Pet Food to Davenport, Iowa


Hey Kids,

I picked up a load of pet food in Spanish Fork, UT going to Davenport, IA. It is only 14,000 pounds which is a light load, so I made good time getting to Nestle/Purina in Iowa. When I got there, I dropped my loaded trailer at an unloading door and picked up an empty trailer they had finished unloading and left.

I have been at a few truck stops the past few days and will be leaving for Illinois today (Sunday). Actually, Davenport, IA is right on the border of Iowa and Illinois, and I only need to go about 110 miles into Illinois to where I need to be on Monday. A highlight on my trip today will be going over a very big and famous river.

Can you look at the map on the border of Iowa and Illinois and see what river I will be crossing over?

I will try and get a picture for you when I cross the river. It is really pretty and the bridges are nice too.

The pictures I have included with this post show the sign to the World's Largest Truck Stop - the Iowa 80 located in Walcott, IA. There are a few pictures of the landscape of Iowa which I think is very pretty. The picture of the freeway signs was taken just as I crossed into Iowa from Nebraska. I thought it was neat showing the different cities I could go to.

Okay kids, have a great day and be sure to ask any questions or make comments on my blog if you have time.

Blessings,
~TruckerTony

    Hi Anon,

    Not sure when I will be in California. I am going to try and head back east to Salt Lake City, UT then head south to Cedar City, UT for a few days at home.
