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!

School Days

Lori made it back to Prime's headquarters in Springfield early Tuesday evening after two days of driving back from home. Needless to say, she went to bed early!

She was "excused" from the Wednesday morning class on safe driving techniques since she had already taken it during her stay in December. The rest of the classes and driving test are scheduled to last through Friday morning, after which she should be assigned to her own truck.

The Fleet Manager (FM) that had been working with her and Tamara let Lori know that she has been assigned to a new FM based in Denver. That's the center of operations for Prime's western regional services. Not sure how much, if any, difference that will make as far as what areas Lori will be driving to since any Prime driver can theoretically be dispatched to wherever they're needed. Though it would be nice if Lori was able to stay relatively close to home.
