Broadcast Silence

Good Thursday morning and welcome to the last day of February! Hopefully spring is around the corner! Below is a data tower map of Interstate 70 between Green River, Utah and Interstate 15. As you can see, virtually nothing available for us to broadcast this morning. The snowman camera will...

Special Routing

Good evening to ya! Boy, what a long day that ended with a twist! First off, we had to leave Denver right away and fight traffic before our clocks ran out and we didn’t have time to set the new trips or update the Trip Journal right away. I just...

Sunday night in Joplin

Howdy and welcome to Joplin, Missouri about two miles from the State of Oklahoma!It has been a long drive from where we started this morning in Bloomington, Illinois. This morning we had to fight some pretty strong side winds all the way to St Louis and beyond a bit, but...

Mad!

So I get up at midnight in order to take care of “emergency ” business and drop this trailer only to be given a list of 7 trailers to use….that are not road worthy.  Back and forth conversations and we are at an impasse.  I can’t Bobtail to the shipper...

34 hour restart

Howdy.  Here is the latest information for you.  Because of the weather delays and shipper overloading us, we missed our delivery appointment in Madison,  Wisconsin.  The additional time spent driving in winter weather caused us to use up more of our 70 hours for the week.  We literally ran out...

Compromise?

Good afternoon from Walton, Kentucky! Hope you enjoyed this trip and especially the early morning delivery down that skinny street in Chicago! It has been a very fast paced, multiple long days on this trip, but we actually made all the appointments on time even when the planners told me...

Sunday Morning Bobtail

Good morning America! We made our drop and hook delivery then searched several places for an empty trailer. No luck. Planners finally gave up and gave me permission to play Bobtail Bob to the next shipper. The sun is waking up in Denver, Colorado so let’s go enjoy being in...

Oh boy. Mixed feelings

Good evening to the Road Crew.  I just now had a chance to sit down and make a blog post.  Tonight I cooked 12 pork chops , 6 big steaks, 4 pounds of ground beef,  and other great grocery items, all vacuum sealed and ready for the freezer. I tried...

UPDATE - Road Crew Radio

Well, sadly, it looks like the data towers got too crowded too fast and we went from 25MB/s upload speed down to less than 1! Looks like everybody got home from work then started playing on the internet. We will have to try again at 9am central time. The mornings,...

Sunday video

We are almost to our delivery in Rochelle, Illinois. Right after we drop this trailer we will begin our time off. Be sure to watch the blog Tuesday for a special announcement!

Afternoon delivery

Good Sunday afternoon to ya. We are just dragging our feet a bit since we have a later afternoon delivery scheduled and we can’t arrive too early. We already have the next trip lined up and it will be a longer trip than this one from California.
