Loading early

Afternoon gang! They are loading us several hours early so we will hopefully be able to get a decent headstart on this trip to Pennsylvania.  We have been hitting our 70 hour clock everyday but will be gaining 10+ hours daily. The great thing is we will be able to...

Droopy

Morning.  We head to our delivery in Moberly,  Missouri today.  We just got our next trip lined up….

Recap

Howdy and good evening.  I realize that we had a rough signal since we left Cheyenne , Wyoming and my end of stream comments might not have been heard.  Basically, my first thought was to shutdown in Cheyenne but instead decided to just keep rolling.  Then, we came up on...

Virginia

Afternoon Ya’ll.  Hopefully you enjoyed the trip through the New York areas yesterday.  We made our delivery this morning then had to run directly to the shipper  in Stuarts Draft , Virginia.  I was supposed to be loaded and ready but then they said a few hours.  Now, we ran...

Missed it!

Well heck. We did everything we could.  We didn’t even take the half hour break. Wee missed our loading the by 30 minutes and they already went home for the day. They will load us Friday morning first come first serve. That is the good news. The bad news is...

Shop update

Well, they did the main 50k services, but they found a few minor issues which they will fix Thursday morning. Think of the good side of this though, we are getting a 34hr restart out of the deal. Meanwhile, it is nice and sunny in New York with a slight...

Left Rear Outside

Know what that means?  We did our morning inspection and noticed we have a flat tire on our trailer!  The title of the post actually tells you exactly what tire position I’m talking about . The good news is there is a tire shop right in the parking lot here....

Dinosaur Kiss!

Good Saturday morning Road Crew!  The other day,  I took a selfie of me and the Sinclair Dinosaur at the Baker City, Oregon truckstop and posted it on the BigRigTravels Facebook group page. In the comments,  Bama1954 offered to donate $50 to see me kissing one. Well, here ya go!...

Behind the scenes

Well dangit man! If you guys only knew the troubles! So, I recorded the drive from Biggs Junction, Oregon to Granger, Washington on US Highway 97 North a few days ago. Because of the limitations of the HD recording format on the phones, it split the recording into three sections....

US Highway 97

Good late morning to all. We have been dragging our feet this morning since our loading appointment isn’t until 1pm Pacific.  I called about loading earlier but they said no since the product we haul won’t even be available until then. Since we have never been on this  section of...

Emergency!

Good Sunday morning!  We left Fort Bridger, Wyoming early this morning and made our way up and down the Three Sisters Mountains and through the canyons on into Utah.  Right now we are getting the battery replaced in our reefer trailer since it stopped working.  As soon as we get...
