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!

Home Depot run

What are the odds?! Pastor Joe was in Southern California this weekend, so Lori didn't get the chance to visit with him at his church in Provo today. Oh well, Lori still enjoyed the opportunity to go to a "real" church. They even had communion today, something Lori hasn't had a chance to participate in for quite awhile.

She had a load waiting for her as soon as she got back to the terminal. Another Prime driver had dropped off a trailer full of nursery plants headed to four different Home Depots in Wyoming and Colorado. The first delivery wasn't due until tomorrow morning but Lori hightailed it to Rock Springs, Wyoming and convinced the garden center manager there to take delivery this afternoon. Hopefully, that will give her enough time to finish all of the remaining three deliveries early enough on Monday that she can get a new assignment late Monday or early Tuesday.
