Truck driver’s daughters want more time with dad

Brad Wood with two daughters at park

Brad Wood enjoys spending time at the dog park with his daughters, Hannah and Amanda.

“I’ve been driving a truck since 1997. When I was running chemicals it was out, unload and come right back. Now I haul crude oil in the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma, and I’m usually gone two to three weeks at a time. That’s the toughest part. It provides for our family, but I’m at the point now where I don’t like being away from home.”

What do you miss most when your dad is on the road?
(Left) “I can’t hug him and say goodnight.”
(Right) “When I get a bad grade on my spelling test and he’s home, he always tells me, ‘You’ll get it next time.’”
