Truckers get a bad rep as it is. You already have that going against you. Watched my dad go through the same thing before he found his new wife of 7 yrs now.
First, (no offense) but start to spell women, correctly. It shows respect to the ladies on here. Maybe trim up your beard, get rid of the 5o'clock shadow, get a nice clean (dress/polo/anything with a collar) shirt, and take a new pic. This shows you take care of yourself.
Another thing..lots of gals on here get TONS of emails everyday. Most of them are just junk-garbage emails, so they hit the "delete" button pretty heavy. Keep up the good fight, and dont stop trying.
Good luck to you on here!..

I think many women worry that a truck driver has a gal in every city. Those that don't may not like the fact that you are away for so long. Many people want a relationship with someone they can spend time with live and in person on a regular basis. JMO

My only reason is that I assume they would be gone too much. I want to be able to lay down (most) every night with the person I'm with. A local driver that comes home every night would be okay with me.

Speaking as a fellow professional truck driver myself, I have to disagree entirely with that whole comment.
A: "most truck drivers" who are "just looking for a tight squeeze" aren't going to go through the hassle of setting up an account on this, or any dating site. There are plenty of places all across the country that offer "a tight squeeze", at least for a price.
And B: the whole "truck drivers picking up hitch-hikers on the side of the road" is nothing more than a myth glorified by movies, tv, and the Penthouse Forum. Fact of the matter is that, at least since I first got into this business, over 8 years ago, it has been illegal even to pick up any hitch-hikers for any reason.
With that being said, I think it is just as absurd for people to say that about truck drivers as it is for people to say that all black people eat chicken and waffles or that all indians are alcoholics. It's just plain ludicrous.
Truth be told, we're just as human as everyone else. We are just as in need of love, friendship, and companionship as everyone else.

I have lived the nightmare that give truck drivers a bad rep. I met my now ex hubby in church, of all places. He is the son of a retired minister. We were together for almost 3 years, spent 18 months married and then I find out, quite by accident, that he had 3 other women he was sleeping with. I got a phone call from his mistress in VA. Apparently, she got my house number off a cell phone I never knew he had. Her and I talked for almost an hour - not the nasty, drag out phone fight, just talked. She never knew he had a wife, let alone 3 kids (she did NOT want a guy w/ kids, and had none of her own). So, we got to wondering what else he was hiding, so she got the phone numbers off the non-existant cell and started making calls. She found another woman just off I70(?), just into Ohio, and another living in Chicago. Yes, I got calls from both of them as well. Needless to say when he came home from that trip (his normal run to chicago and back, w/ stop in VA), his things were packed and waiting for him. I had filed for the divorce the day before his return, especially after I found all the porn on my computer - the one my then teen daughter used for homework. GOD--if she had opened the wrong file!!
Yes, he was an OTR driver, gone for 4 days, home for 3. That was in 2000-2003. He has since re-married, and I would bet money that he is still cheating. I don't dwell on it cuz it's not my problem anymore. I am glad him and I didn't have kids together! I did ask him why he would cheat on me like that, and his reply was (God's honest truth) that he needed it when he needed it, and since he had a vasectomy, he never thought he would get caught.
This is why I do not date trucker drivers, as much as I like big rigs. It just brings back old memories. I am not sure I could trust an OTR driver again. Sorry, guys.

Well, women of any quality generally don't value absentee relationships and usually appreciate men who can communicate with more skill than a grade school adolescent, but I'd never heard of a truck stop bunny that didn't like hopping from cab to cab!

To play devil's advocate, there are those women who would LOVE to marry trucker cuz he is absent working to keep them, and all the while they are able to cheat on you.

I am a truck driver. I even quit for three years because of the reputation. Thats ok if they dont want to date a truck driver, I have no problem moving on to my goals alone. I train drivers for a living, I really dont have time for BS n games. The problem is that they are not willing to put in the time to find out. They think there alone, ive been cheated on in my own home even when I was at home. Its all about the type of person they are, it doesnt change anything if your home or not. I couldnt find a job in three months do you really think I should move forward, or stay in a bad situation and not even live check to check. No im going to work.

Ive got four years left till im done with this truck. I am self sufficient, and a hard worker. I even moved to Amarillo so I could do what most other truck drivers cant. Ive been off work 8 days in 2.5 weeks. Which is way too much time off for this kind of business. But I cant get ahead if I dont work.

