Sunday, June 24, 2007. The Final Week - Professional Truck Driver Training. After a few trips each we headed back to the range for one more stab at the straight line and 45 degree backing maneuvers. I felt good about it. good enough to call it a day when I was asked to determine the remainder of our scheduled class time. So off I went. homeward bound and bouncing off the walls with excitement about the test the next morning. By the time I was done with those two I knew I had it in the bag. I was about as...

Thursday, February 28, 2008. No, I'm not Jewish, but thanks to popular culture and over use of that coined Jewish phrase, I can use it. so there. I'm in rare form today. I've been on a wierd emotional roller coaster these past few days, partially due to whatever sickeness I endured for three freakin' days and partially due to the fact that.well. I'm a woman. I last left off sitting in Atlanta overnight, again. That's when I became stuck. On ice. I tried forward, reverse, forward again. 1st th...I couldn'...

Friday, November 30, 2007. What did I do? Somehow I've exhaused my Karma. I'm currently sitting in a hotel room in. yep. you guessed it. TEXAS. I had a good morning, I got a good start. I picked up my empty, headed over to get my load. Backed into a dock that upon first sight frightened me to death. But I nailed it and surprised myself, smiling all the while. I got loaded in about an hour, two hours less than anticipated and was on the road towards home. They sent out a roadside repair man to try to fix ...

Thursday, September 27, 2007. September 27, 2007 - Thursday. Well I'm stopped at the Indy OC for a lunch and rest break. Then it's on to Zanesville Ohio to drop the load I picked up yesterday evening in Green Bay. It's not been too bad, a nice light load actually so I can cruise up and down the hills with no problem. That makes me happy. So then I got on the road this morning after a nice hot shower and so far here I sit. I should be in Columbus in about 3 hours once I leave here and that's where I'l...

Saturday, June 28, 2008. I didn't imagine when I posted the bloggy. Earlier and said "I'd blog soon", that it'd be back in the same day. But here I am, compelled. I don't have anything interesting to say, really. Nothing in particular that brought me here to blog. I just felt compelled. Simply compelled. I suppose I could blog about the tragedy that occurred. That's sort of depressing though and I'm not at all interested in focusing on the death of a comedian (. RIP George, you'll be F'n. Com From coast ...

Sunday, March 30, 2008. I don't know why it had never occured to me to post pictures with my blogs. But thanks to a recent comment by Aaron the Truck Driver, I decided up load some of my personal favorites that I've been taking along the way to a photobucket account to share with you. Here's round one of pictures, with brief descriptions or stories to explain them for you. Enjoy! Well of course this is just me in my big rig. This was taken sometime. Sneak in a visit with him and his family. Sitting in tr...

Wednesday, April 16, 2008. I am hooked Smooshed Fruit. I found them at a convience store in rural West Virginia of all places and snatched up only two the first time around. Next time I was in the area I grabbed 6, and I have only one left. I have to save them for special moments when I really want a tasty treat. It's been very hard to ration them. Check it out.if you see it in a store, buy it and try it! I needed them for my sammiches. Plain wheat bread, mustard and sweet ham was good , but I needed...

Thursday, May 29, 2008. I prefer that the medal I receive for the last load I hauled before I went home to be made of solid gold. Pure solid gold. For I deserve it. I was nervous going into the load, knowing fairly well how potentially horrendous the route I had to take was going to be in a big truck. I was in for a lot more than I'd bargained for. My load wasn't exactly excessively heavy, but on 9% grades, up and down, it was a bit much. But let me start at the beginning. Haha But it could've been worse.

Sunday, May 20, 2007. Week Four - Professional Truck Driver Training. Well folks, I've made it to the halfway mark finally. Week four has ended on a good note and I'm glad to have next weekend off to catch up on much missed sleeping and "me" time. It's been four weeks and I'm still struggling with the early mornings. But I digress. We had 10 hours of doing that stuff yesterday. Hours. ten of them. long tedious hours. UGH! There is a lot of stuff to remember. And we have to know this stuff in 5 weeks!

Monday, October 22, 2007. Okay, so I have to admit Canada wasn't that bad this last time around. I found myself begging for Canada or hell. even Ohio after this last couple of days. Yes. even Ohio! I was assigned a load out of Elkton, MD after making my Canadian delivery down near Baltimore the other day. So after I dropped that load I hit the road north bound for Elkton on I-95. It was relatively easy to get there and I found the shipper fairly quickly that evening. So he sends me down the street to the...
