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

Sorry; we couldn't get an Internet connection yesterday so we're a bit behind on posting. Fortunately, Lori's latest run wasn't a rush so we didn't miss much. She left Columbus Tuesday morning to pickup a load of yogurt and refrigerated biscuits in Hamilton, OH headed for Mechanicsville, Virginia (just outside of Richmond). Along the way, she stopped at Wal-Mart to stock up for the week.

Lori set a leisurely pace since the load isn't scheduled for delivery until 12:30 a.m. Thursday morning. It was the first time in a long time she didn't need to set her alarm to wake up. And when she did, she was greeted by a row of beautiful flowering dogwood trees lining the rest stop. But even with this slower pace, she arrived at the location Wednesday afternoon around 4:30, enough time to take a nap and watch a little TV.

She's already "pre-planned" for her next trip, which includes a pickup in Williamsburg, Virginia at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning. Not sure yet where it's going or when it has to be there. We'll find out tomorrow.
