Well folks... it's been a wild ride but sadly, I'm hanging up my yellow jacket and gloves. Number of factors but mainly, I'm beat. Harley doesn't like road trips and without Maya over in the passenger seat, it's just not the same without my old girl. And I'm beat. Trailer is sold, my numbers are decommissioned and G*T is dissolved. The big white enclosed trailer sold today. I might keep my trusty Ram unless someone knows someone who wants a DEF free, fully built, hot shot truck. Title in hand. The Kenworth is still for sale and is listed on FB marketplace. It's been my pleasure traveling over a million miles all around the country making deliveries to a bunch of really awesome people. But now, I'm going to try and be retired. Maybe build another RC plane. Or do another insane bicycle ride with my bionic knee, neck and back!! Who knows. But thank you all for your support these past years. G*T would never have got off the ground without your trust. May God bless you all as He has blessed me! Much love

So I posted 3 videos and 3 pictures on my personal and tried to share them here buuut... guess it didn't work. They are shared on G*T's Instagram if you want to see all in one place. Sorry

This season, please take a moment to remember HOW the things get under your tree.

I'm not thinking I'm emotionally prepared to deal with the s**t show that is I80 from Sac into Reno right now. Provided 88 is open to trucks, I'm sliding south a little and will deal with the wind and windy, snowy road in the name of peace and quite.

Some insight while you Christmas shop for gifts, food or whatever. Or going to families house for the holidays? Pissy at all the slow trucks? KEY NOTE.. stay away from us! Give us space!! Some of us don't know how to install chains or drive in snow. But neither do some of you! Posting videos next..

Goodbye, dear sweet, sweet sister and friend.

Ok, fellow truckers.. don't let the FIRST time you put on your chains be when ENTERING a chain control area!! If you don't know how to drive in snow & your company says go over the rockies, Sierra or whatever mountain in the winter.. please say NO!! 3 times in 3 days, I've pulled over to throw on my chains to get over Donner summit & 3 times I've had foreign drivers from presumably India or somewhere that doesn't snow, ask me to help. Of course I did because I don't want them to wreck themselves, kill a family of 4 or selfishly, shut down the highway for 6 hours or more if it's a fatality accident. The best you can hope for is it's a baby-sitting state like California that has you stop at the scale / port of entry, stop at the fruit fly check thing, stop again at the DOT thing so they can make sure you have enough chains onboard, stop again to chain up then stop AGAIN for them to make your chained up correctly before proceeding up the grade. There's minimum & maximum chain requirements. Minimum is your main drive axle (the front one) & one axle on the trailer. Maximum is both drive axles on the tractor & one trailer HINT.. you need to have your power divider lock engaged. Otherwise, you just chained up for basically nothing. DOT can't tell if your power divider is engaged. That's on you. Please practice in southern Arizona or Texas in an empty parking lot over your 10 hour break. NOT on the side of the pullout coming up a grade. The winter is young. It's not racist when soon I tell you to go F yourself, figure it out, or go call your company. It's on YOU to have your company train you on the truck AND ALL NECESSARY EQUIPMENT needed for the route they want you to drive. If your from a foreign country or state that doesn't get snow, SAY NO when your from India, a new driver, or from Texas, Mississippi or Florida & you went to truck school in Kansas & your first run is west over the rockies, Sierra, Wasatch or Siskiyous in November-May. It's YOUR CDL & when you wreck & kill a bunch of people because you went somewhere you weren't trained for because your company told you it was fine, & wind up on the news in a bad & in prison, that's on YOU!

What i do while waiting for my snow tires to be put on, ride my trikke around!! My knee loves it. Off to Coquille OR after tire swap & quick pit stop to pick up the ladies & my overnight bag.

There's no way around it... literally. Gonna be a chain day today!! Old Man Winter is officially here for Gold Anchor Transport!!

Winter protocol has officially hit Gold Anchor Transport. Wake up at 3 am and check weather over the summits (carson pass CA88 and Donner I80), decide from there what route to take and either, get up and brace for a 16 hour day taking the long way around or, back to sleep for a couple hours and wait for the sun to melt the ice. But that's a crap shoot. Nothing worse than deciding to take the long way because the short way is closed and an hour after leaving, the short route opens! But duty calls and clients need their trucks delivered so, winter tires mounted, chains on board, emergency bag in the closet and extra dog food in the cabinets just in case we have an unplanned over nighter!
