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!

Catching Up

We haven't posted in a few days so here's a quick update.

The air conditioning was fixed (yeah!) in Eloy, AZ and it only took 30 minutes to get the work done. The rest of the trip to Bessemer City, NC was uneventful. In fact, things went so smoothly, Lori and Tamara made the original delivery time even with their late start from Yuma and the repair.

The delivery went quickly and they were assigned another load right away; frozen chicken from Wilkesboro, NC to Keasbey, NJ. Most of the drive was on Lori's shift, which meant she got to drive on the outskirts of Washington DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. It was a bit like driving around back home, what with the amount of traffic on the road even though it was close to midnight on a Thursday night.

Fortunately, the run went smoothly and as of 3:oo a.m. they were waiting at the delivery location for a dock assignment. Nothing pre-planned as of yet so we'll see where they're headed next.
