I'm back with an update!!!

I'm back from my first two weeks out alone solo, well almost. I arrived here in sactown a day early so that I could go home for awhile and take a real shower finally. I'm not going to sleep here tonight but rather in my truck so that I can wake up bright and early at 4am and deliver to three costco stores in the sacramento area. Then it's back to the yard and I'll be off for a couple days of hometime. I've experienced so many things in the last two weeks. I have way to many stories to share so I'll just leave the pictures to tell a story. So far I've been to Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Pheonix, Las Vegas, Reno, Fontana, Bend and so many other cities in just two short weeks!

During my first trip alone I recieved a message on my computer to call a person in the Meford Terminal. He's pretty high up in the company I understand and I was extremely nervous to call him but when I did it was to say that he was given this address to my blog from another employee and I was shocked to hear that! He gave me some suggestions to change my blog a bit so I'm going to be trying some new things out.

Sorry about the real lack of updates. When I'm done driving for the day I'm pooped. I usually walk around the truck stop a bit, grab a bite or make a sandwich, watch some tv and I usually pass out even before turning off the lights ( I hate it when that happens) My plan is once I can afford a new laptop I'm going to purchase one along with an internet plan to allow me to be on the web from the side of the road or anywhere I want really. Most truck stops do have the internet but it's pricey.

Anyways, check out the photos and be sure to leave a comment!



My baby, I mean my truck parked a little bit outside of Bend Oregon about 2 weeks ago.


All of my supplies and since this photo I've added so many new things... Trucking is expensive and it's not even my truck!


Heading out of Bend Oregon. Gotta love the red dirt oregon uses on it's snowy roads. Ruined my spotless truck =(


Had a bit of free time so I polished my wheels.


Just south of San Louis Obispo on 101 I had a couple hours to kill so I pulled off the road right on the ocean. It was so pretty and was way better than a truckstop. Nothing like stopping just feet from the ocean waves.


Here I am about 100 feet from my truck. I sat here for almost an hour. I saw a couple seals and right before I left I saw a whale. I didn't really know what it was until it came up for air and the "hump" of the whale... Made my day


I'd like to come back here one day...


This sign conviently placed in a truckstop in Vegas... I sure this sign has sold TONS of burgers...


I took a reset in Las Vegas. I stayed in the Wild Wild West truckstop/hotel/restraunt across the freeway from the Strip. It gave me something to do for 34 hours but resulted in me losing a bunch of money... doh! Lesson learned, The small casinos pay a lot more than the big ones on the strip!


Yesterday morning cruising from Eugene,OR to Portland.


Got Windmills? On I-15 cruising through Southern California on the way to Las Vegas.


Snowing earlier this week heading on 58 through Oregon


Outside of Susanville,CA heading north on 395. Beautiful country out there...


Aways outside of vegas near Area 51.


Pretty much out in the middle of no where in the Nevada desert. I drove for over 200 miles without sealing anyone!


This is what Kingman, AZ looks like at 2:30am...


Pretty much the ultimate Truck/RV out there... droooooooool.


That's it for now... Check back as I will be updating another time before I leave next week...

Over and Out,

Chris
