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!

Leaving Bean Town

Lori delivered the second part of the tomato load yesterday afternoon and was immediately given another assignment - one that would get her out of the northeast. Which is fine with Lori because she's come to the conclusion that people in that part of the country just aren't as friendly as they are in other parts of the country. Not that she's been there all that often but everytime she has, she's noticed a real difference in the attitude of the folks that live and work there. Oh, and it seems everybody's a Red Sox FANATIC around Boston.

Anyway, she's picked up a load of chemicals (she read the name but has no idea what it is; at least its' not hazardous) and she's headed for a town just outside of Austin, Texas - Buda. Not sure if it's pronounced like the name of the Oriental religious figure or a young rose blossom. She'll have to ask when she gets there early Tuesday.
