Happy Labor Day!

IMG_0358

Although so nice, our weekend went too fast. As I sit here trying to get ready to go to work, I feel it was a blur. Here it is in pictures… We had mouthy ducks before we left. It seems they now sit outside the kitchen quacking until they get food or attention. Or both. [...]

I Don’t Settle

Rosie+sunshine

I get a lot of emails, questions, and comments about being out here in a truck and having a life otherwise. For some time I have not said much about it and pretty much ignored the question. I don’t see anything I have as a big deal…. That being said, other people think it is [...]

Before I get into the farm stuff I wanted to say a quick thank you to a few people who have given One Girl Trucking a mention on their websites in the last couple of weeks! I want you to know I appreciate the mention and I hope you dear readers check them and their [...]

The Easy Way Out

base_media

A few weeks ago when I was waiting to check in at a produce shed, a younger driver asked me two questions while standing there. The first was where he could get a permit to go into New Mexico. The second was, where are the weigh stations at? I told him most of the bigger [...]

Gone to the Dogs… For Steph

Long before I ever had a computer or cell phone in a truck, I had a dog in my truck. I’ve been putting off introducing her because since hubs fell off the roof last fall she has been with my parents, living a very cushy life in northern Minnesota. I’m thinking that when it comes [...]

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 [...]

Homemade Pizza

pizza

When I’m home, or running local I like to come home and cook. The bad this is, it ends up being  a late supper, usually though, hubs is willing to wait for homemade food anytime! Pizza is a little more time consuming since you have to wait for the dough to rise, but the results [...]

The Highlander

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 [...]
