We're Back to Work and now in Salt Lake City, UT

Wow, what a vacation. Busy, busy, busy but very rewarding. We spent the first week, from the 14th to the 19th or so, catching up on things at home. Collecting the mail, making emergency well repairs, again, and finding someone to mow the unkept mess that we call a lawn.

The second week, at least the first part of the week was spent getting ready for the "Restoring Honor" rally in D.C.. Words are inadequate to make known the true impact of this event. The estimates as seen in the Lame stream media of 87000 to 300,000 are absolutely ludicrous.

Though I have no experience or hidden abilities to count or estimate a crowd size, I can tell you that I think even I can tell the difference between 87000 "normal roamers" on the mall and what is to be believed as well over 600,000 attendees standing around enjoying an onstage event. Never the less, here are some pictures so that you can decide for yourself.




While we were away from home for the rally, we stayed at a lodge type resort in Gordonsville VA, about 90 miles or so south of D.C.. This lodge was amazing. We had with us my sister, her husband and a long time friend and his wife. We rented a 2 bedroom 2 bath log cabin with a hide-a-bed couch at the resort which was called "Shenandoah Crossing". Man, what a beautiful, well kept, scenic, even all inclusive resort.

The top picture is of one of the three pool areas. Obviously, this is one of the outside area, but there also 2 others and they have indoor pool areas as well.

The next photo is the view from our living room area at or near sunset. We had a screened in deck with a barbecue, a full kitchen, all the amenities for which you could ask. The third picture down is a picture of the outside of the cabin we rented. Honestly, this place was phenomenal. We could not have asked for a better place to stay, or for better company with which to spend our week of solitude. An entire week of no truck talk, very little political talk, no work, no worries other than where to go, what to eat, who's historical home site to visit, and where to spend next years time off.

We met some great people in and around Gordonsville VA and Charlottesville VA area while we were there visiting Thomas Jefferson's palatial estate and James Monroe's place as well. It seemed that everywhere we went, we met and spoke to several people that were going to attend the "Restoring Honor" rally in D.C.. Even though we were at least 90 miles from D.C., there was no shortage of God fearing, Bible toting, America loving Patriots ready for an amazing day of "Restoring Honor".

We met Charles F Knight and his wife of Cedar Log Systems who came all the way from Colorado to be at the rally. Again, even 90miles south of D.C., it was as if everyone we visited with came for the rally on Saturday.

The third picture here is a picture in this group of a couple of young ladies we met while touring Thomas Jefferson's home in Charlottesville VA. They are Alyssa on the left and Angie on the right. What a great couple of nice young ladies touring and learning about one of America's great founders and presidents.



On Sunday morning, after the rally on Saturday, it was time for us all to head our separate ways. Head for the house. After breakfast at the lodge restaurant, we, Tina and I, took the other four in our party to the airport in Charlottesville VA and we headed south in our rental van from Enterprise RAC. The other flew into St Louis and then drove the last 50 miles or so from there to their respective houses. Tina and I arrived home on Monday morning at about 0200 and went directly to bed. We needed a day or so to catch up on rest after our time in D.C..




Just like a punch to the jaw, it was back to reality, back to working on the truck, and getting things ready for another four months on the road. As stated in an earlier post, I had a lot of repairs and maintenance to perform on the 912 truck. I designed, built and installed a remote lube system for the rear suspension so that I no longer have to crawl around on the ground to lube the S-cam brackets and the slack adjusters, I had to replace the air drier filter, which turned into a fiasco all it's own. I had to repair the vent hose for the holding tank, repair the generator to run no matter how hot it gets outside, I changed the oil and filters and much, much more, including a hand wash.

I actually finally finished the majority of the work at about 0500 on Thursday morning, the 2nd. Now I could take Friday off, completely and enjoy my time on my own. Well, not exactly.

When we called dispatch on Wednesday to remind them of our would be readiness on Friday, they asked if we would leave early on Friday, empty move up to Jacksonville Fl and pull a load that night back to Orlando before leaving for Las Vegas on Saturday morning. We agreed, so that we could have the Las Vegas load on Saturday morning. We went and had our ritualistic last leisurely set down meal at about noon Friday and then came home and left the house for Jacksonville at about 1400.

