I’ve seen a few crazy things out on the road, but I think this is the first time I’ve seen a trucker driving the wrong way!

This evening, after picking up our next load, we’ll watch in awe as another truck driver rolls over a curb and a median to make a left hand turn out of a truck stop.

Delivering Macaroni

Today, we’re delivering our load of elbow macaroni to Hillsboro, Oregon near Portland.

We have about three hours of driving to get to the delivery location, but we have to cross Portland, so that could get crazy.

Picking Up Tissue Paper

After making delivery, we’ll head north to Saint Helens to pick up a load of tissue paper rolls to take to Kingman, Arizona.
