Home three nights a week and the rest of it spent driving

Looking for
a dynamic that runs in my head while I am out on the road
Experience
Twelve years, three dynamics, the best of them run at a distance.
Around
out towards Lanarkshire, Glasgow
I drive for a living and I am in the cab four nights out of seven. Home Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Six years of that now, and there is no other version of the job that pays anything like the same.
Forty five, submissive, out towards Lanarkshire, twelve years in. Divorced, grown up family, a dog that lives with my sister half the time.
What works for me is something that runs in my head while I am out on the road. Rules I keep. A report at the end of a shift. Small things that have to be done a particular way and get checked when I am back. I had one dynamic like that and it was the best two years of the lot, and it never needed us in the same room more than once a fortnight.
I am plain spoken, I do not do the vocabulary, and I will not be calling anybody anything I would be embarrassed to say out loud in a lay by.
Not looking for anything that needs me on a weekday evening. Not looking for somebody who wants to talk all day, because I am driving. Not looking for a person who reads four nights away as an excuse, since I will happily tell you which motorway I am sitting on.
