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!

Here and Gone

Lori and Tamara dropped their "high value" load (coats from Burlington Coat Factory) in Chino early this morning, which gave Mike a chance to swing by for a visit on his way to work. He came bearing some smoked chicken, baby back ribs, and cold slaw that he made over the weekend. He was just going to grill a chicken but Lori talked him into firing up the ol' smoker and making enough so her and Tamara could enjoy some homemade 'cue on the truck. Mike's trying to figure out a way to strap the smoker onto the catwalk behind the cab... Probably not going to happen.

It wasn't long before they had another load assignment (picking up veggies at Dole in Yuma - again) so it was off to the office for Mike and out to the desert for the truck.
