That all depends on the company that you work for, my other half has just gone through his class 2 and then Class 1, and the companies that he is chatting to are looking to offer him casual days (so he doesn't have to give his regular job up) and the pay they are paying their drivers is pretty good.
This is for day runs, he aims in the future to do it full time and do weeks out.
We are aware that it is going to impact on the time together, but, if we don't see that much of each other, then we won't fall out as much!
Believe me it can put a terrible strain on a relationship. I know of many drivers who have been divorced because of the highly unsocial hours. Time apart can mean drift apart...
I end up doing the vast majority of childcare etc. I am not complaining and luckily we have kept strong, but it has been very testing at times.
I wish you both a happy future together.
