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!

Go west

We got our wish; we're heading home.

This load is going from southern New Jersey to Mira Loma, just up the street from the house. It doesn't deliver until Monday morning but we should be there by Saturday so we're hoping to leave the trailer in Prime's yard in Ontario and spend the rest of the weekend at home.

We won't mind being in warmer weather, either.
