All Day And No Load

All day of sitting and refreshing loads turns up nothing but cheap freight! Why are Hollywood actors and sports players worth millions to entertain us but its not worth $2.00 a mile to get your food and goods delivered to you?? Things needed to survive versus things to amuse us? Hmm? What the hell do I know? Well looks hopeless sitting here too long so even though I am tired I am going to head to the home 20 and try and get a few things done around there.

Finished, Chandler, Arizona To Lakeland, Florida


There's another load delivered. This picture is a little late, should have been here at the start of the trip but just got everything up and running right.

The Holidays Are Over

The holidays are now but just a memory. The final day before everyone gets back to the same old grind. Me?,...... I never left it. I spent my days sitting and waiting........ wondering if I would get another load,...... but I have to say, this has really been my best -Christmas and New Years holiday ever.

I am not good at saying what I am thinking or feeling but this is as close as I can get. My time was spent away from home, family, friends, even familiar places. But it was not spent alone. Alone in the physical sense, yes, like having someone to touch, hold, kiss. But I was with the one I love almost the entire time. Yes I had to see her on a 15 inch screen, but we ate together, talked, laughed, even slept together. She got to hear me snore in her ear and I got to fall asleep to the sound of her breathing.

My holiday was fantabulous!!! Thank you Ivy for being there for me and not letting me spend it alone. I love you hun, always. Hope next year I can feel your breath and hear it at the same time.

All Fixed And Rolling Again

I had a real good road service company come out and get me fixed up and rolling in about 7 hours from the time it happened until I was back on the road. Pretty good time for a repair like that. This is what the repair looks like.
This is the HEAVY load that was being hauled at the time.


What A Way To Start The New Year!

This is what the wheel and tire should look like.This one also.
This is what happens after a fire.
As is this one from a little further away.
Left Tucson this evening headed for Florida. Was listening to them dropping the ball in New York City to ring in the new year when I noticed flames coming from my trailer. This is what I found.
