 sponsorship will be posted later this summer.

Good things really do come in threes!

Truckers helping truckers: UTDA changing the world one trucker at a time

When truck driver Robert Griffith spoke to a reporter from the Associated Press he thought he was just sharing information about the reality of an independent truckers life on the road. “I’d heard that this woman was out there trying to help out truck drivers.

Griffith thought that by sharing his story he could make a difference in the image of truck drivers in the media. “I want to change the image - show people that truck drivers are needed.” He never imagined that by sharing his story he would become part of an even bigger one.
