Hello everybody! I'm going to be posting my updates from truck driving here as much as possible. I'll have photos, stories and other things that I will be putting on here so all of you can keep track of where I am and what I am doing. Be sure to keep coming back to check for my updates! - Chris

Summertime in the Gold Country...

It's HOTT, so hot I added another "T" because yes, it's that hot and I love it. (as long as I don't blow up my serpentine belt and leave me stranded on the side of the road for 5 hours!) Theres not a lot of new things happening around here, pretty much the same runs from the Mill to Customer and back. I went to the DMV to get my Hazmat endorsement. That doesn't mean I'm switching jobs from Local to OTR or even to another Local job, but it takes months to get background checks from the FBI and States to clear and then I'll recieve the new license. Around here, a lot of the better paying jobs require hazmat even though you might not haul hazmat all that often. Just looking into the future, ya know?




Welcome to my office.




Loaded up with White Fire Chips headed back to the Lincoln,CA Mill to be dumped and reloaded back onto rail cars to be shipped throughout the country.




That's me...




Almost perfect although not legal. Although it's a lot more legal than when I loaded last week, a whopping 92,000LBS. Let's just say I had to dump some off before I roll...doh!



Keep the shiny side up!
