I’m on vacation. You knew that right? It’s a driving vacation which suites me well since I like to drive. This vacation is being driven in my grandmothers car and it’s probably the most I’ve driven a four wheeled vehicle in many, many moons. Usually the furthest I go in a car is the 20 [...]
Vacation

I was a bit jealous this fella loved up to my grandmother…. He is definitely my kind of man! I had to tell hubs that I almost ran away with a gun slinger and he knew I was almost serious! These boys were cute… Loved the face the gal was making in the back ground. [...]
Follow the Moon

For most of my career trucking I have run at night. My favorite reason being, nights like the other night when the moon led the way. My trucking company is aptly named Quarter Moon Express because of nights like this. I am so lucky to see mother nature at her best and worst. I’m in it [...]

Well, there isn’t going to be a lot of trucking done this week. I’m leaving for vacation on Friday, so I can’t go too far away from home. I have a couple of loads going out tomorrow and Wednesday, but today I am home trying to talk myself into canning tomatoes! Which isn’t working yet… [...]

The Essence of She

When I started trucking I had a few goals in mind. One of the first (I promised my dad this) was that I was always going to look like a lady, although there are many, many days that I sure don’t sound like one (I can swear like a trucker, no doubt!). The second was that [...]
Daily driving lessons for Rookies.

I’ve been driving for some time now and when I started out, there was respect among drivers. Now I find nothing but a lack there of. Is it because most truckers are not really truckers at all? I won’t use the “steering wheel holder” bit, but I wonder if the drivers are out here because [...]

I have gotten a lot of guff from my husband who drives local (and always has) about how I can pack up my truck and “just leave”. He has always brought up the fact that I act as if I have no feelings for what I am leaving behind at home and that has always [...]
Happy Anniversary!

Today is our anniversary. This is an old christmas card with us and our matching His and Hers Peterbilts. Mine is the better looking one on the right! I parked behind as to not make hubs feel too bad about his ride… He will be following me to Wisconsin today, but will be about 8 [...]
Last Nights Events

Reason for starting blog: Last nights events. Re: People who hate truckers. As I sit home, thankful I don’t have to be in a truck today, which is where I love to be, I can’t get the thoughts out of my head as to what happened last night. I was driving through Morton Minnesota on [...]
