A Big Decision


Well I had an interesting phone call this past week. A trucking company out of Greeley CO has offer me a job.They have called me 3 Times this week. I told them I want to wait until after the holidays. It's a good deal what they are offering me,the only thing that making it a hard decision is that Dawnmarie can't go with me until I've been their for 6 months.



As soon as I make my Decision I'll let you know


Well we been to Idaho and went to Illinois We unloaded in Illinois and reloaded for New Jersey, We seen the Statue of Liberty in the distance. We try to get a picture but was too far away.

Now we are on our way to Glenwillow OH. We unload their in the morning,Then hopefully home

Another snowy day in Wyoming


Well we made it to Idaho and unloaded then reloaded for Rochelle IL. We made it back to Wyoming and hit a blizzard. Were got off the road at a safe place until it clears up.



On the way to Idaho I crossed through the west side of Yellowstone park which was interesting. didn't see no wild life but seen allot of beautiful scenery. When this snow clears up we need to get back on the road. I've got to be in Rochelle IL Friday morning by 2am. still got about 1100 miles to go
