We Met
We met in driving school in 2003 and were married on December 6, 2003
We got into a truck at Transport America on January 4, 2004 and are still here today.
Our very first load was Ashely Furniture from Arcadia, WI to four stops in the boroughs of New York City and the last stop on Long Island, NY. Talk about baptism by fire!!!
Since then we mainly run from Minneapolis, MN to Los Angeles, CA to Atlanta, GA to Boston, MA.
Approximately 2.25 million miles apiece under our belts as of 1/1/2020.
We are accident free with two exceptions which are pretty silly. Three speeding tickets.
1.) In a construction zone on a freeway, there was a chunk of cement about the size of a football getting kicked around from getting hit. We were in-route to get a flat tire fixed when we were lucky enough to hit it with the flat tire which dented the rim. Didn’t even know we were charged with the accident until 10 years after the fact.
2.) A car merging on thought the highway was supposed to stop for her. Plenty of room to speed up and get in front of us or slow down and get behind us. She intentionally bumped us on the side. No damage to our truck. She was ticketed for failure to yield and driving on the shoulder. Our company decided that was our fault.
