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!

Memorial Day cookout

Usually, you wouldn't want to eat something that came off the grill on a truck - unless it's a portable barbecue grill carried on the back of a truck. One of the drivers that was at Prime's terminal in Pittston carries a portable grill with her so she invited Lori and several of the other drivers to have an impromptu Memorial Day cookout this evening. Only in America!

Thanks to all those service men and women who fought and died so that we would have the opportunity to enjoy all the great things this country provides - including cookouts in a trucking company terminal.

Lori's going to spend the night at the terminal and then head over to her delivery location tomorrow morning at 5:00 a.m. After that, she's coming back to the terminal to have a scheduled preventative maintenance done on the truck and have the mechanics look at the air conditioner and her brake pads.
