Back To Work, Slave!

Tonight, I’m in Michigan. In the AM I’ll pickup a railroad load going to Colorado. Probably shouldn’t go into details, I’ve been endeavoring to keep work and my blog separate (“You gotta keep ‘em separated!“).

Today was a leisurely drive through Indiana and Michigan, it was a nice day with good weather. Tomorrow will bring the start [...]

Freezing Rain

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, [...]

Off To Work Tomorrow

Hopefully, I’ll be running my truck tomorrow. I’m definitely heading up to the truck in the AM and will be there for the next three weeks. I’m certainly wanting lots of truck loads but I’ll settle for a few.  Just get me moving and making some money.  I can’t do this for another week!

I’ve heard that [...]

So I’m blogging and drinking beer but I really wanna [...]

Working in this place I never thought about all the sounds and noises that I’m bombarded with [...]

Time to Change

I read a lot of blogs, most likely a microscopic fraction of what’s out there, but a good representative slice of the spectrum. There are a lot of news blogs, who pretty much point out stories and maybe a comment or two. Then there are the blogrollers, this folks who tell you what all the other [...]
