Some video of routine truckin'

A bit of truck driving on a Christmas morning

Most folks do not appreciate the fact that dairy cows do not take Christmas off! We got up early (that is I got up when the kids woke me), opened presents, after the commotion died down, I needed to pick up a load of milk at the creamery and pull it up to Norfolk Nebraska. A simple matter up coupling to a loaded trailer near the house and then dropping it at the butter plant, couple to an empty trailer and head home. A back of the envelope calculation revealed I would be back in time for lunch.

Renee decided to come with me and she took some video from the sleeper. So this video is of a fully loaded truck, which when I weighed it, came in right at 79,750 lbs.
