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!

To the Cheese Cave!

While it's not as cool as Batman's "Bat Cave," it was pretty interesting to make a pickup from the Kraft facility in Springfield, MO which is housed inside a former limestone mine.


Actually, there are a number of storage facilities, etc. located in old limestone mines throughout western Missouri, especially around the Kansas City area. In fact, there is one called Subtropolis" (pictured here) that houses a number of businesses and RV storage.


Anyway, Lori picked up a load of cheddar cheese from the "cave" and headed out for Humble, TX (located on the northern edge of Houston) early this morning. She should arrive in the afternoon Thursday with plenty of time to spare to make her Friday morning delivery appointment.
