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!

Beer Run

Lori has completed her next delivery; a trailer full of Anheuser-Busch products going from the brewery in Williamsburg, VA to Kokomo, Indiana. Frankly, Lori's getting a little tired of running back and forth over the Appalachin Mountains. While they're certainly beautiful they do have some steep grades, which are challenging to navigate with a full trailer.

The weather has been nice the past few days; in fact, Lori says it's been a bit humid with highs in the low 80s. Nothing too bad but you can tell that spring is here and summer can't be too far away.