The load from there to Orlando was ready at 2100 and off we went to Orlando after our pre-trip inspection. We arrived in Orlando at about midnight and went to bed to rest up for the trip to Vegas. Our load to Vegas was ready at 0500.

We had to make 3 fuel stops on the way to Vegas. We stopped in Reddick FL at the Petro and then Pearl MS and Albuquerque NM at the Flying J travel Plazas.

The heat in Vegas on Monday was borderline oppressive. At the heat of the day the temps topped 110 deg and there just is no shade...not that it would have made any difference. Incidentally, the repairs to the generator to make it run no matter how hot it was outside, completely unsuccessful but I'll keep trying.

We are now sitting in Salt Lake City UT. The weather is far more comfortable here than it was in Vegas. Currently, 1600 est it is about 60 deg. Brrrrr, I might need a jacket.

I have no idea to where we are headed from here. I'm sure we will know soon though. Our west coast dispatch is very much on the ball so they will get us moving soon.

As a quick programing note here. We have been invited to speak at a Tea Party event in Collinsville IL. at the American Legion Hall. We will be there, with the 912 Truck and it would be great to see some of my truck driving friends and area 9/12er's and Tea party Patriots alike.

I will be speaking on honor and honor in activism. I hope to see some of you there.

Working on the 9/12 Truck

We're back from D.C. and the amazing Restoring Honor rally. I have much to say so check back later this evening or in the morning. I have a lot of work to do on the truck in the next few days so I won't be writing until the evening.

On Vacation, a Much Needed, Hard Earned Vacation.

A week ago Friday, on the 13th, Tina and I came home for some time off. We were in Dallas with a pre-assigned load to Orlando when a call came that the load to Orlando had canceled and they wouldn't have anything available until the next evening. That just wasn't going to work so I hooked to an empty trailer and came home empty.


We stopped in Robertsdale Alabama and met the co-chair of the National 9/12 Project, Stephani Scruggs, so that she could see the 912 Truck. We have been talking online for over a year and never had a chance to meet. What an amazing young lady. Just more regular folk, trying to pull our Constitution from the inferno, put it back together from having gone the the "O"shredder and save what is left of our amazing country. She works hard and I hope she is recognized, at some point,for all the work she performs. She is truly one of the hardest working amazing Patriots in America. I don't mean to marginalize any of the work anybody is doing, Stephani is one of many with whom I've met, both online and in person, overr the last 18 months or so and they are ALL amazing folks.

We made our way to the house finally early on Saturday morning. The challenges of absentee home ownership are never ending. I had a well problem that had to be fixed immediately. After much digging, checking, and pressure testing, I found the pressure tank to have failed. I replaced the pressure tank and pressure control switch and all was well. Well, kind of. I still have a major leak underground but I can't seem to locate where the leak is. Short of starting at one end of a 100" water line and digging until I find the leak, I have no solution. The ground is so sandy here that the leak is apparently leaching down into the ground rather than manifesting itself above ground with a show of wet soil. We'll keep an eye on it and see what happens. I am really not up to digging up a 100' line. I mean..I'm just sayin'.

Tina and I are leaving today to go to Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally in Washington D.C.. We are going to Gordonsville VA to spend Thursday through Sunday with some friends and family at a lodge there. They are flying in from St Louis Mo on Thursday morning. We will drive up to the rally on Saturday morning and spend the day at the Lincoln Memorial. We also have plans to tour Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home and property on Friday. Past that, we have no plans.

We are very excited about the Rally. I can only hope that it is half as good as all the hype. I believe this is one of the major problems with America. Politicians have no honor and they want us to have none. The slow but steady widening of the "Overton Window" has eroded the values and principles in America to the point of little or no honor.

I will write more upon return from our trip. I hope to have lots of pictures and much to write.

While We Were in Denver the Other Day...Wait, We're There Again.

While we were in Denver Co last week and had a pretty big response to the truck. We were parked over at the Flying J Travel Plaza on Airport and had a parking place where everyone that came in and or went out through the fuel island or walking to the restaurant from the parking lot seen the truck. I pulled in the parking place as to show the rear of the truck where the "Bring Home The Politicians" logo is prominently displayed.

While we were sitting, at one point, I looked out the window of the truck and there was a group of about five folks gathered looking at and reading the truck and discussing the message('s) on the truck.

