Laredo, TX

November 5, 2009

At the start of the week, I took a load (small load) to Omaha, NE.  From there, I picked up a load of Pork Ham Skins going to Laredo, TX.  I’m here in Laredo where nothing happens fast.  When you go to other places, you expect them to happen a specific way.  You can’t think [...]

No second load of sulfuric acid for Manassas

October 28, 2009

2009-1028 [Wednesday - d301 w44] 7:14:20 AM
Well, just called Tony Foster (my dispatcher) and asked if there would be another load from Cairo for me, he said that it wasn’t happening.  Oh well, as I said before, I could have used the money from the second load, but I really wanted to go home [...]

Here in Cairo, OH again…

October 27, 2009

In just a short time, I will be leaving Cairo, OH to go to Manassas, VA.  I’ve got to be in Manassas to unload tomorrow morning.  After that, I’m not sure if I’ll be coming back to Cairo or heading to Dallas.  Under normal circumstances with this run, we usually come back to Cairo to [...]

June 18, 2009

Looks like Dean and are going to Los Angeles and Portland. It’s got some miles to it. At least going to Portland now is so much better than being there in winter!

Off to OH and VA again!

May 27, 2009

This trip is taking me to Cairo, OH and Manassas, VA for the third time in four weeks. I really don’t mind though. It’s an easy run and I get to go up one way and come back another, so I’m not looking at the same scenery all the time. It’s also [...]

Why am I still up and awake?

May 18, 2009

I ask this question because the night before last, I started driving from Kingman, AZ. I drove 736 miles to Amarillo, TX and had to take a short one hour nap in between. I also got a one hour nap after Dean took over driving from Amarillo. I thought I would have [...]

Vacation Time is Over!

January 21, 2009

For the past two and a half days, I’ve been back on the job.  I like the money I make with this job, but I have no life!  I go to work and when I finally come home, I want to do a few things that I don’t get to do on the road.  I [...]

Truck won’t start

July 24, 2008

I got back today from Manassas, VA and Jeff and Tony needed my truck for a drivers test. When I got back this morning for a short run to Houston, my truck wouldn’t start. Tony had me take another truck which is fine, just not convenient.

A Tribute to Truckers

July 1, 2008

A man made a YouTube video as a tribute to truckers. This gentleman wanted to respond to the tribute and I think was more of a tribute. I just had to post it here.

Where I’ve Been

June 9, 2008

I wanted to create a map of the US and show where I’ve been. Lo and behold, I happened across a web site that does just that (AND MORE). If you want to have a blog just for a trip you take then point your browser at http://www.mytriplog.com (or just Google “My Trip [...]
