Work with Willie Weekend

During a moment of anxiety. Originally uploaded by Adventures In Trucking Holy Cow! Is it hot and humid in Houston! We woke up this morning and took Willie for walk and it was like walking through a steam room. Everything we’ve read says Willie’s separation anxiety doesn’t get better with time. Our load that was going to keep us moving, canceled. We are probably here for at least the weekend. Whatever his problem is may not be from separation, since he goes nuts even when one of us is sitting right next to him. Then he started going nuts when [...More...]

 
More Pictures and Updates

Photos from the Alcan, mostly in British Columbia. Pink Mountain was more of a campground than a town. We parked in the parking lot of the general store with a restaurant across the street. Originally uploaded by Adventures In Trucking Our load changed. We’re not going to Portland for that team load to Wisconsin. Now, we are taking some stuff from UCLA to Texas A&M for Adidas. Stay there a few days, pick it up and take it back to LA. Then it looks like we will be dead heading to Minnesota from Vegas. We have to be there on [...More...]

 

Cindy’s in Minnesota, Wayne’s in Maryland loading for California

A little boring as we are staying in the truck for a few days while waiting for our freight that we delivered to Texas A&M on Wednesday morning.  We will be returning it to California after we reload on Saturday.  Since trucking has been slow we are not looking for a hotel to park the truck.  We will stay in the truck and take lots of walks with Willie.  We found a Mexican Restaurant next door and we had some strawberry margaritas and dinner.  I wish we would have brought the TV and some DVD’s but books, word puzzles and [...More...]

 

Finally out of the snow and extreme cold. I thought I was out of the snow last night, but I woke up this morning with snow on the windshield in West Virginia. After about 20 minutes of driving I came on to a wreck that had both directions shut down for 45 minutes. Rumor had it that a car spun out in front of a UPS freight truck, the truck hit the car or went into the median to avoid it, I don’t remember, but the UPS truck and trailers were on their sides in the median. After I crossed [...More...]

 
BMX Racing in Minnesota

The Gaudette Monster Truck sitting in center field. Originally uploaded by Adventures In Trucking After visiting family, it’s always nice to get back into our own routine. We might have a load tomorrow and we may not. But our home truck is back from the shop and ready to get back to work. We had a blast with the kids at the BMX races in Isanti, there were older kids and really older kids racing. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was a lot of fun. Willie was a handful with a house full of kids, another dog [...More...]

I want to take back that last post about it not being so bad up here in North Dakota. From weather.com Dangerous cold for some locations An arctic cold front will send an icy blast of frigid air into the northern Plains and Upper Midwest on Saturday. The front will be accompanied by light snow but strong winds can create ground blizzards. The front will sweep on through the Great Lakes area Saturday night. Temperatures will be as much as 30 degrees below average behind the front. Strong northwest winds, locally gusting over 50 mph, will move the exiting snow [...More...]