I was also able to get a few video clips of a few of them talking about the idea of an eCongress... The Bring Home the Politicians movement. I sent those clips to Michael Norbury, the founder of the latest BHTP movement, and he made a short video of the clips.


We got loaded at about 2300 Tuesday night and headed for Los Angeles CA. I had to go back out to the Flying J Travel Plaza for fuel before we could take off and while I was there another fellow came over and was reading the messages from the side of the truck. I asked him, Charlie, if he liked the message and his words were, "ain't no way to disagree with that, there ain't nothing wrong with that at all."

I asked Charlie if since he liked and agreed with the message on the truck if he wanted to sign it and he was obliged to proudly profess his support of the 9/12 Project and the messages on the 9/12 Truck with his signature.




From there we headed to LAX traveling West on I-70 then south on I-15. We arrived at our terminal at about 1900 on Wednesday evening and went to bed for a good nights sleep. We were there all day on the 29th and we were given a dispatch to Columbus OH for the wee hours of the morning on the 30th.

We were awakened about 0930 on the 30 and advised that the Columbus load had canceled and that they, dispatch, would be in touch shortly. At 1400 we took a call and we were asked to run an emergency load to San Diego and from there we could have a dispatch to Atlanta GA that evening. Begrudgingly, we accepted the assignment and off to San Diego we headed.

I just despise running up or down the California coast. Partly because the traffic ALWAYS sucks and partly because the more miles you run in California the more likely you are to be accosted by a California CMV enforcement officer looking to bail his state out of debt by landing the 1 lucky inspection of the most unsuspecting driver in the state, but I digress.

As usual we did hit traffic due to a broke down automobile on a tow truck at the side of the road. A full hour delay because these nosy folks had to know every detail, about the tow truck, I guess. Who really knows what goes through the heads of rubberneckers.

As we made our way on to San Diego, our terminal is near the football stadium, we jumped off the freeway at Friars Rd. While we were sitting at the light, at the end of the ramp, waiting to make the left turn onto Friars Rd a car came up beside us and was reading the truck, we get that a lot, and he made the trip to San Diego worth all the grief getting there with a thumbs up sign to report his support of the 9/12 Project and the message. Note to self...even in California, God will provide the strength and drive to move forward even when you least expect the encouragement.




We ran from San Diego to Atlanta, then back to Dallas TX and today, here we are back in Denver CO. While sitting here, parked in approximately the same place we were parked last week, again, the interest in the truck and the message thereon has been amazing. Some folks will talk and others just want to read quietly and leave. Here are a couple of amazing Patriots, Lean and Jake who both are drivers with MBM Corporation, and who chose to talk, and sign the truck to show their support of the 9/12 project.

From here tonight we are supposed to go back to Dallas. We will be traveling back down U.S.287. We should be back in Dallas on Thursday morning and we'll just have to wait and see what happens from there. I can only hope that the oppressive heat has subsided a bit. It was actually 108 Degrees here yesterday...in a shaded area.

On the" Weary Drivers" Article in the Star Tribune, oh and We are Headed to Columbus OH in the Morning

I need to make a few remarks about an article I read in the Star Tribune out of Minneapolis MN.

First, it is obvious, even to the most unintelligible among us, that this article was written by someone who has a severe bias against the highway freight transportation industry. Moreover, the author is unbelievably irresponsible with facts and chooses to do little, if any, research before his ramblings go into production. Jim Spencer is the author and is obviously on a one man mission to induce hatred toward the trucking industry.

Mr Spencer needs to understand that facts are funny little things. They hide in many places and seldom float to the top on their own. They do rise though when those of us who care are prompted by the consistent irresponsibility of the LSM...Lame Stream Media.

In the article, entitled "Weary truckers pose a highway threat" and subtitled "Recent crashes renew questions about the hazard of drivers who spend days on the road", the author spews his blatant disregard for facts in many places. I will, here, pontificate on only one or two of his idiotic remarks.

The first fact lacking statement is this;

Since 2005, when the U.S. Department of Transportation reduced driving time and increased hours off between shifts, the number of people killed in big truck crashes nationwide shrank steadily, from 5,240 in 2005 to 4,229 in 2008. In Minnesota, the number of deaths from big truck crashes rose and fell from 2005 to 2009, averaging 73 per year.

