My boyfriend wants to become a truck driver but before he can do it locally they make you do long haul trucking out on the road first to get 1-2 years experience. I've heard about hookers preying on these guys out on the road for years. And I've heard that most truckers do it at some point because they're away from home up to 3 weeks at a time, they're bored, and the opportunity is always there and the chance they'll get caught cheating by a wife/girlfriend is impossible because the woman left at home is never quite sure where they are or what they are doing at any given time, unlike a guy with a regular, local job. I constantly try to give him ideas for other jobs, but he won't even consider them and just says this is the only way for him to make good money without going to school. (He recently tried to go back and get his GED, but got frustrated over the math and quit after 1-1/2 months.) He is 35 and wants to finally get started in a real career.
