Truck Stop #4

Aug. 20 2010

Savoy Truck Stop- Deming NM I love this place. For a few reasons really, but mostly because so far it has the cheapest fuel in New Mexico that I have found. Above and beyond that though, they have good staff, a very clean facility, small chrome shop, a tire shop, a nice restaurant by the looks of it (I haven't taken the time to dine in), and on top of my list, clean showers! The shower rooms feature a spa like atmosphere. Lastly, the other reason I like this place is because it still has some old time trucking

Truck-stop #1

*Just a note: I'm moving a few things around on the new website, so a some things may be reruns until I get everything where I want it! Thank you! My first truck stop I want to feature is probably one of my favorites!! I hate to say it, but the showers at Sapp Bros. Truck stop in Fremont Nebraska are WAY better than even my shower at home! This is a very nice little truck stop that I go out of my way to stop at! The employees treat you like gold, are more than helpful and willing to go out of their way to see that you

I’m Loving…. And Hating

A few things this week and Nogales is on the bottom of my list! Since I've had a shit load of time on my hands today I thought I'd share some of the loving with you! Lara bars were suggested to me by Annabelle and I just had to try them. Actually I think I ordered them the very same day she told me about them! If you want something sweet but good for you, these are it! They have a TON of flavors for every- body. I think it took me like an hour to choose which flavor I was going to get! Really, I'm a terrible decision

Thought I'd give you a little (very little) glimpse into the world of living in a flat-top Peterbilt. This is how I live my life on the road, it's just a quick tour around the inside of Rosie. If anyone is wondering where they can find the duvet cover I have you can find it here! I love it!! Living in a truck does not have to be done without style and class!

Truck Stops 101

Apr. 15 2010

I'm going to start a new page here at One Girl Trucking on Truck-stop facilities. As most drivers know a good truck stop these days can be hard to find. Some of you that are newer to the industry may not know the difference, but if you've been out here a while you will remember the good old truck-stops that actually accommodated truckers, not RV's and traveling folks with their kids.... And before anyone huffs about it, trust me, there is a difference! These days a good truck stop is hard to find, a clean shower is

Looking Pretty

Nov. 15 2009

So, I just got back from California. I stopped at the house last night long enough to have 2 drinks, make a homemade pizza for my husband and sleep in my own bed a few hours. Now I'm in Minneapolis, just unloaded my tomatoes and I'm waiting to head south to pick up another load in the morning going back to the house. While in beautiful sunny California I had my truck polished out at Little Sisters Truck Wash in Hesperia. The guys did a great job making Rosie look fabulous! Since there is more to trucking than just

How I live

Oct. 26 2009

One thing I want to do with this blog is show people how truckers live in trucks. Since I'm sitting in Texas and it's raining out I thought I'd take the time to shoot a few photos of Rosie and how I live. This is the cab view. It's what I look at all day or night long. Rosie has 21 gauges that tell me oil pressure, speed, RPM's, fuel levels, fuel pressure, voltage, air pressure, oil temperature, and most everything in between that I need to know as to how my engine is running. She also has 20 switches that run lights

The Essence of She

Aug. 19 2009

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 I was going to be as good as my grandfather, and the third was that I would some day be an owner operator. I have got them all for the most part. But there is always room for improvement! I grew up in a trucking family and ever since I was little I