While things are headed in the right direction nationally, annual fatalities in big truck wrecks are still the equivalent of a jetliner crashing once a week, said Steve Keppler of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance.

"If that many plane crashes were happening," Keppler said, "people would be up in arms and the air traffic system would be shut down."

But trucks continue to roll, making tired drivers a concern.

Now the facts. The latest available facts I could find are from 2006 for the trucking industry. I'm quite sure later facts are available, but being the amateur I am, I don't know where they might be found.

In 2006 there were an estimated 2 million class 8 tractor/trailers on U.s highways. Those class 8 trucks drove an approximate 139.3 billion miles and there were approximately 3.5 million class 8 truck drivers. Incidentally, there are a total of approximately 200,000,000 , that's 2 hundred million total licensed drivers in the U.S..

More stubborn facts about ground transportation. There are approximately 200,000,000 total licensed drivers in the United States. Take out the 3.5 million commercial drivers and you have approximately 196.5 million, under-trained, overzealous, incompetent, stressed, irresponsible, late, hurried, angry, distracted, truck hating automobile drivers looking for a fight with anyone they can find.

Now on to the amazingly safe air transportation. 10.2 million flights, 7.3 billion miles, about 37000 planes per day and about 5000 in the sky over the U.S. at any given time on any given day.

Let's see, 7.3 billion miles per year in the air transportation industry compared to 139.3 billion miles with class 8 tractor trailers per year. Increase the miles operated by 19 times and certainly you would increase the number of accidents. Additionally, last I looked, there isn't 100 times the number of under-trained, overzealous, incompetent, stressed, irresponsible, late, hurried, angry, commercial airliner haters in the air at the same time. Again, there are only about 5000 airplanes at any given time on any given day in the air at the same time.

As commercial drivers we endure that count of other vehicles in 30-45 minutes in the large cities many times per day. We also don't kill hundreds in 1 fell swoop.

There are 41-45 thousand fatalities happen on U.S. roadways yearly, less than 20% of those are the fault of the commercial driver and about 4 percent of the 20% are fatigue related. Don't get me wrong, even 1 death is too many, but here again we have government trying to control something that is never 100% controllable, especially with the variable of 196.5 million others that have an indistinguishable effect on the statistics due to the way statistics are kept or at least the way they are stated.

It seems that a "truck related" death is indistinguishable from a "truck caused" death. That, in my mind, is an imperatively distinguishing factor that needs to be had. Why si that so important? Well let's see.

In 1980 M.A.D.D. figured out in quick order that the distinction between "alcohol related" and "alcohol caused" accidents was very important. Armed with this knowledge they set forth to change the facts that were reported. By changing the way accidents were reported they changed the perception of the motoring public about drinking and driving. I AM NOT ADVOCATING DRINKING AND DRIVING!!!!! I quit drinking over 12 years ago due to an addiction. I am, though, advocating honesty in facts and the reporting of those facts.

Anything anyone wants to attack is always attacked by changing the conversation. With M.A.D.D. they figured out they had to change the argument from "alcohol caused" to "alcohol related"

With the Tea Parties and the 9/12er's it is being changed from "Tea Party or 9/12 member violence" to "Tea Party or 9/12 group related violence" to marginalize and demean the movement.

With truck accidents Daphne Izer and her minions at P.A.T.T. have changed the verbiage from "truck caused crashes" or "fatigue caused crashes" to "truck or fatigue related crashes" Personally, I believe these changes are despicable. They can't make their argument on the facts so they change the way the facts are reported.

Government regulations are not going to stop drunk driving, fatigued driving, theft, spitting on the sidewalk, speeding, or any other nasty or dangerous activity. As a matter of fact, the only thing that will stop anything that is illegal or dangerous is back breaking, crippling fines or jail terms with no opportunity for negotiation. That goes for everything from hiring illegal aliens to selling dope.

We have enough laws and regulations on the books but with the compromising lawyers and judges negotiating cases at the bar, over a drink, there is little opportunity to stop most of these activities.

Allow me to add here that I believe M.A.D.D., P.A.T.T., C.R.A.S.H., and all other alphabet soup identified groups all started out with great intentions and amazing goals. I also believe that they have grown some great organizations. Further, though, I believe that in many cases the group has become the cause. What I mean by that is this. When they started they found a great cause, made a run for the goal, and in a few cases that I won't name individually, the groups existence has become dependent upon changing the goals.