My experience chatting with trucker's is they are on here an awful lot and want you to be available to them way too much. I am on the go, working, from 6 am --7:30 pm. And the few hours I have left I don't wish to be obligated to be on phone with someone.
Been single a very long time and don't like reporting my every day activities to someone just "to talk".
On the other hand, I wouldn't mind being in a relationship with someone who is not home much..I don't need money, but a good companion who can support me with decisions would be wonderful.

Dude you should expect that maybe worse. Men and women truck driver's won't be home for dinner for one. For another the male proceeds to get lonely as a result of number one and looks for "outside source's" shall we say. So it's not becuase, we are stuck up it's your proffesional choice that has you by the horns (to put it politely).

I have been around truck drivers for most of my adult life and I personally don't have a problem with them or feel they have a bed rep. Some, and I repeat some, are the most respectable, polite, gentlemen I have ever been around, others ? not so much, but you will find that in every profession.
True, some of them cheat but I think those men would probably cheat regardless their job, it's not the truck that causes it, it is the man. I also know truck drivers that while they were out busting their arses to make a good home for their wives and kids it was the woman that was running around screwing anything that moved.
I do feel marriage is hard enough as it is and it takes two people to make it work and being with a truck driver you have to have even more trust and communication.
I have a great respect for truck drivers and the women that stand by them, as the woman it gets lonely and it seems when you need them they are 2000 miles away and I am not just speaking in terms of sex, but other things that go wrong around the house, but it is just as hard on them not being here to see their kids grow or to hold the one he loves when he wants or to kiss her goodnight or to have home cooked meals..... jmo

When the car looks like the dime.
I was a driver for a little while when I was laid off... when I left, my ex hooked up with someone else. We were together for 9 years. I wasn't home enough for her... all while I was trying my hardest to support her. Funny thing is, we both agreed that me driving would only be for a short time until construction picked up again. It was just something I had to do to pay the bills. I lost everything I had that meant anything to me because of that job. I regret ever going over the road.
As for my ex- F her. I hope she has babies that come out sideways.

I can only speak personally, I think part of the reason that some ladies don't date OTR drivers is lack of trust.... if you can not trust your mate to be faithful then why are you in the relationship??? I know for a fact that there are plenty of people that go home every night and yet still find time to cheat.... I'm not sure why drivers have a issue with finding a good mate perhaps its the hours that your available to chat, time away from home what I do know is that it takes a strong secure lady/man to be in a relationship with someone that is gone so much.....
I know that I would like to be in a relationship with a driver.... please be safe

It is very hard to find a girl around my age group that accepts the fact I drive a truck. Not all truckers are creepy, nasty people....it's just a profession that some prefer to do. I did solo over the road for 6 months, but found a local job where I'm home daily. Even being home all the time it's still very hard to find someone in my opinion.

I doubt very much that this has anything to do with your profession, given that there's a whole 10+ page thread over in one of the main forums about why women on here are so "stuck up" in general.
Bottom line is that it just doesn't make sense to lament the people who aren't interested in talking to you--whatever their reasons, they're not the women you're going to connect with, so why not move on rather than trying to sort out (possibly imagined) issues with the ones who are already out of the running?

OP, perhaps you should post in "profile reviews"
whining about people not wanting to date a trucker is a lazy man's way out of not creating a profile that stands out and sells yourself ... there's so many men on here with profiles that are generic and bland like yours ...
i HAVE dated truckers ... my two best friends are truckers ... it takes the right person to put up with that, so don't whine about not finding lots of girls to date ... in fact, they're doing you a service because you're not wasting your time weeding thru a bunch of girls that just want a free meal and a night out ... i'd count that as a plus ...
i don't know if you drive for a company, or are independent, but one of the things that made one of my relationships easier, is we discussed a compromise that he would only take certain routes that would allow him to be in town so many nights a week ... i don't know if that's an option for you, but if it is, that may be something to mention ...

Alright, I understand this may get taken out of context, but oh well.
I have to ask each of you who claim failure in love due to the reputation of a profession...what are you doing wrong? Are you expecting failure and in doing so, sabotaging your own potential?
If a guy/gal being deployed to the mmideast for 18 months can find love, every other profession can.

