Home

The Porta Potty is all safe and delivered and I'm back home. The Dodge has to go to the shop tomorrow for some work, so I'll be home at least a day. Maybe I'll get time to figure out the rest off this blog thing. Need to get the links working and maybe a guest book or a counter. I'll try to get some more pictures up too. So much to learn so little time. 25 days til Christmas, 56 days til Burns day!

Here are the 2 trucks that I run. The trailer behind the Dodge is a Porta Potty. You can see the paint missing on the top of the Freightliner from Hurricane Ivan. Posted by Hello

Home Again

Home Again. I had trouble with the Dodge on wednesday and couldn't get any body to work on it 'til friday. I checked on Turbo Diesel Register(http://www.turbodieselregister.com/) and this seems to be a common problem with the Cummins Diesel in the Dodges. So I got to spend Thanksgiving in Marion, Illinois, in a motel with no Wi-Fi. Got home last night about 10 PM and had my Thanksgiving Dinner. Life is good! I'll leave tonight on the way down to Ellenton,Florida to deliver another Porta Potty. And then home for a day or two...

Home Again

I'm home ,but just long enough for a shower and shave. I'm on my way to pick up a port-a-pottie from Little Rock,Ar. going to Lockport, Il. Then I will pick up another one going to Florida and then home. The one in Arkansas was used at the dedication of the Clinton Library. Hope there are no left over interns. I'll be stopping today to get a antenna for the radio, so I shpould be showing up live this afternoon. I'm gone..

I'm outta here!

Well, I'm off in my Dodge Dually to Goshen,In. to pick up a FEMA(Federal Emergency Management) trailer going to Ft. Myers, Fl for monday. A lot of miles in a short time. About 2100 miles I think. Didn't get the radio hooked up, but I'll have it with me, so maybe I can get it going along the way. Well, I'm out the door. Will update by Wi-Fi when I can.

Home and Hearth

Just got in around 7am, finished out the paper work and sent it in, and I'm ready for a little R&R. I'll try to fix this thing up a little bit if I can this evening. Must try to find the cord for the camera so I can up load some pictures. I will probably get back on the road tomorrow or friday. I won't be in the big truck, I'll be in my Dodge Dually hauling fifth wheel campers out of Indiana. I'll explain this when I have more time. That's all for now I'm going to kick back and relax.

Location of KG4FZP-14 (Andy)

Well, lets see if I can put a link in here. http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?kg4fzp-14
OK, there you go.

In The Beginning...

Hello, my name is Andy and I thought I'd try this and see how it turns out. It might seem boring to most, but I love what I do and maybe I can open a window for others. We'll see. And I see that like Dinisen I have gotten ahead of myself. I am a long haul trucker that operates in the lower 48 states. I operate a 1999 Freightliner Classic with a 53 foot trailer, hauling general freight from the Florida area to the west coast. On the trip back I haul LTL(less than load) , with stops all over Florida. The trip I'm on now will finish in Riviera Beach,Fl. after 4 other stops. I will probably dead head (run empty) home from my last stop. I live just outside Milton,Fl., In the panhandle or as we put it LA(lower Alabama). I'm going to try to put a link on here that will usually show my location. I'll also be trying to put some pictures up. I'll have to dust off the old digital camera, so it might be a few days.
