Flannel time

Morning!  Brrr. It’s starting to get chilly at night! Lastnight I noticed the Wyoming traffic cameras showing low visibility due to blowing snow…. Looks like it won’t bother us today, but it is fast approaching.  Yep,  I’ve been lazy getting up early last few days. We we ahead of schedule,...

Let's go! 

Afternoon ya’ll!  We didn’t get to go underground this time, instead we got loaded right at the entrance!  Let’s go see what miles we can get in today! All weights are good and ready to roll!

Emporia 

Afternoon ya’ll. We made the first delivery lastnight but had to go to our terminal to hand the trailer over to another driver so they could make this morning’s deliver..  We have our next trip lined up. Today we will bobtail to Emporia,  Kansas to get our empty trailer then...

On our way!

Good morning gang. We finally got out of that place yesterday after about 32 hours. Completely stupid. We are on our way to our first delivery that occurs tonight.  The final delivery is set to happen early tomorrow morning but I’ve been hollering I can’t do and move it either...

Zoo!

Well,  our load was supposed to be preloaded at 1am on Thursday.  Then they changed it to 1am on Friday.  Now it is 930am and they still haven’t even started yet. The trucks are lined up on both sides of the street all the way back to the main road....

Ugh!

Morning!  Well I rushed to get out of hotel and was all ready to begin our next trip.  The trailer was supposed to be preloaded at 1am this morning… But when I checked in to pick it up,  I get told the load isn’t scheduled until tomorrow afternoon!  Oh boy....

Just a good night's walk

Here are a few photos of one of the places I walk around to get out of the truck and explore a nice evening’s walk. Fox River Bluff straddles the Fox River in St. Charles. The portion on Route 31, along the west shoreline of the Fox River, is known...

Time off

Morning!  We will continue our trip up North to the Chicago area for a few days off.

Fuel? 

Good Saturday morning.  Well we left Olney,  ill7and headed to Effingham for fuel.  We typed in both tractor and trailer fuel like normal.  I was supposed to be allowed to fill both tanks to the top, but instead the pump shut-off at just 113 gallons and no trailer fuel. I...

Finally Friday 

Morning!  We decided to leave our trailer in the yard last night and bobtailed to the corner truckstop for the night. This morning we have gone back to get it and have hit the highway.  The first broadcast apparently got set to private while live on the air…. Let’s try...

Bang bang bang!

Yup, we are currently unloading at our delivery as they try to drive the forklift through the front of the trailer!  Ever try to type while your keyboard is bouncing?  We have our next trip lined up. Good night last night as we rolled into the truckstop with zero minutes...

Busy!

Afternoon everybody.  Busy day today.  We started early and made our delivery and also loaded for the next trip at the same place.  We are going to run as far as we can but keep hitting our 70 limit…. Did you happen to see us almost get run over yesterday...
