What did I tell ya?

I'm off of Interstate 5 and in Idaho and guess what that means? I have INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!! It's been so long since I've updated my blog, I've been getting emails and phone calls, well, just one call from tracy, but still! I am here now so don't freak out...


I picked up my load at S.C. Johnson in Woodland,CA loaded with OFF Bug Spray and ant pesticides ( wow, how exciting!) which I will be delivering to the Albertsons Grocery Distribution center here in Meridian, ID right outside of Boise. Supposedly I'm picking up a load of Sugar (HEAVY!!!!) and taking it San Francisco but that will be another blog entry. Not much to say but I do have a lot of photos to post so enjoy!




A couple weeks ago Olivia came with me for a two day trip down to Los Angeles. It was her first time in the truck and hopefully not the last! This wonderful photo was taken by Olivia traveling along 5 just south of Stockton.




Heres olivia tired of seeing endless crop fields haha




Our reflection in Buena Vista,CA.





Some girl trying to get into my truck...



After going home for hometime and dropping olivia at home I headed out to Flagstaff, AZ. Along I-40 theres this house that looks like a space ship.





Heading east on I-40 towards Arizona.





Going westbound from an eastbound turn around.




I picked up a load of Nestle-Purina Dogfood from Flagstaff in a reefer trailer. All of gordons reefer trailers are Air ride which makes for one nice and smooth ride. The trailer doesn't throw the truck around over the bumps like a normal spring suspension trailer does.




This is the front of a reefer trailer which cools the inside. It can keep ice cream frozen for a cross country trip or keep certain products that can't get warm inside a dry trailer stay cool like camera film etc.



The sun rising just east of Reno, Nevada this morning.




Yesterday in Oregon it was field burn day... These fires were not very big but the smoke was incredible...




Right up and next to one of the bigger fires...




The Clackamas (portland) Oregon gordon yard...




A couple hours ago about 40 miles from here. Stopped at the brake check area before coming down the hill in Boise,ID.

HA HA HA!!!! I just got off the phone and was complaining to Liv about how you can be on Myspace and not update your blog... You are lucky that you updated it because I was going to call and give you another ear full :)
Pics are great,not as good as the ones that you could be getting at the princess birthday party but oh well I guess I will have to dress them up and have another cake or something when you get home hee hee hee You can never have too much cake :)
Ok man... Have a safe trip home and we can't wait to see you!