So far I've found that more women are more often curious about trucking than they are appalled. Most have approached me. In that I've been lucky.
Appearance helps. I have almost exclusively packed Hawaiian/Bowling shirts and totally avoid wearing any clothing sold at a truck stop. When I'm driving a truck, which I've tried to avoid whenever possible, I try not to look like a trucker. Just like a career military man should avoid looking like an action figure when concealing his actions, I try to set myself apart from the 300lb Bubbas, the whiney Russians in their track suits, or the smooth-gaming alpha male types in loud baseball caps and rock band t-shirts. That, and my profile is deliberately wordy, heavy, and sentimental.
There is a culture out here, there is humanity to be cultivated, but ultimately we sacrifice that meaningful human connection for our jobs because no one wants a part-time boy toy who isn't around often enough to rank as high as 'boyfriend'. Boyfriends need to be present and accountable, and boy toys need to be able to come when booty-called. We can do neither when we have no idea where we're going to be three days from now.
All I can offer is that you approach with softness and subtlety with the mentality of a coffee date with an old friend, never call anyone by a name they haven't offered you unless it's 'Miss' or 'Ma'am', and be patient.

Seriously speaking, the qualities that truck drivers possess could be very beneficial to relationships.. For example, it takes lots of focus and attn to drive safely for so long.. What if all of that was applied to their partner.. Also, drivers must be able to read signals... They cannot always see other drivers so they must interpret and calculate actions before they happen.. Another great quality to use in a relationship.... Lastly, truck drivers must be responsible .. The cargo they haul if often not their own..therefore they must have some sense of responsibility.and care...

Dude, take some of the ones I can't squeeze in, please. I'm an O/O and I make sure I'm in town every Saturday and Sunday. Maybe you need to provide that level of predictability. Also, the other guy is right. Shave, wear a shirt with a collar, etc. Most women are shocked to find out I drive a truck. They say I don't look like one. Guess what? You look like you could be a truck driver. Change that first.
Also, of course most of the stereotypes are wrong, but women are(by and large) idiots. At the end of the day, the less you look like a truck driver, the less they'll assume you're like the stereotypical truck driver. And you wouldn't date a woman who looked like a truck driver, either, would you?

OmG, dude!! The first thing you say in your profile is your a truck driver. What you do doesn't define who you are. Tell them something about WHO you are, not WHAT you are.
And two of your interests are hookups and sex. I can't imagine why you're having difficulties. Smh.

Agreed.
Here's a little 'Bi-Eye for the Trucker Guy':
It's the presentation that's getting to me.
You look sick or depressed in every picture. The fat in your cheeks pulls down the corners of your mouth. You'll need to consciously widen your mouth and smile. One thing a round face does well is an open-mouth half-circle smile. Make sure your tongue is clean, that hat is gone, and any clothing related to beating people up for money is elsewhere before you photograph that.
Lose the hat and the UFC gear, put it in interests, but keep it out of the wardrobe. Dress like the professional that you are. Think driver as in 'Transporter' not driver as in 'Over the Top'. UFC gear is associated with those pushy alpha-male types. It's judgmental, but it's also a matter of first impressions.
Your basic photography applies as well. I'm tired of seeing the bathroom mirror shot where you can barely make out a silhouette of a person holding a phone. Set the delay on your camera app, stare carefully into the center of the lens, and take pictures that don't show your phone or you outstretched arm. If someone else can take the pictures - perfect.
You need to be the same size in every picture if possible. If your face dominates your main profile pic, then any body shots need the size of your head in that main pic.
Too much light is just enough for a cellphone camera, provided you don't use the flash. Avoid the flash like a lot lizard. I swear that thing is only good for still life and taking well-lit color-corrected pictures of people watery-eyed and squinting.
Your interests CANNOT mention anything sexual. You need to at least appear to have motivations that run deeper than primal comforts. It's assumed that's part of your intentions but getting there is built on subtlety and class and, y'know, expressing an interest in a person's character foremost. Sex should not be a motivation for your dating, it should be a comfort you ate willing to provide given a certain amount of trust. You have to read pretty deep into my bio to get even the slightest hint that I'm bisexual, because I generally don't want to bring it up or mention it outright unless I'm making a point lest I be counted among the hyper-sexualized idiots introducing themselves with a picture of their junk or being seen as the stereotype Bi who wants to sleep with everyone they meet. Lose the 'hookups' and 'sex' as keyword interests.
Your bio needs to written with the care and diction of a term paper or a resume. If in being read aloud it sounds like you don't natively speak English, you'll come off as a hillbilly or an airhead, and given your figure, you writing style draws mental images of you walking around with your mouth hanging open. If your messaging had the same problems, I would completely understand why you're being shot down
I'm sure there is a real and passionate person behind the picture and the paragraph, but that profile has to show it in order for you to get close enough to anyone to prove that.

