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!

When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight

Not to sound conspiratorial or cynical, but we think one of the reasons the packages of a particular delivery company are always on time is that they have some kind of pact with the Department of Transportation and law enforcement agencies across the country.

In our travels along the highways, we’ve send plenty of the trailers from this company. However, we have never seen them go through a scale house or pulled over to the side of the road by a state trooper. And they are always flying past us. Coincidence…?
