Florida! 

Howdy!  Welcome to the sunny and warm State of Florida.  My buddy up in Chicago isn’t too happy with me about now. He tells me I left him up there in zero and negative temperatures while I ran away to Florida!  Ha Our delivery has been rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon!...

Evening! 

Ok, so why didn’t I start driving first thing this morning?  Our first delivery is 6pm and we only had 220 miles to go. If we left too early,  we would have arrived too early and then run out of our 14 hour clock. True, I could have mentioned it...

New York Snow

Morning.  We already dropped our loaded trailer and hooked up to an empty. Now we are just waiting for our next load…..

Lake effects 

Morning!  I have been watching the weather the last two days pretty closely.  There are and have been multiple warnings for heavy Lake effect snows around the Great Lakes regions. Chicago is expected to get upwards of 10 inches. So far our path to our delivery looks clear, but no...

Cold!

Morning from Mount Sterling,  Illinois where it is currently 18 with ac2 degree windchill!  We are being unloaded right now and once done here, we head on over to the Bloomington area for a washout, fuel, and our next shipper. Not much data signal out here in the boonies and...

Getting ready 

Howdy! Welcome back on the truck! We are getting ready to head on over to pick up a preloaded trailer and will get rolling here in a few minutes.  First a short trip then we already have our next trip lined up after this one. I didn’t really do anything...

Snow coming! UPDATED!

Good morning.  Looking like snow is arriving!  I think I will enjoy my homemade Pilot coffee,  watch TV, and do free laundry from the warmth of my hotel room…. A few photos of the first snowfall in the area this winter…..

Midnight Madness 

Afternoon to everyone.  We have arrived at the truckstop just down the street from our delivery.  We will go get food then maybe nap since we deliver just after midnight tonight.  After delivery we will be taking a few days off…..

Square 1 Update....

Morning.  Back to square one. The trip we had lined up for today was taken away because I started a big fight. Basically,  I accepted the trip and a few hours after acceptance they changed the delivery times on me. Doing that,  it would then require me to get not...

Well... 

Apparently there is not much freight in Texas! We have our next trip but it doesn’t load until tomorrow night here in Dallas!!  Once we get loaded it will be an overnight run to the first delivery!  Guess not much we have a choice about….other than keep ourselves entertained and...

Clouds 

Morning!  We did our 70 hour restart and have a full slate of hours. Had decent food while here and took a few extra naps. Lots of clouds and wind around here this morning.  We will make our way South on Interstate 35 down to Fort Worth,  Texas and wait...

Oklahoma! 

Good morning!  Well,  I know you guys want me to drive, but we are only three hours from delivery.  I have spent the morning trying to get permission to drop earlier but it’s a no-go. The plan is now to stay parked here today and get a full 34 hour...
