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!

Close(r) to Home

Lori is heading out west and Mike is heading out to meet her.

After dropping her beer in Kokomo, Lori was sent to Schaumberg, IL to pick up a load of "Lean Cuisine" frozen pizza (another location she's been to before with Tamara.) The pizza is headed for Springville, UT just outside of Provo, not exactly our home turf but close enough for Mike to make a run to meet her.

Lori should be able to make it to Springville early Monday morning so Mike has taken Monday off work so they can spend the day together. Unfortunately, Mike HAS to be back to work by Tuesday evening for a "Town Hall" community meeting but hey, a little time together is better than none.

We'll report back after Mike returns home.
