Some Trucking Pics







Here are a few photos that I picked out to show you.

1. Eisenhower Tunnel in Colorado - Over 1 mile long inside the mountain!

2-4. California Winds and Wild Fires 2007 - Notice in the 4th picture that the fire was right next to the freeway on the left. When I passed that area, the fire jumped over my truck and started a fire on the right side too!

5. The "Shoe" Tree - Located in Northern Nevada, this tree is famous because people throw their shoes in it!

6. Sunrise in Cedar City, UT - This is the town I live in.

My Truck!




So i thought i would show you what my truck looks like. I have included pictures of both the outside and inside. When I am driving, I can be away from home for 2 or 3 weeks so I need a place to sleep, a place to keep some clean clothes and a place to keep some food. One of the pictures shows what my bed looks like. It is right behind the drivers seat. I have a small table there as well where I keep my magazines and put my computer on. There is also a closet that you cannot see in these pictures for my clothes and cabinets for other stuff that I carry on the truck.

I included a picture of what it looks like from behind the drivers seat looking out the window. I keep stuff that I need while driving on the big dash in front of me. Can you name some of the stuff in that picture and guess what it is and how I might use it while driving?

My truck has the power of 425 horses...that's a lot of power! In fact, i can pull over 80,000 pounds down the highway!
