Big mess
Afternoon. Well, we started our day off on the wrong foot and it just keeps stacking up. I woke up 20 minutes late then rushing to get to the first delivery of the day, the interstate was shutdown. We still managed to arrive just 30 minutes late and the first stop took us with no […]
Delivery ONE
Morning! This getting up at 145am and driving really is for the birds! Wait, no, the birds at least wait until a reasonable hour! We are at our first delivery this morning waiting on our door. The drive into the Portland area was a beautiful one as we ran along the Columbia River. Three deliveries […]
4th and Wyoming
Afternoon! We are taking our 30 minute break in between Rawlins and Wamsutter, Wyoming on Interstate 80. Beautiful drive this morning and over 100 folks were on the live stream at one time. I finally got the South Dakota photo galleries opened. You can check them out here New South Dakota Galleries We still have more […]
Soggy fields
Morning to ya! The day is starting out foggy and overcast after a night of storms. Nothing major, but yesterday rolling into the area you can see flooded fields everywhere! I called the shipper and our load just got finished being loaded and we can go pick it up in a few minutes. Looks like […]
Way early!
Good early Saturday morning to everyone. Welcome to the Fourth of July weekend. Yup, I’m up and preparing to hit the highway towards Kansas City and Edwardsville to make our delivery. Right now we are literally minutes away from completing our 34 hour restart and will start all over with a fresh set of 70 […]
July!
Good Friday morning! It sure was good to sleep in this morning, and yet I still woke up at 515! Clouds are here today and it looks like it is going to be hard to keep the fuse lit on the firecrackers this week in St Louis with all the rain. I have decided to […]
Dale and 30 minutes
Afternoon ya’ll. We picked up our load nice and early this morning. I was expecting it to be a live load but we arrived and it was preloaded and waiting on us. That sure was good news. Now, here is the tricky part…we just got a full set of 70 hours last week in Kansas […]
51?!
Good morning. We are about to roll out of the Crawfordsville, Indiana pilot truckstop to start the day. We will run right into the delivery. We got assigned our next trip but it was from Ohio to Illinois! I threw a fit and said no way – I know there are more states than just […]
Uugh
A few issues going on this morning with the broadcast… We picked up our load and are on our way towards Ohio…
Catching up on news…
Ok, finally had the chance to write a blog for today. We rolled into and made our delivery today a full 20 hours early! I was surprised they let us in. I thought they might make us wait and fit us in but we went right to our door! I had planned on writing the […]
Bobtail Bob
Evening to ya! Or, morning if you see the sunrise! Yesterday we made our drop in Columbus, Ohio and had one heck of a time finding an empty trailer to take to our next shipper. After several hours of searching I was told to play Bobtail Bob to Napoleon! So we found a small corner […]
Bored?
Not quite! Morning Road Crew! Whenever I have unexpected downtime, that is, time I am not driving for one reason or another, I get emails and comments about how can I handle not driving and just sitting in the truck for so long. Fair question I suppose, but I am far from ever being bored. […]
