Across this vast country of ours ..... the truckers keep rolling!!

July 1st, 2012


Stanfield, Oregon to Cleburne, Texas        Hauling:  Walmart Goods

South western Colorado at sunrise.....
900 more miles to Cleburne TX. Time for me to hit the sack.
Delivered in Cleburne TX at Walmart distribution center at 02:00 CST.

July 2nd




Morning traffic in Dallas.....
Construction going on everywhere...
Missed 2 exits in this condition above because.....
Mrs.GPS thinks she could give out wrong directions on a Monday morning....

I might consider marriage counseling for me and Mrs.GPS.... Things aren't going well recently.
Next load:
Pickup: Corsicana TX
Deliver: Fort Collins CO

Commodity: Home Depot goods.


Swapped with Larry at TX/OK state line and now time for me to go to bed.



Unloading the HOME DEPOT load

‎400miles to Fort Collins CO.
We already got our load out of CO.

Next load:
Pickup: Akron, CO
Deliver: Braselton, GA
Waiting to get loaded out with bird food
Commodity: Farming Supplies (I'm assuming...)
First time hitting GA! Looking forward to it.

Arrived at shipper.
Apparently the day before 4th of July ain't the best day to get loaded. The shippers trying to pack a lot out today..... 
Who knows when we're gonna get loaded.  And turns out our commodity is "Bird Food"...... Don't know what to say to that...

Half way in Kansas. Rest area in the middle of Kansas.
The view ain't gonna be different at all around here even when it lights up....
Sorry Kansas.


Well, done driving for the first half of Independence day.

Salute to all that gave, and to whom that gave all.

Soldiers protect this country.
Truckers move this country.

Proud and thankful being a citizen of this great country all my life, 

and to have a little part in moving this great great nation.
