Downtown SF,

Next to the Westin Hotel unloading sound and video equipment for some kind of show or conference. Notice, I’m NOT in the picture. Two teamsters inside the trailer and stage hands waiting at the tail to take equipment off and roll it inside the hotel. I hate driving downtown anywhere, but it is more of a challenge than the interstate and keeps things interesting! This time went pretty well both inbound and outbound and I went straight to my next load in Burlingame. Here are a few pictures of the Bay Bridge and a couple more downtown.

I’m in Kansas now waiting to get some “bonus” freight and then drive like heck to San Jose on my way back home to pick Cindy up.

Loading in Reno by Cindy

We arrived in Reno, NV Monday afternoon to pick-up a load Tuesday morning and begin our trip to Atlantic City, NJ. A few things have changed since then and so far all for the good. We are still in Reno waiting for the trailer to finish being loaded so we

A Movie Tavern

We're at the Flying J in Houston, about 15 miles north of downtown on I-45. Across the street is a small shopping center with a movie theater. Great! We walk across the street and went in and saw a bar. I'm a little disoriented looking for the popcorn and candy

Back to the Chicago Museum

We dropped off new sofas at the James Hotel in downtown Chicago where the side doors came in handy unloading on the sidewalk while the hotel staff carried them inside. I thought the exhibit we were hauling around was the Marvel Comic exhibit, but it's actually Modern Marvel Invent Now® Challenge

After spending the night at customs because the paperwork we were issued wasn't right, we finally delivered a bunch of office furniture to downtown Toronto on

Another Day, Another Truckstop

Okay, it's really another day, the same truck stop. This is probably a new record for waiting for a load. I was empty in northern New Jersey the 16th. over the weekend, then a week, then over the holiday weekend, I'm still here. There were a few possiblities, but none

Baltimore Skyline

The skyline from our tour boat on the Inner Harbor. The day we were there the Volvo Ocean Race was in port. It's a sailboat

United 93 movie

To back into this place we had to get turned around by going down a dead-end (by the baseball field) then backing through the intersection (with Cindy's help!) so I wouldn't have to blind side in. I actually had to backed in only blocking traffic for a few seconds. Then

San Francisco - what a great city. I can’t wait to return there. I must admit, having never driven a large truck (or a small one), I can’t imagine how tough driving on those hills would be!