Nothing against honest guys, but i would never date a truck driver. The " Lot Lizards" makes it difficult for the men to be true. I understand that they work in the truck stop dinners and will knock on the windows of the truckers to make a sex deal. It is too dangerous out there and I will never take the gamble with my life.

99% of truckstops no longer have lot lizards. Your more to find women who will be with any man in bars and your home towns. The old myths you hear are very few.
Truck stops have cleaned themselves up. I run a truckstop and it is clean and you will not find lot lizards ar even x-rated magazines or videos. I have met more women on here wanting a one night stand than any where else. So get past the old wives tales.

I have a few Truck Driver friends who say the same thing. Well i think personally its because Truck Drivers are more into their job then a relationship. I have a good friend of 15yrs who does not understand that by being on the road 6 days out of 7 you can not focus on a relationship. I mean if you are on the road 3-4 days out of the week and home some to spend time with their family or gf that is a different story. But most work to many hours

I don't think that it is the job the man has, but how much money he can make for her to spend. Women are way more shallow than they admit to, he always needs to be over six foot, great job, firm athletic body, and hung like a Tijuana mule. After all that she would not be faithful anyway, so why worry about it.... just enjoy life and get a piece when you can and hit the road.

It's not that women don't like truck drivers because love is where you find it. Take me for instance, all of my life I heard truck drivers are nasty, cheaters...I always told myself that I would NEVER date a trucker! Up until about 5 months ago I met an OTR driver online and fell so deeply in love with him. He was charming, attentive, provided towards my every need. He would get upset and irritated if I spoke my opinion on things but I blew it off as he was on the road all the time and stressed. Whenever I didn't answer my phone he would get upset and say things like "I'm out here building our future and you can't answer your phone! Anything could have happened to me." We got past that but every little thing upset him. I was/am so in love with him I shook it off and looked towards our future together. I had no reason to suspect he would ever cheat or betray me. He was SOOOOO attentive even while he spent weeks at a time on the road. Well about two weeks ago, we had our usual conversation and we told each other "talk to you later. I love you". I texted him I miss you later that day. He responded back he missed me too. 3 hours later I tried to call and his cell was changed, email deleted! My first thought-he lost his phone. I did my detective work with the tools I had and found out he was in his home state overnight. A few days later I discovered he sent a bouquet to this woman. I looked her up and sure enough he left me for her! just like that! so see it's things like that that makes a person hesitant. Would I ever date another driver? NO! It's bad enough when your man has access to women near home but to be able to possibly have contact with women in various states is scary and who wants the heartbreak?

This happens to other people too. Not just because he was a truck driver. There is more going on with both sexes than most people realize. You should see all the people I run off at night who are married to someone and using the truckstop to park and play. Had many a women offer me what ever I wanted so I would not tell her husband and men offer money not to tell. Its not the job its the people themseves that play.

I am an OTR driver for 30 years. All you have to do to get your answer is sit in a truck stop and listen to the cb. That is how everyone perceives us. And the new generation of drivers is only making things worse. Thankfully, I will be retiring in just a few years. In this day and age, we have to try harder to prove we are sincere. It can be done. But, you have to prove the steretypes wrong. There are alot of nuts out there. You cannot blame ladies for how they look at us. Just do what you can to prove yourself. You are not alone. Good luck to you.

I never understood cheating period. If one person doesn't make someone happy respectfully end the relationship through clear communication before starting another relationship.

I met one and all he wanted was sex...nothing more. Truck drivets have a bad rep...and it is very hard to believe anything they say.
Is his name Walter he is Russian? and lives in Lyman South Carolina?

I think you hit the nail on the head...
We women are just all stuck up and don't want to meet a nice guy. 
Why the heck would you include that in your question? I was happily married to a trucker (died of cancer). We were both faithful ... and heck, it was a whole lot easier than when he was in the Navy. I actually was looking forward to the days when the kids would be out of the house and I could ride or even get my license and team drive with him. I'm too old for you but I can guarantee that even if I was interested in truckers, your general blanket statement of about us all being stuck up would have ended any interest in its tracks.
