welcome to my blog....i've wanted to start one for along time now, and was inspired by a facebook friend and fellow truckdriver to jump in and give it a try.....i hope you enjoy riding along with us from day to day....."us" includes me, ruth ann....my husband, brad and our "alternative child" , a 9 & 1/2 lb min pin named babygirl......we drive a tractor and trailer for us xpress, a fairly large trucking company based out of chattanooga, tn and we run all 48 contiguous states and canada, hauling a variety of freight from fed ex to electronics to farm equipment to farm products to victoria's secret....very diverse....always interesting.......

today we are running thru pennsylvania on our way to cincinnati, ohio. ...we loaded in swedesboro, nj.....this is a light load, about 20,000 lbs. and we are always happy about that!....we have been in alot of snow lately and although the roads are clear, the temperature keeps dropping...(it's down to a balmy 18 right now) and we have snow flurries....

we've been riding along listening to all the inauguration events on cnn.....this is some day for america.....i say that, not because i'm a big obama supporter, but because i am 'so not' a bush fan......i am happy to see a democrat back in the white house.....he was not my choice....i'm still a hillary girl....but we have him now .....and i hope that everyone will pray for his success at keeping even half of what he has promised to do for our country.....i am willing to tuck away my misgivings about him for now and give him the benefit of the doubt and a chance to prove that he is more than just a good line of rhetoric......i believe it is our responsibility, as americans, to offer up our support with an open mind and a faithful heart to our leaders, as well as it is also our reponsibility to keep vigil that they remain honest and true to the promises they made to us.....
however it plays out, it is certain that the next four years will be an interesting ride.......
