More details to this question:
I am a truck driver and have been driving for about 3 years now. I am leased on with a carrier that allows children on the truck. I have taken our oldest out for a few weeks, but would like to take all 3 with me. My wife hates to be on the truck and will not go, and says if I take the kids, she will get me arrested for kidnapping. The kids love being on the truck, and I am only looking at going out over the summer, so they won't miss school. As of now, there are no plans for divorce, but I don't know if she will feel justified in filing if I take the kids out for the summer.

Every court will give her an emergency order restraining you from taking the kids on the truck for any extended period of time (more than a few hours). It is not in the best interest of the children to be driving around simply to be in the truck with you. You need to make time to be with them where they can do what kids do, not take them to work with you.
