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!

Back to Texas

We did have an opportunity to spend some time at home yesterday, taking care of a few chores around the house, doing the laundry, and sleeping in our own bed (if only for a few hours).

We've just finished unloading the second part of our load of Tyson chicken here in Oxnard and are preparing to head over to our next pickup, which is only about 1 mile away. It's a load of frozen bread going to the HEB Grocery distribution center in San Antonio, TX. The delivery appointment isn't until Monday evening so we're thinking we'll arrive Sunday and be able to spend some time along San Antonio's Riverwalk. I'll be sure to post some photos if we do.
