#1Results of a truck and police car kissing each other is neither romantic nor pretty. 


#2
Amazingly the trees and bushes didn't catch fire when it had a truck and trailer go up in flames just 10ft away. Aftermath of the fire ended in the whole cargo turning in to charcoal and remaining parts of the truck was just the frame sitting on the pavement. 

Good morning Tennessee.

Just another day on the road...

Wednesday night mtg in Atlanta, GA.
cant get any better than this.


Starting in Middletown, Pennsylvania with a load of FED EX to Salt Lake City, Utah, then they dropped and picked up a new load of FEX EX and headed to Corley, Georgia.  Then in Corley, Georgia, they dropped that load and picked up another FED EX load for Baltimore, Maryland.  All of these were FED EX Loads.   The idea was that this assignment would be a steady and consistent with good routes.  However the drop dates and the pick up dates sometimes were not smooth enough, causing for two or three days lay overs at the drop destination.  This is not good for a driver operator, as they are not paid for the down time, and very difficult to pick up short delivery loads in those areas.  

Load #8

The Two Truckers found a load that was:
                                  From: Williamsport, Pennsylvania  
                                  To:   Seattle, Washington
                                  Then 
                                  To:  the Portland, Oregon area for two drops there.

Yet another wonderful Sunday mtg. This time in Kimball, NE and actually the 2nd time around. Last time was union for July of 2012. It was great to be back there again. 

Now westbound hammer down.



Tomo is NOW starting his NEXT new adventure as a driver for a owner operator. Tomo finished up his time driving the Big Blue Peterbilt for the driver that broke his leg at the beginning of December.  He headed back up to Washington to take care of some unfinished business.  Tomo spent the remaining part of December and first of January in Washington having the joy of experiencing the extraction of his FOUR wisdom teeth in one shot.  He was fully medicated and so the operation went off well, much better than he had been warned about.  During this down time, Tomo and his buddy Larry decided that they would begin team driving again.  From mid January to mid February, the boys worked hard crossing the States delivering for FedEx as well as some other companies.  Luckily they were in the southern parts of the US during the snowy periods.   With Larry driving days and Tomo driving nights, they were keeping the Baby Blue Truck going.   It was a busy month and Larry realized that he would be better back driving for a company than being his own operater.   So that lead up to the decision for Tomo to buy Larry Baby Blue Truck and set up his own ONE MAN operation!!
