Question 1 of 25

How will you cope with being on the road, away from your family?

Staying involved with your family while away from home is key to beating the potential loneliness of the trucker lifestyle. Tell the interviewer that you plan to stay involved with your family while you are away, and share which methods you will use to keep in touch.

Today's technology makes being away from family for long periods much more comfortable than in years past. You might video chat with your family when you are on break, or maybe you send text messages from time to time. With your smartphone, your spouse may send you pictures from home during the day to keep you in the loop on what your family is doing. You might set a goal to send an encouraging message to your spouse each day.