I believe there is way too much government funding in these groups and therefore they must keep changing the goals to continue receiving support from the taxpayer. Yes, you the truck driver, are supporting, with your tax dollars much of the fight against you. I don't know if P.A.T.T. is receiving taxpayer money or not, I just don't care enough to look, but there are many groups fighting you that are receiving taxpayer money. You had better get involved in your future or your career will be in the past.

We arrived in La at about 1900 last night. Tired, strung out from the road, we had supper and headed for bed.

We got up early this morning, since we went to bed early, and took a walk for about 2 miles. It was rather cool but a great walk.

We sat around inside the truck the rest of the day, reading, watching mindless television, and visiting with friends on this computer. We made plans to make a visit to an old friend from 15 years or so ago tomorrow but now we will be leaving and won't get to make that visit. Oh well, next time I suppose.

Dispatch called at about 1635 this afternoon and offered us a choice of three loads. Newark NJ, Philadelphia PA, and Columbus OH. We opted for Columbus OH.

We will travel I-15 north to I-40 and run that to Nashville TN. In Nashville we will take I-65 to Louisville KY and then I-71 into Columbus OH. Assuming the load leaves on time, at 0500 tomorrow, we should be in Columbus OH on Saturday evening at about 1900. My guess is that it won't leave on time out of here though, it is almost never ready on time.

Sitting in Denver, Leaving for Los Angeles Tonight

A lot of time has passed since I last wrote. We have been to about 7 different cities and met talked with many Patriots throughout the country.

We have handed out about 35 pocket Constitutions and several copies of Glenn Beck's "Common Sense".




We are currently in Denver Co and have met many folks here. We Delivered here, in Denver, on Monday morning at British Airways and the truck/912 Message was a big hit there.



We were in Dallas TX on the the 20th and had a little grocery shopping we had to do for the truck. We headed over to the local Wal-Mart to do that shopping. While we were inside a someone had put a couple of business cards on our door. We found the cards upon returning to the truck. His name was Gregory Romeu. He is a former Marine and is currently an "Oath Keeper" and an amazing Patriot. If we ever find ourselves, God forbid, in an armed insurrection I'm going to wherever this guy is and taking him for my team. Gregory is pictured in the picture to the left.

We will be leaving here tonight to head for Los Angeles CA and should be there on Wednesday evening. We will simply travel I-70 west to I-15 south into Los Angeles. I look forward to getting out of Denver, though this is beautiful country.

We Went to Chicago Last Night

The phone rang a about 1515 yesterday and it was dispatch. They asked if we would take an empty trailer out of Columbus up to Chicago and then pull a load out of there back to Louisville KY.

We headed out, in search of an empty trailer, hooked and inspected and we were on our way. The load in Chicago, going to Louisville was to be ready at about 0100. We arrived in Chicago at about 2245 and the load was already loaded and ready to go.

After dropping our empty trailer and hooking to the loaded one we performed the required pre-trip inspection, drew a few lines in the log books and we were off to Louisville KY.

We made it to Louisville at about 0500, dropped the loaded trailer and went to bed for a nap. We finally got up at about 1000 when dispatch called and told us to hang in Louisville until this evening and we could pull a load back into the Columbus yard.

The load out of here is to be ready about 2030 this evening and we should be back into Columbus shortly after midnight. At this point, we have no idea to where we will go from there, but i am sure there will be freight to move.

I did see another billboard last night that I thought was rather interesting. This one is located in Indiana on I-70.









Another perk of driving a truck is that we get to see some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets in the world. Here is another fine example of just that...A beautiful sunset. I believe God shows us things like this from time to time to keep us humble as mere mortals. Who could possible look at this and believe that God doesn't exist. My goodness how the potters hands work is simply amazing.








A good friend of mine happened into the Atlanta yard while we were there the other day. This is Jose'. He and his wife Cece' started with this company at the same time Tina and I started. Yea, I know he dresses funny, like...I don't know...a girl I guess, but he is a pretty decent guy and has a great wife and a beautiful truck. Jose' is a very good fiend of mine and one of those people who just needs to be picked at all the time. He thrives on the constant commotion.
