I've created this blog to allow my family and friends to see some of the places and things I have found interesting in my daily travels. I hope this gives you a glimpse into my life as an over-the-road truck driver.

Ice

After the snow of New York I delivered some farm equipment to Texas. I had delivered a stop in Waco on Friday afternoon, with the next stop going to El Paso for Monday. It was oversized so I could not drive at night. There was a good truck stop ther in Waco so I spent the night there and started to leave Saturday morning. As I got out on the road I keep hearing my radio antena hitting the side of my truck. There is only thing that will cause this. ICE not good. I am on a two lane road with no place to stop. It is a lite mist of rain that is freezing. Ice begins to build up on the windshield and also my mirrows. I come up onto a couple of accidents where the bridges are freezing over and cars are slipping off the road. I make it on over to the Interstate and a truck stop and call it a day. The next day I am able to go on over to El Paso with out any problems.
