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!

"Fowl Up" at Tyson

Lori finished her delivery in Black Mountain, North Carolina this morning and was sent to pick up a load of chicken at the Tyson packing house in Wilkesboro, NC. She arrived at about noon and expected she'd only be there for a few hours. Ten hours later, she was still waiting to leave. And no one else is leaving either, with more trucks arriving. Sounds like there must be something wrong with the production line inside.

The original delivery time for Lori's load was 8:30 a.m. Friday in Greencastle, Pennsylvania. It's going to be tough (if not impossible) to make that time so the dispatcher is working on getting the delivery time delayed.
