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!

Hole in his head

Mike's recovering at home today after having a wisdom tooth removed, his "50-year-old molar" as he likes to call it. He figured he should get it taken care of before he goes on the road with Lori next Friday.

Speaking of Lori on the road, she's on her way to Streetsboro, Ohio (just outside of Akron) with a load of frozen pizza from Springville, Utah. Her route will take her along a road that she's gotten to know pretty well this summer - Interstate 80 through Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. The load is due on Sunday. After that, she should have a load heading back to California as she is scheduled to be back home on Wednesday.
