More Trucking

Thursday

Well, what an interesting time! Tue. We traveled to the big city of Philly,Pa. Did you know that it has a lot and I mean lot of low bridges? Well we found one near our destination. We had to get in touch with the local police to direct traffic while we maneuvered to get out of the situation. The policeman was most helpful. He even told us where there was a K-mart that we could park overnight.
You won’t believe this but I am typing this blog while Ted is driving. That is a new experience. Typing while bouncing over the road is a real challenge. We are in Iowa now headed west, just like Horrace Greeley said.
We stopped at the largest truck stop in the world early this morning. It has about 4 levels to it. If you can’t find what you want there it ain’t for sale.
I saw a bumper sticker yesterday that said “save the ta tas.” I thought that was amusing. It could also be a breast cancer ad.
While traveling to pick up our current load that we are taking to Green River WY., we were delayed by a terrible accident. A semi and a SUV tangled and you know who won. The SUV was on its side under the truck and in front of the tandum (last set of wheels). When we past the wreck, my heart sank. It was a Werner truck. I don’t know whose fault it was but if the driver of the SUV survived it was a miracle.
