About This Site

This blog is primarily intended to keep our family and friends up-to-date on where we are and where we’re going as we drive around the country as long-haul truckers. But it’s also a chance to share some observations about life on the road and life in general.

The title is a reference to one of the things we find so attractive about driving a truck (which weighs 40 tons – 80,000 pounds – when fully loaded); it allows us to travel all over this great country of ours, see the sights, and get paid while we're doing it!

On the Road Again

Break's over! Lori and Tamara hit the road again early this afternoon. Lori had a great few days off the road, taking the opportunity to sleep in a real bed, visit with family, and go to the spa for a relaxing massage. Ahhhhhh....

After picking up an empty trailer at the drop yard in Fontana, they swung by a truck stop in the Palm Springs area for fuel and a wash before heading down to Yuma, AZ to pick up a load late tonight. From there, it's across the country to Bessemer City, North Carolina (just outside of Charlotte).

The weather is looking good along their route for the next few days after yesterday's devastating tornados in Arkansas and Tennessee. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who were injured, and especially to the family and friends of the 52 people who were killed. Another reminder of the awesome power of Creation and the fact that none of us are promised tomorrow!
