The scenery (well at least the weather) has changed.
Oklahoma has been having ice-storms, Chicago has had lots of snow. Yesterday Steve was in -5 deg C (with snow), but now it's +21 deg C! |

Early park up?
Ya crazy? LOL. I am at 10hrs 33 minutes, 601 miles for the day. The max I can drive is 11 hours, and the next truckstop is 70 miles away so, i stop here for the night. Easy day tomorrow. I have about 450 or so miles to go, and this load does not deliver until 1130PM on Monday! I will see about dropping in our yard in Denver tomorrow, and if I am lucky, get another load that heads me back on Monday morning instead. Ya'll have fun riding with me today? |

Yes, I'm learning about your geography, climate (and truck 'parc' - that's not a spelling mistake, that's how we refer to what vehicles are being used).
I'm surprised how many full size big rigs there are (and how few shorter trucks) - though I realise you are mainly 'trunking'. Perhaps you can tell us how you feed yourself? |

Do you carry 'victuals' in your 'fridge and cook using a microwave oven or do you eat at roadside diners?
I understand that meals are much cheaper in the US than in the UK. UK truckers tend to economise by eating at transport cafes that serve fry-ups such as an all-day full english breakfast:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_breakfast (not many trucks have cooking facilities in their cabs). In consequence some truckers have 'unhealthy' diets that are high in cholesterol. Couple that with a sedate 'no-exercise' lifestyle and there is a tendency for many to be overweight (though maybe this is outdated now?). Salads aren't popular . . . Steaks aren't cheap here. Quote:
