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!

Rebound

It’s back to Southern California for Lori.

She made her produce delivery in New Mexico early this morning and then got some sleep. When she got up, she had been assigned a load headed for Bakersfield and Modesto, CA which would have taken her through Tehachapi, CA for a visit with Mike’s dad and stepmom. But, it wasn’t to be.

While Lori was in Wal-Mart doing her weekly shopping, she was given another load. Seems there was a truck that had broken down and was waiting at the Freightliner in Albuquerque for a repair. Unfortunately, they had a trailer full of frozen food that needs to be in Ontario, CA as soon as possible. So Lori headed north, swapped her empty trailer for the frozen load, and then hit the road.

She’ll probably make it to Kingman, AZ tonight (to let all the “river rats” drive home after the long holiday weekend) and then roll in the rest of the way Monday morning.
