foggymtbreakdown+paultarin

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

attagirl

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 [...]

CDL vs. Non CDL Holders

So,  I’ve been sitting here reading about the trucking industry, and what FMCSA has planned for truckers. I’m thinking, that before long if the government has it’s way, trucking will be down to a few large companies and I, along with many, many, good people who LOVE trucking to the bone will be given one [...]

What I see…

And why I never get bored on the road… Mother Nature never lets me get bored. I’m home for a few days. Have paperwork, truck maintenance, and relaxation to take care of! *** I’m sorry, I’m not going anywhere employment wise. What I meant by this is that I have another great driver interview for [...]

Stuck again… #2

SW

Only 50 miles from the house this time, and I’m stuck. All roads that I would want to or could travel are closed…. Maybe better luck tomorrow. On the plus side, a guy stuck next to me came up and told me if my truck died during the night I could come pound on his [...]

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 [...]

So I didn’t get to going through my mail until today. Mostly, it was bills. But, today I had a gift in my mail pile from my sister in law Christy. I am very lucky, as she sends me goodies every once in a while… Today’s package was super cool, and I thought I’d share it [...]

It doesn’t matter if your in a car, pick-up, or semi-truck, if you follow these easy steps you should arrive to your destination safely! Be [...]

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 [...]
