Cabinets, Cabinets...and More Cabinets!

Hey Kids,

Can you guess what my load is? Right! Well, I gave you a big clue in the title of this post didn't I? Let me tell you i had to work on this load! This load is what they call "driver assist". Now that means that I "assist" in unloading the truck. Usually not a big problem, and I get my exercise which is good. But take a look at the picture of all the boxes on the ground! I unloaded those and there are some that are NOT in that picture that were taken the the warehouse behind in the picture. It was only 12,000 pounds of cabinets!

The picture of the boxes in my trailer are what are left after I finished with the first stop. I have two more stops on Monday; one in Fullerton, CA at 8am and the other a bit closer to you in Santa Maria, CA at 1pm.

By the way, these are cabinets that you would find in your kitchen. Some were big and others bigger...perhaps a few small ones :)

I had to maneuver my truck into a difficult position for the unloading at the first stop. I have a picture of that as well for you to see. The last picture is of the TV room at the truck stop I stayed at in Arizona over the weekend.

Have a great day kids!

New Features on My Blog!

Key Kids,

I have put a few things on my blog that I think you will like. I don't always get to blog like I want to due to my schedule or problems finding Internet service. Most times when I do get the chance, I have to try and catch up and I always miss stuff.

If you look to the right of my blog at the top, you will see "Twitter Update". This is real cool because I can text right from my phone and update you with what I am doing NOW instead of waiting days! The most recent comment will be posted and at the end of the comment will be a note to say how long ago I sent the message. If you want to see more Twitter updates from me, click on "follow me on Twitter" and you will see all of my recent updates.

Below Twitter Update I have placed a slide show photo album of my most recent trucking pictures. There are so many pictures that you have not seen and this is a good way for me to show all of my trucking pictures to you. If you want to see the whole album right away rather than just the small slideshow, just click on the picture itself. This album updates as I add pictures, so be sure to take a few minutes each time you visit my blog to see the new pictures in the slide show.

I hope you like the changes kids! Have Ms Sison help you if you are confused and she will explain it to you. Be good!

45,500 lbs of Recycling Material

Hey Kids,

I had over 45,000 pounds of recycling material I picked up in Las Vegas yesterday and delivered to Los Angeles this morning. I took a picture of the material in my truck, and the plant where I dropped it off. That is my trailer you see in the picture. I had to take my truck off of the trailer because the plant was small and my truck would have blocked everything if I kept it connected.

Did you know that old car tires are recycled to build roads? They cut the tires up into tiny pieces and then mix the rubber in with other materials to build many roads here in the US.

The other picture I am including is the sunset on Sunday in Barstow, CA at the Flying J truck stop. So...I have 2 questions for you;

Can you tell me what kinds of material can be recycled?

Why do you think it is important that we recycle as much as we can?

I hope you had a great Easter holiday kids! I will talk to you soon!

Just 1 More Photo

Hey Kids,

Just one more photo of the girls a few weeks ago when I was home. This was at Dairy Queen. Kimi is on the left, Kaity is next with Kasie next to the window (she had a funny face). Of course that is Kristi on the right...taking a nap. She woke up later and ate everyone's french fries :)

Kristi the Rock Star!

Hey Kids,

I just had to share this photo of Kristi that my wife took a few days ago. She looks like a rock star! And look at that smile! Kristi will be 2 on July 5th.

I'm Still Here Kids!

This has been a VERY busy few weeks for me! It seemed that anytime I had a chance to update you on my travels, the Internet service where I was at was very slow or not working.

This is just a quick note to say I am sorry and that I am okay. By the time you come to school on Monday, I should have a few posts and some pics ready for you to see. I will be sure to tell you about the cool stuff I have hauled and some of my experiences over the past 3 weeks. I also have some great pictures to show you.

Be good kids. Remember to check back next week for the updates!

Blessings,
TruckerTony
