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!

Best laid plans

Well, so much for that pre-plan. Lori wasn't assigned a load directly out of Wal-mart but that's okay. It gave her a chance to head over to a local truck stop for a relaxing shower and then across the street to Cracker Barrel for a nice dinner.

She does have a load, however - from Tyson chicken in Rogers, Arkansas headed for Corinne, Utah. It just won't be ready to be picked up until sometime between noon and 6:00 p.m. But that's okay, too. There's a Calvary Chapel just down the street so Lori is going to go to their 10 o'clock service before heading over to Tyson.

The chicken is due in Utah Wednesday evening.
