A medium pizza with a lot of toppings on it

The view from inside the cab of a tractor trailer, showing snow accumulating on the windshield and the road outside

Been stuck at this Ben & Jerry's factory for the last 25 hours and they're saying that it still might be another 5 hours before they can unload me. The weather is getting worse & I am low on food. So I decided to break one of my personal policies in order to pizza directly to my truck #LongHaulLife

C'mon guys. Be smarter than this.

An absolute rat's nest of a trailer wiring harness with two brake pods under it

A silver tanker trailer with a hose coming out of it and notably no working lights

A white pickup truck with a service body on the back

This is what 21 years, three companies, & a million hack jobs look like on the wiring harness of my current trailer. All the running lights decided they didn't want to work anymore, but yet I still had two markers upfront.
3 hours of the tech chasing wires
And one burnt out bulb lol.

A stainless steel tanker with a hose coming out of it and notably NO working lights.

A pickup truck with a service body on it, with all its cabinets open.

Running lights died about 45 minutes before I got to my customer. Luckily the factory here is okay with on-site repairs.
Kinda jealous of buddies service rig, thing sounds like it could pull down a house if you chained it up right.

A white dude with a red beard and a red shirt and a red santa hat stands in front of a white semi truck.

Santa swapped out the 12 reindeer for 600 horses this year.

Happy holidays everyone, from that Canuck in a big truck.

A white International LT semi truck with snow on it.

Roads were shit today, but I was able to pull through. Looking forward to a few days off next weekend. #LongHaulLife.

The back end of a very dusty hose coming out of it and a yellow bucket sitting under the pump house.

Pretty much everything at this customer is frozen, so I had to use my pump to push the old product that had frozen in their pipe with my fresh, hot, product into their facility.
My Gods how the 30 year old pump screamed and screamed.

Grassic Terminals, with a California Red Sky in the morning, heading further down south to top up the trailer with produce.

A tanker truck covered in patchy snow sits under an industrial awning.

Next time you see a bottle of Kraft BBQ sauce, think of me.

Two stainless steel tanker trailers sit in a bay with hoses running between them and out of frame.

Once again rescuing another load. Buddy's pump stopped working, so we are using our gravity pipes to feed from his trailer to my pump to the customers silo. Trouble is, his load has cooled, so it is VERY thick and slow.

A Mazda 3 with jumper cables hooked up and connecting it to a tractor.

The truck didn't want to start this morning, and like, mood, but we both got work to do.
#LongHaulLife

A Mazda 3 with booster cables running between it and a semi tractor.

It's too cold for this shit, y'all. #LongHaulLife

I see you, silver Audi SUV, flashing your lights at me in these Montreal streets. I'm not moving over so you can illegally pass me. In fact, I'm gonna drive a bit slower and more carefully. Oh, look at that, a cyclist wants to merge. #LongHaulLife

A short U-Haul trailer advertising Madison WI hooked to a white Chevrolet Silverado sits at a gas pump.

Even on my day off I'm pulling wagons. That #LongHaulLife got its claws in me good. Hope the weather holds out for tomorrow ls big move (spoiler: it won't.)

It's hard to see, but it's the information plate for my trailer, showing that it was manufactured in 11/93

The old tanker trailer in question, illuminated by my trucks work lamps and a streetlight. Yes I know I have a light out.

My very old pump house in my very old trailer.

Happy 33rd birthday to my trailer, I guess, damn. #LongHaulLife #TankerYanker #Tremcar

A boykisser drawing on a Port-a-john door that reads "Look at you, shitting in a box like a cat "

What I think everytime a jobsite only has porta johns available to drivers. #LongHaulLife #BoyKisser

The back of a tanker trailer hooked up to some plumbing on a wall with a hose, with a yellow bucket next to it.

A white dude in a bright orange hoodie sits next to the truck

Got to my Unload early this morning, so it's going to be a good, long weekend for me, assuming I didn't just Jinx it lol.
It's finally getting cold enough that I can wear my insulated gear. This high vis sweater I got from the company has no right being this comfortable. #LongHaulLife

On a bathroom wall A message on a bathroom wall reading "send poop pics to -the number is scratched out- Thanks!" Next to it is a mediocre sketch of the boy kisser looking concerned with the text "damn, what did bro do to you?!"

