Crossing The Border - U.S. to Mexico

Posted 09.08.2008 at 10.39 PM by TrooperRat
Another tale from my past. I was a missionary. I did many things in trucks - that - probably weren't really the smartest thing to do.
One of them was to cross from the U.S. into Mexico the "back way".
It just happened one day - somebody came back to our yard and said they had found a back way into Mexico. Nobody bothered them going in there and they freely accessed the city of Juarez.
So began our frequent use of this back way.
It wasn't meant as a way...

Grandma married to a Grandpa Trucker

Posted 09.08.2008 at 07.25 PM by kandygrl4evr
I'm a new truckers wife. I met my husband 16 years ago and he was cooking at the time. Not much money in that so he decided to get his CDL again after not trucking for 20 years. He worked about 3 year hauling gravel and equipment local but this was only seasonal. In August 2008 he went to work for swift OTR. It has been a big adjustment for all of us. In 4 years our last child will graduate and then I would like to retire from my nursing job and go OTR with him as much as I can. I've never been...

Hubby and his Tools

Posted 09.07.2008 at 02.06 PM by Cybergal
It is mind boggling how ones husband can adore, love, enjoy, admire tools.

For my husband it is truly..."Tool Time"...whenever he has the chance to, what he calls..."Tinker".

The garage is not that far from the house and you would think that he would hear me calling him for dinner...NOT!

He had some air compressor running and some other machines going and even if I were to ask what he was doing, I could never possibly understand his explanation....

Update on First Truck Ride

Posted 09.06.2008 at 07.12 PM by ParkRanger
I'm not sure I gave a graphic enough impression on what it is to drive a big truck with a big trailer on the road for my first time. For those of you that have been there I hope you can remember it, and for those of you who haven't, here it is.

First, I'm nervous about keeping this big thing between the lines, and shifting (double clutching, rangemaster up and down, etc.), watching those huge mirrors, watching all those gauges, and such. TOO MUCH TO DO! But keeping it between the lines...

Do You Ever Wonder

Posted 09.06.2008 at 10.29 AM by TrooperRat
I don't work weekends. I have volunteered to at my company for extra hours, but nothing has materialized yet (though it's hardly a bummer in any sense of the word, I wouldn't mind some weekend work once in a while). So, I'm sitting here, at home, at my computer desk, drinking coffee and musing over the things I read on this particular site.

So many people wanting to get into the trucking industry, and so many people already in the trucking industry - wanting to get out. And even...
