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!

A Lovely Day

Lori's days seem to be following a pattern; one crummy day then a great one.

The weather across Pennsylvania today was beautiful, the route didn't include any small rural highways to drive, and the rest stop where Lori had lunch had aspen trees (her favorite).

She arrived at Kraft in the late afternoon and dropped her trailer at a loading dock. Her next assignment requires that she pick up an empty trailer from Kraft, but they're one shift behind so she can't get another trailer until tomorrow morning.

Once she gets her trailer, she's heading up to a distribution center to pickup a load of Mars candy for delivery to a city just south of Chicago, a nice two-day trip. Hopefully, the weather won't get too bad, though there is a big winter storm heading east across Minnesota.
