A Great Loss

granny

I found out very early this morning a very dear lady passed last night, and although shocked, I am so saddened that the trucking community has lost such a wonderful, wonderful soul. We needed you out here with us Ms. Donna. You and your HUGE personality will be so missed. Since I know you loved [...]

Living in a Truck 101

IMG_1218

I thought I would do a quick post since I whipped these up this afternoon. Living in a truck has its goods and bad. For me, I’ve found some easy ways to adapt living in a truck box most like living at home which makes road life pretty good. One thing I have found though, [...]

A Family Thing

The one thing I have learned over the years is that I’m not like a lot of the drivers out on the roads today. Granted, there are still a lot of drivers with my love and respect for trucking, but it seems these days we are further and fewer in between. Today it seems, these [...]

A Drivers View #3

We are all familiar with some of the reasons that the professional truck driver is under attack. Although I see these drivers out on the road too, I want you to know there are more top notch drivers out here than you may think. As a professional driver, I am very proud of what I [...]

Alive and Unscathed

This may ramble. At this point I’m so shook up I don’t know if I should shit or go blind, but I want to write this while it’s fresh in my mind, and right now I don’t belong behind the wheel. 20 minutes ago I was going north on HWY 83 in Kansas. I was [...]

LCM 2009

Miss Bethany presented me with a series of questions about my passion for trucks and how I deal with my profession in today’s world of trucking. I thought I’d answer her in a different context with a story of myself and how I started watching trucks ply the roads as a child. Today I’m known [...]

A Truck Drivers View #2

For my second driver interview I would like to introduce Paul Tarin or Slimeface as many of you may know him on Flickr and Twitter. I met Paul through Flickr a few years back, and I have to say that before I ever knew a thing about this guy his soulful, eye-catching pictures of the road [...]

A Feather in my Cap

Just thought I’d share this with you… Although I always strive for a clean driving record and a positive attitude out on the road, it’s not something I think about daily, for the most part it’s just there. It’s what I do. So, I was thrilled to stop in to talk to dispatch the other [...]

Good Friends…

fri2

One of the benefits of trucking I feel, is meeting new people that have the same love for trucking that I do. Unfortunately, the industry has changed a lot in the last few years and more than not, most people keep to themselves and don’t converse like they use to. Years back you would talk [...]

More Winter Blues…

statewide

I’m en-route to Los Angeles, but stuck in South Dakota because of white out conditions. Accuweather had a post up today saying that this winter could possibly be the worst in 25 years. At this point I believe it, and I’m not feeling all that lucky I’m stuck in it. I’m down on the south [...]
