Wow.... What a weekend!!! The expo was fantastic!! Got great info at the classes and the instructors that volunteered their time to teach us all were top notch!! Women I trucking was especially fun. Linda and the gang were a blast. Jeanie and Henry were a constant laugh and the info was top notch. The atmosphere at the expo was like a class reunion where everyonealready knew each other and were just catching up on old times!
Anna, forever now known as Mrs.Freestuff, got all kinds of stuff from thedifferent venders. Even things that were not supposed to begiven away. They just kept handing her things. She managed a free blue tooth from TA, Dillon got a free leather wallet from Big Skinny Wallets, and than I managed to be the last ticket drawn at Casino night and won the big plasma TV!! And Dillon will not need a T shirt or hat the rest of the year,LOL!
But, now we are back to reality and back "on the road again!!"
Just picked up over there in OH and enroute to that place over in IN.
SO I will be keeping you updated where we are in this great country with this fantastic new company and see just where this road takes us!!!!

Well here we go again. After being plagued by repairs the past month or so. We now may need a new motor. And once again our owner wants to drag us back to GA to see about it. Now those of you that know us, know we have have no home to go to. So he wants us to wait til he gets us there to Figure out where we will stay and how we will survive while we wait for another repair to be done. No pay check for 8 weeks and he wants to play secret squirrel. Can't talk to about it now, but we will figure it out than!!
I am so fed up it's not even funny. We just want to drive and earn a living. Is that to much to ask!?
Anyways, we appreciate all who follow us and your prayers and thoughts are welcome!
Thank You!!

Bless your heart! Did you break a mirror recently? You have the worst luck of anyone I know. I may possibly have points for a free night at Choice hotels if that would help?

Hope it turns out well for you. Sounds like you need a new owner. This one is for the birds. I think he gave you the worst truck he had, so you could run it and make all the repairs. Hope he can sleep at night.....
I think so too. I think he knew exactly what condiction the truck was in. We are talking to other owners, but for now we are very stuck! No money to get my CDL B or for start up with someone new! You know, I just want to support my family and make a living. I do have future plans. But I just can't seem to get there!!

OK...as of Thursday we are once again homeless. This is getting very hard for me so please bear with me. If anyone knows of a place in the Taylor Michigan area, cheap or practically free, as we are trying to get back on our feet the next few weeks, please let me know. It Anna our 15 year old son and myself. Our son is special needs, although most people don't realize it when they meet him. We can not let go of our small dogs as it would devastate Dillon, and probably Anna too. They are kennel trained inside, the dogs not the family, and are easy to handle.
I know this is a lot, but this is a sudden situation for us. Our owner is unable to repair our truck and we have to get out of it Thursday.
Again thanks for reading along with us and I truly hope this is not the end of our adventures together.

What happens Thursday? Hopefully someone out there can hook you up. You guys have been trying so hard to make it and seem like good people. Hard to support your family when you keep getting knocked down.
Still hoping to here from Load1 about a truck for us to drive. As of tomorrow we will be GA bound. No idea what we will do when we arrive. Can't find a place to stay. Trying to find a friend to watch the pooches for us for a couple weeks. But no luck there either. Really am getting a little beyond worried at this point.
On a side note.... Thank you Zorry for your help. It's a true blessing to know there are still people like you guys out here!!!!

I completely understand how ur feeling. When we went OTR we basically let everything go. Needless to say at that point we weren't planning on having the kind of situation were dealing with now. Luckly, my dad has had my pooch since it started to get hot outside so that was one issue we didn't have to deal with.
As far the housing issue we have been lucky that Richards mom is putting us up. We would have been completely screwed had we not had his family.
Hope y'all get something put together. Keeping y'all in my thought and prayers. Keep me posted

Well finally a break, found a true friend, when least expected. Have a place to stay in GA. And Brian called, he has a sprinter available tomorrow. I will be driving alone, which will be very different for me.
The sprinter with be coming through IN sometime tomorrow, maybe late, and pick me up on the way to MI!!
SO cross your fingers and keep praying!! God is good, all the time!!
