Trucking, Training & the Mentality of Others
Aug. 22 2011
A few weeks ago when I went to pick up my loaded trailer I run into a driver I have known for some time. He is a company driver for one of the accounts I haul for. He has always been fun to talk to, so of coarse when I walked into the guard shack we gave each other a bit of shit, told a story or two and caught up on where we have been. Finally as I was going to walk out the door to go get my trailer I asked him if he was going out or coming back in, to which he replied that he wouldn’t be driving for the next two
Driver Accountability
May. 06 2011
I have been following this story since February and honestly it makes me sick. A driver new to the trucking industry flipped over a CRST truck. I will say right off I do not personally know him, just of him and that is where I am writing this story from. He came to me last fall via Twitter asking if I would help him get a job driving. Below is his message he sent me. For the record, I declined. Hey Bethany can I ask a favor? Could you go to bat for me a lil with schnider_Ben? He's going to bat for me with
Just a Little Ride With My Hubs
Apr. 27 2011
I really never had any intention of posting this anywhere. BUT, seeing Hubs and I don't get to run together as much as we would like I thought I'd take video. Then when I started watching it, I could see a different view of how it looks to turn a truck on corners and I thought I would show you. Don't worry, it may look like it, but I don't run anything over! Trucks need a good amount of room to move, and even though I meet a lot of people who are willing to give me that room, I run into even more people who are mad as
Take a Ride-Highway 60 Arizona
Apr. 15 2011
This is a short trip across HWY 60 in Arizona just west of Show Low. The ride I'm about to take you on is just the tip of the iceberg for what you can and will see on HWY 60. It's beautiful country! For a trucker I think, with a loaded wagon HWY 60 is a lot of work and you had best be prepared and know your truck, how to handle it, and what lies ahead. Sometime when I have the chance I will video more of the ride. By the time I got into most of the pulling/downhill grades I had lost most of my light.
Driving Around Trucks-Aggressive Driving
Mar. 15 2011
I found this on a friend of mines facebook page (Thanks Tonka!). This is a really, really nice piece from the news media, and a great look at what happens to truck drivers daily and usually many times a day! Thought it might interest some of you!
So You Want to Own a Truck?
Feb. 23 2011
The one thing that I really wanted to do when I first started this blog was to show the general public that I myself and a great share of the truck drivers on our highways are not uneducated flunkeys just driving a truck. I wanted to show that even though there are a lot of people driving trucks because they are nothing more than a warm body holding a steering wheel for large companies like Swift, JB Hunt, CRST, Prime, CR England and so many more, we as a group, especially the Owner Operators are business owners just
Trouble
Feb. 18 2011
Please forgive my lack of being here as of late. I've been having problems with Rosie and right now I am sitting in Phoenix having a lot of work put into her. It happens with trucks. It's to be expected, but you always hope it's going to be many more miles down the road that you have to put major work into your truck. Rosie has been very good to me so really I can not complain one bit. And by this afternoon she will be ready to roll again and stronger than ever! I'm excited for sure, until I have to pay the bill which
