Short day

Morning! Well, we made our delivery yesterday and had no problems with it. We scooted on over to the truckstop for the night and NAPPED! We started this morning waiting in line for the trailer washout then ran over to Greeley, Colorado to be loaded at the shipper. We will...

Omaha 

Good Sunday morning.  it’s an early start to our day as we head over to the delivery in Cheyenne, Wyoming… Cold this morning but no ice along our path!

Long day

Howdy.  Things change so quickly sometimes even I can’t keep up! We made our midnight delivery,  ran on over to Aurora to the next shipper, then fought off the fog monsters and made our second delivery for the day in Maquoketa, Iowa.  We started working on heading to the next...

Truckstop Review 2/19/18

All across Montana you will find Town Pump stores. Some are good, others not so good. Truck parking is minimal and no truck fuel pumps. The store was very small and had virtually nothing decent. The clerk didn’t have a clue what he was doing and didn’t even know about...

Slip n Slide

Morning! Yesterday we had to shutdown due to winter storms over half of Montana. This morning the chain requirements have been lifted and the snow has stopped, so we will head on out. I am sure it will still be a big mess out there though. We have 10 hours...

Snowy drive update 

Update!  I have decided to stop in Post Falls, Idaho for now. Lookout Pass still requires chains,  high winds, blizzard, no parking,  and just look at the live webcam! Naw, we will sit here until things look better.  Good morning!  We have been dragging our feet since the traffic maps...

Washington 

Good Saturday morning!  The last few days we have been pretty busy.  We ran across the Cascade mountains and Snowqualmie Pass and it was clear and dry as we made our way to the delivery.  Then yesterday they were getting snow buildup and had chain restrictions for the mountains.  I...

Truckstop Review 2/16/18

Not much for parking at this truckstop,  but it does have everything you might need including a river and parks just a few feet away if you find yourself with some extra time. The parking lot for trucks is a small dirt lot across the street. They are open 24/7...

Truckstop Report 2/15/18

Good location on the Westside of Snowqualmie Pass and about 30 miles outside of Seattle. The parking lot is medium sized with plenty of room to manuver into a spot. About half of the parking is paid parking at a cost of $17.00. Lot is clean and well lit. I...

Caldwell 

Good morning gang!  I am going to try and bring back the truckstop reports now and then.  I also started on a few new things.  I stayed up so late and now I overslept! We are good on time since we don’t deliver until tomorrow morning,  but I did want...

Truckstop Review 02/14/18

Standard issue Flying J on Interstate 84 in Caldwell, Idaho. Decent fresh food available. I got the pot roast dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy, Mac and cheese, biscuit. There was a long line of customers at checkout, but only two cashiers. Pilot house coffee was out so I tried...

A new look!

Evening to all. Just a heads up. In celebration of our ten year anniversary,  we are updating the look of the BigRigTravels website.  When I started building my own website many years ago, I really didn’t know what I was doing.  I just fumbled along the best I could and...
