Break's over! Lori headed back out on the road this afternoon after her time off. It was a hectic yet worthwhile weekend that included a T-ball game, time with the grandkids (including a trip to try on "flower girl" dresses with granddaughter Jenna), a college graduation, visits with family, 2 doctor's appointments, an eye doctor appointment, and a teeth cleaning!
Lori's first load back was her shortest ever - about 45 miles from a drop yard in Chino to Ralph's distribution center in Compton. After completing that load, it was out to Riverside to pick up a load headed for Corinne, UT for a Thursday morning delivery.
The next trip back home will come in three weeks when Lori will be back for daughter Lizzie's wedding shower the weekend of June 8.
About Us
We’re Mike and Lori, a middle-aged couple that decided to make a huge change in our professional and personal lives by becoming long-haul truck drivers. (You can read more about the how and why of that decision in "Really? Why!? - Parts I and II.")
There are lots of things we could tell you so you can get to know us, and we probably will in the weeks and months to come. But we believe the most important thing is that we are born-again Christians. It provides the foundation for how we view the world, instructs us on how we are to relate to everyone around us, and fills us with a sense of peace and well-being that can only come from knowing God is in charge of everything and that He wants only the best for us.
