Long long day

Afternoon Road Crew! We delivered by dropping the loaded trailer and pulled out a brand new empty trailer to use at our next shipper Monday morning. We started at 230am this morning and drove the 530 miles to delivery. We will start broadcasting AFTER we get loaded about 9am. Here...

Surprise night

Howdy. We went to the shop for the Calbit inspection but they were pretty busy so they will take us at 6am Friday morning. Guess what? Since the house is only 25 miles away, I came home for the night and managed to mow the lawn, mulch leaves and core...

18 mile detour

So we were just about to our shipper when we encountered a detour that banned trucks 29 tons and over literally a few blocks from where we needed to be. During our detour, we traveled through some amazing scenery and skinny roads. I know Pennsylvania has some mighty tight roads...

Sunday video and fall colors

Good Sunday morning! I’m hoping we will get to see some fall colors today as we roll through West Virginia and Virginia towards our delivery.  We do already have the next trip lined up after today’s delivery.

Update on truck

The dealership told us this morning that the truck would be ready later this afternoon.  As we were checking out of the hotel,  they moved out completion to tomorrow morning.  They are doing newly required recalls and as a precaution they will keep it tonight.  They are actively working on...

Here we go again!

Howdy and if you were watching the Live Broadcast this morning when we started out for the day, you would have seen that we got a whole three miles down US Highway 24 before we got a serious emergency alarm and engine shutdown in 30 seconds warning! We got to...

Let's keep messing it up!

Ha! Ever since yesterday and the extra pallet of products,  things have been monkey’d up. Today our current trip has been given to us and removed multiple times.  Then we finally get to the shipper and think we are finally moving forward,  and we hit yet another glitch.  Currently we...

Sunday evening video

Long day today getting back in the saddle! We will make delivery tomorrow Monday morning then reload in the same city!

Back in business - almost

Woohoo we got the truck back this afternoon. Since they had to drain all 200 gallons of fuel, the first thing we did was go right back to Love’s to fill up! Hahaha yup, I know what you are thinking…but so far no repeat of bad fuel. Ok, the total...

Friday Update

So today’s update has both good and bad news. As you know, we started having problems right after we fueled up at the Love’s truckstop in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and that this whole area has been under tremendous flooding this year. As it turns out, we did in fact...

Truck Drama Update

Well, we got a hotel on the companies dime for tonight. The preliminary findings show coolant leaking into the fuel. They will tear it apart Wednesday morning to figure out exactly what, where, and why along with how and who…. (let’s see, did I forget anything?) Not much else news...

Stand by for news....

…this trip has been interrupted by a tow truck! We had just filled all of our tanks with fuel from the Love’s truckstop in Sioux Falls, South Dakota then hit the Interstate towards delivery when the engine started knocking and we lost power. A few sample restarts and the engine...
