Last day of 2017

Morning Road Crew!  We are unloading at the final delivery for 2017. When we get done here we will turn the cameras back on for one last two hour broadcast for the year. We will be taking a few days off. We have hit our 70 hours limit once again!...

Wyoming 

I am going to make this special post…about Wyoming.  For years now, we have been running East and West across Interstate 80 in our daily trucking adventures.  Occasionally we have gotten away from the big road and cut across the backroads and through some of the smaller towns across the...

Trip swap

We terminated our trip here in Ogallala,  Nebraska and are swapping trailers with another driver.  The new trip from this point on has been posted. After final delivery in Sterling,  Illinois,  we will be required to take a 34 hour restart then go visit the doctor on January 3Rd…

Again,  nobody knows... 

Howdy.  Our load was supposed to be ready and preloaded and waiting on us. We arrived and now there are problems with the correct loading information and times. Now, the load supposedly won’t be ready until midnight!?   Not sure what is going on, will update as soon as I...

Merry Christmas 

Merry Christmas to all of you.  We are shutdown in Laramie,  Wyoming due to the interstate being closed.  As soon as things open up, we will roll on.

34 hours

Morning!  OK, so we have been forced to take a 34 hour restart.  I’d rather be driving but the law won’t let us. Yesterday we drove the highest single day miles at 671 miles!!  We will start heading to Utah tomorrow morning with a fresh slate of 70 hours and...

Issues! 

Ok, so we dropped our loaded trailer at the delivery yesterday.  They had no empty trailers available so we went to several places to find an empty.  The only place we found a trailer at all had nine of them, but every single one had no reefer fuel and dead...

Ohio

Long days lately,  long nights too. We have arrived at our delivery and as soon as done here we will have to rush to the next shipper… 650 miles accomplished yesterday. 

Waiting 

So yesterday we drove through the night after spending two days at the shop. Obviously we could not make delivery by 5am because of the delay at the shipper and stupidly tight schedule.  We missed the delivery appointment because we hit our 14 hour rule. I was hoping we would...

Ready? 

Ok gang. Looks like we have been released from the shop with new oil, alignment,  updates,  and ten new tires!  Ooooo don’t they look pretty!  We got 236,000 miles out of the first set! We will load about 7pm tonight then turn on the cameras once again and broadcast our...

Tires

Boy, not a happy camper lately.  First Springfield then now in Kansas City.  We have been waiting on tires all day.  Not sure what all is going to happen with this next trip, but after being up all day with the shop, how am I expected to drive 600 miles...

Restart and inspection 

Afternoon gang.  We are taking a 34 hour restart because we kept hitting our 70 hour limit and doing alot of 1 and 2am driving because of it. We also have run into a situation where we are now overdue for our California BIT inspection which locks us out for...
