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!

Milk run

We're back at it with an assignment that feels more like a delivery route than cross-country truck driving.

After picking up at a warehouse in Ontario, CA it's off to the San Francisco Bay area for four different deliveries - one in Union City, the next in South San Franciso, inland to Stockton, and then finally back to Union City. And they're all due tomorrow.

The only way we're going to make all the deliveries on time is if we get in and out quickly at each stop. That's a big "if" given the speed at which we are usually unloaded.
