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!

Farr, far away

Lori's on her way to West Farr, Utah after making her delivery this morning in Commerce; a load of Yoplait "Go-Gurt."

Two of the cases weren't accepted because they were damaged - which left some Go-Gurt on the floor and walls of the trailer. And that meant a trip to the truck wash before picking up the load headed for Utah at Unilever in Rialto, CA.
This load is packages of Knorr sauce and gravy mixes. It isn't scheduled to be delivered until 11:59 p.m. on Thursday but Lori should be there by Wednesday evening. Not wanting to sit around waiting for 24 hours, she's going to ask Cheryl if she can drop the trailer early and pickup another load.
