From Rome to Charlotte

Tweet

I’m at the Flying Hook in Rock Hill, SC, waiting for Monday to roll around. Up to now it had been a fairly busy week for me. Now that all my loads are done, I wasn’t left with one that would get me through the weekend. I’ll have to wait until Monday and maybe I’ll get [...]

Get A Load On

Tweet

About time for bed. Finally got a load about 1300 to pickup a John Deere load out of Dubuque going to somewhere near Dayton, OH. Will pick it up tomorrow. Been Twittering and web browsing in the meantime, basically just wasting time. The WiFi connection here at the Flying J sucks, so I guess its time [...]

Stopped for Repairs

Tweet

Hanging out at Gary, truck repaired, waiting for a load out of here. The Qualcomm just beeped after I sent a query. The “read-me-now” lite on the dashboard isn’t lit, so I know its just a message saying, “We’re still looking…” I’m out of cash, cigarettes, and snacks and I’m bored outta my mind. Hopefully the [...]

Two Seasons in Three Days

Tweet

Last week I picked up a mixer truck heading to Florida. I was in Morris, IL and the temperature was 15 or so. This is the view I had while I was waiting for them to thaw out the truck:

This is the fog bank I went through to get to Miami:

When I cleared the fog, I [...]

Freezing Rain

Tweet

Woke of this morning to the sound of frozen rain tapping on the fiberglass roof of my truck. Has to crank up the truck and defrost my windows before I could take off.  Then it was 15-20 mph up I-75 until I ran into better weather about 50 miles up the road.  No big deal really, [...]

Back in the Saddle

Tweet

On the road now and I’m feeling better. As soon as I get used to truck driving again. I usually feel a little worn out the first day back after a couple of days at home, well this time I went two weeks at home before I was able to run again. I’m bushed! And [...]