I've been seeing these requests all throughout New York State and today in Pennsylvania. I don't know what buddy did to piss this trucker off, but it must have been bad, that's like a nuclear option.
First time I've seen the number scratched out. #LongHaulLife #BoyKisser

The local parking authority is not a huge fan of me. #LongHaulLife

Two semi trucks are parked on the side of the road, in a well-lit street next to a beige factory

Looks like I'm sleeping on the street tonight. These places usually wake me up pretty early so it's not the end of the world. It just sucks that I got here so late, cuz I'm going to have to take up several parking spaces tomorrow morning until 10:30 after I unload lol

A display at a truck stop showing off various types of sage bundles wrapped up for sale for $12

A zoomed out picture showing more of the truck stop around the sage bundles

Look, I'm not SUPER well versed in the occult arts, but I get the feeling the truck stop sage and crystals probably isn't bringing the vibes or energy you want it to.

I've been trucking for almost a decade now, and I've had a handful of interesting, idiotic, insightful, hilarious and just plain unnecessary conversations on the CB. It's helped me avoid major backups, and got me out of some trouble once or twice. Tonight it almost got me in some real trouble, of my own making admittedly. Been running up US 29 and I-64 from North Carolina to Virginia and I seem to get every idiot with misaligned headlights, or just forgetting to turn off their high beams. Normally I'm pretty patient about these kinds of things and I'll flash my markers and headlights on and off a few times and people usually get the message. If it gets really bad I'll generally start slowing down some people will pass me, and in worst case scenarios I'll either hit the shoulder and stop completely, or grab the left lane and let them pass me on the right. Tonight I've just been having bad luck, and in a moment that I'm not super proud of I grabbed my microphone and basically yelled into the dark about "Can no one in the f-ing state install a headlight?!" And some other such nonsense. Well the truck behind me that was just running super bright fog lamps took offence to that, started flashing his high beams and we got into a bit of a pissing match on the road and over the ol' CB. I insulted him, his truck, his skill, gave him the finger as he passed me just before we hit I-81... I was in a rage. He fed it back to me just as harsh, calling me names and telling me that he only just got his truck back after 2 weeks and didn't realize the lights were out. We kept going back and forth, exit numbers and an invitation to a fist fight came up at one point and after a little bit until he gave me trouble for brake checking him. Now I don't normally break check people, but I guess it must have seen that that's what I was doing as I was hitting the shoulder to get him to pass me. I took a second to think about it, and in a much calmer voice basically told him that that isn't no…

Had a weird one tonight, but a good lesson I should try to remember. #LongHaulLife
(Copied it into alttext lol)

A hose going from trailer a, connecting to a valve at the top of trailer b, with a second hose going off of screen

A zoomed out shot of my truck and trailer, with one hose leading into the pump house from underneath, and another hose leading towards the customer silo

Had to go rescue a load when one of my co-workers stopped working. Essentially we're drawing into my trailer's pump, and using that suction to offload.
He was lucky that I was in the area.

It's a perfect day to roll down both windows on the rig, and truck across Montreal absolutely blasting early 2000s Woo girl pop music #LongHaulLife

A wall of beige jerky packages at a Buccee's store.

Four packs of different Buc-ee's jerky

A screenshot from a goob video showing a large muscle man wearing an ill-fitting shirt that reads "my child was conceived at a Buccee's gas pump" with him saying "I don't believe I've ever been to a buc-ee's, but I hear they have an excellent jerky selection."

Honestly I was a little underwhelmed with the selection of different jerky flavors. Don't get me wrong, there was a lot, but I was expecting more... Weird stuff...I wanted spicy mango and more exotic flavours. I guess Buc-ee's selection had always been talked up so highlylol. #LongHaulLife

I just got passed by a champagne colored Subaru with a surprisingly large bumper sticker that read "PRE-MARITAL SEX IS STUPID AND RISKY"
Imagine having that be the take you want to be publicly known for.

A large white shower stall with a large shower head.

A large metal tag that says "Irving BIG STOP" with a symbol for a shower.

A large metal tag that just reads BIGSTOP.

Honestly, one of the nicer truckstop shower I've seen, at the Irving BigStop near Lewiston Maine.
Boy howdy, my inner crow wanted to steal the Bigstop shower keychain. #LongHaulLife

Pulled over at a rest area in Northern Vermont that was so dark and so quiet that turning my truck back on and pulling onto the highway almost felt repulsive and like an act against the night itself.
