It’s back to Iowa for Lori – with a trailer full of NOS energy drink, a product of the Coca-Cola company.
But before she could pick up the NOS Lori had to drop off her pudding, which took a little longer than expected. On her way to her destination she came across a truck detour sign that directed her off her intended route – but didn’t offer any directional signs on where to go after that!
She called Mike at home so he could use the GPS/routing software on their computer to come up with a truck-friendly alternate route. He was able to find one but it added 50 miles to the trip. Lori will be glad when Mike – and the computer – are on the truck with her.
Lori’s spending the night at the Prime facility in Pittston, PA so she can have a scheduled maintenance done on her truck first thing tomorrow morning. After that, she’ll be on her way for the two-day trip to Waukee, IA (just west of Des Moines). Her route will take her by Grandpa’s Cheesebarn so she’s planning on a quick stop to stock up.
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!
