No ABS on This Trailer

Look at the ABS cable hanging next to the trailer tires. The cable is disconnected, and the trailer ABS is not working. The regular brakes may still work, but without ABS, the wheels can lock up during hard braking. This problem needs to be fixed before the trailer goes back on the road.

Apples in Washington State

Washington has so many apples that piles of them are already being dumped along the roadside. Some have started to rot, while others still look perfectly fine. Washington is famous for its apples, but seeing this many thrown away is still surprising.

Stopped at Love’s in Post Falls, Idaho, for fuel and had a great surprise—I got to meet the founder of CDLCrew.com

We talked trucking, especially the differences between Canada and the USA, something I experience firsthand as a cross-border driver. It was great sharing stories and perspectives from both sides of the border. And of course, I couldn’t leave without noticing a beautiful Peterbilt sitting at the stop. 🚛🔥 Just another memorable moment from life on the road. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

I’ve never seen a Love’s this empty

Somewhere in Montana, there were plenty of open truck parking spaces in the middle of the day. Usually finding a spot is the problem — here, you could take your pick.

Diesel at $7.18 in Washington

Diesel is getting expensive again. I spotted Diesel #2 at $7.18 per gallon at a Love’s in Washington. At that price, filling a truck with 150 gallons costs $1,077. For owner-operators, fuel prices like this can take a big bite out of every load.

Miren esas cadenas

Vi este camión y noté lo bajas que cuelgan las cadenas. Me recordó esos avisos en la carretera: las cadenas que arrastran pueden producir chispas y provocar incendios.

One minute left

Nailed it. When your HOS clock says 0:01, that’s not running out of time — that’s professional trip planning.

Beauty even among the trash

I stopped at a highway exit where trucks pull over for a break or stay overnight. Bottles, bags, and other trash were everywhere. And right in the middle of it all, a flower was growing. Sometimes nature reminds us that beauty can still grow where people leave a mess behind. Drivers, respect the place where you stop. When you leave, take your trash with you.

Pepinillos gigantes por $1.99

Paré en Flying J/Town Pump en Glendive, Montana, y vi estos pepinillos gigantes a $1.99 cada uno. En los truck stops siempre se encuentra algo interesante. ¿Comprarías uno para el camino?

$1,023.62 por una sola carga de combustible

Hoy puse 175 galones de diésel en el camión y vi cómo el total superó los $1,000. El combustible es uno de los mayores gastos para camioneros y owner-operators, y cifras como esta muestran lo rápido que aumentan los costos.

Dos bananas por $2

Paré en Love’s en Valley City, North Dakota, y tuve que mirar el precio dos veces. Dos bananas por $2 en un truck stop. ¿Qué opinan los camioneros: precio normal o demasiado caro?
