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!

Let's See, Where Were We...

After getting sidetracked to Springfield to have her truck fixed, Lori is heading back west so she can be closer to home for her planned weekend off. Plans include visiting with kids and grandkids on Saturday, going to daughter Shannon's college graduation on Sunday morning, and doctors appointments on Monday (plus some plain old time off!).

The trip to the body shop this morning went smoothly and quickly, so Lori went back to headquarters to pick up a trailer of frozen food headed for Ogden, UT. She was on the road by 9:30 a.m. The load isn't due until Wednesday morning so Lori can travel at a "normal" pace.

Hopefully, her next load will be down to Southern California!
