Last week, Lori delivered a truck full of Milky Way bars. She now has another load of chocolate, only this time it's in a different form; cocoa powder - 80 barrels of it.
The cocoa is coming from the Archer Daniels Midland plant on the coast of North Carolina, a place she visited before when she was teaming with Tamara. The load is headed for Milwaukee to a location on Harley Davidson Blvd. [INTERESTING HISTORICAL SIDE NOTE: Harley Davidson was started in Milwaukee in the early 1900s by two Davidson brothers and Mr. Harley. It is still the site of the company's world headquarters.] The trip length is almost 1100 miles, two full days on the road.
After Lori makes the delivery Friday morning, she's going to need to do her 34-hour reset. Since she's going to be in the Milwaukee/Chicago area she's thinking she might go to a baseball game. Mike is checking the schedules on the Internet to see who's going to be in town Friday night.
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!
