Here I am, in Montana. I have had signal all day long on Montana. Weak on parts like in the mountains, but most of the state has digial signal... go Montana! Nice! This area of the stated I have never run before this time. I had run on the south most of the times I been to Montana. But is wonderful. And not as full of "painful" mountains for trucks! Of course, I am still light, with just 11,000 plus pounds, no maintain can detain me! hahahaha...... read more

This is the first time I am running on North Dakota. Another "dead zone" for my cell phone. But the view is exiting. Very beautifull. Again, no photos becuase of the battery issue! Videos will come soon... hopefully.... read more

Yesterday night, I pick up a load going to Hermiston, Oregon, headed afterward (empty) to Portland, OR. The load came off a customer two or three blocks down the road from the customer I delivered the previous load. That was a first for me. As was been in Minnesota. Now, most of the pictures I got are on video tape, so I will probably add them later as I edit the video. I ran out of batteries for the camera (still camera) and kept on going with the video. I wanted to get home... :) So, for now, all I give you is the route I took. See you down the road... ... read more

Finally, I delivered the load at De Pere, WI, south of Green Bay. Beautiful area. Never been here bofore. I had to drive straight through the middle of Chicago, which is never fun. I really don't like driving an 18 wheeler on that city. I do anything to stay away from it! But, good news is that I got my assignment of load headed to Oregon finally, so... " mama, mama I'm going hooooooome..." oops, another song... they keep chasing me!... read more

The second day and third, I went tru what I call, the 800 miles dead zone; no digial cell phone signal! hehehehe... Any way, I got to see land that I have not seen for over 4 years. I forgot how tough is to live in Wyoming and Nebraska. These are lands of real cowboys. You have to be one to survive the winters here! hehehehe... Most cities in this area of the country are wide apart in distance, like 100 miles in between. For instance, Wyoming is 401 miles on I-80 and Nebraska is 458 give or take one mile. Of course, the "dead zone" really starts in Utah on the canyon of I-84... So is really about 900 miles!!! hehehehe... Well, lets see what Iowa has in store for me tomorrow! Good night to ... read more
