What a disaster. Like Cindy mentioned in the last post, this originally happened from a bridge mishap in Queens, NYC. We made it under except for an extended weld point that put a scratch down the side of the roof. We got that repaired in New Jersey, but the 30 mph cross wind in Texas must have gotten under the repair and tore off three fourths of the roof.

It’s in the shop now and will be done Friday so we should be ready to roll after our vacation with the grandkids. Here’s a few more trailer pictures.

High Winds !!!

From Fort Worth to Las Vegas we encountered high winds and dust storms on our way back home. We finished loading late Friday nite and I was to start driving Saturday morning to Las Vegas. It was so windy I had both hands on the wheel with a

Waiting in Seattle

We delivered in British Columbia, Canada on Tuesday morning. There was suppose to be a crew but the installer didn't know we were coming and we had the wrong phone number for him. So the installer called the electrician and together with Wayne they unloaded the truck.

New Team Member

While we were unloading at our warehouse in Vegas a truck driver was trying to give away one of his dogs. In a moment of weakness, we went over to the truck stop to take a look. Willie is a seven month old miniature rat terrier, even though he looks

Trucking Part Time

The last few weeks have actually seemed like things are picking up. I actually had a few loads where I was empty one day and loaded the next. So at least I was kept fairly busy. The pay wasn't as much as it should have been for $4 a gallon

That New Truck Smell!

Picked up our new truck on Monday, finished our delivery in Wisconsin and Minneapolis then back to Sauk Rapids to fix a paint ding and a few minor things. The last truck was an "autoshift", technically not an automatic but close. This truck is also a 10-speed autoshift but no
