My husband drives trucks for a living great money but he can be away for weeks at a time.
That's dedication! Commercial trucks are very large and powerful and and be configured to mount specialized equipment, like fire trucks and concrete mixers. I'm sure you miss him when he's gone! 
Yes very much and his truck is large also he delivers goods all the way to Virginia at times and we live in Florida.
I also live in Florida! Truck drivers provide essential services to industrialized societies by transporting goods and materials from manufacturing plants to retail and distribution centers.
Manufacturing Plants is one of his big stops for when he is delivering truck orders he goes to Georgia-Pacific Corporation I like that stop because he is back home in no time.
It's a tough job! I know they are responsible for inspecting their vehicles for mechanical issues and anything related to safety issues. Do you ever travel with him? 
No I don't travel with him because I am home with the little ones and yes the inspection is the most important part because anything can happen on that road.

A truck or lorry is a motor vehicle designed to transport cargo. Trucks vary greatly in size, power, and configuration; smaller varieties may be mechanically similar to some automobiles.

these materials are carried in larger amounts on very specialized, separate units like hose trucks, powder trucks, carbon dioxide extinguishing trucks etc. Specialized Airport Crash Tenders are used at airports to carry larger amounts of water and foaming agents.
An Australian Water Tender can range from a standard fire engine, with a larger-than-usual capacity (usually called a tanker), to a Water Tender equipped with specialty equipment such as fixed monitors and long-throw foam nozzles (usually called a Bulk Water Carrier). Several
