"Mothers who work on Mother's Day." ... "Michaela Ells likes to go on long drives with her husband. Nothing unusual for many women. But when the distance is 3,000 miles, it's not your average Sunday drive." ... "Mrs. Ells is a truck driver from Bellows Falls, Vt. [Vermont] She and her husband, Bill, haul everything from brush bristles to maple syrup. They met at truck-driving school, after one instructor complained: "I can't get her to shift right. I give up. You try." So Mr. Ells did. They hit it off and soon married. Now they are one of only a handful of husband-wife, long-haul trucker couples in the United States." ... "What sets this couple apart is that they sometimes take Morgan, their 4-1/2-year-old daughter, along." ... "Mother's Day isn't a big deal to Ells. She says she and her husband acknowledge it, but don't do anything big. Still, she never forgets her own mom, wishing her a happy Mother's Day via fax, phone, or e-mail." -By Lane Hartill -CSMonitor
