Thanks for the PM’s and finding that.Although I think I confused the details of the actual run with a different story over the years it shows how impressed I was with the outfit to have remembered that article since reading it in the day. 
Justy thought you might like to know that I am driving on I 10 as I read this heading back to Texas with a load of veggies, interesting read although I don’t think the roads have been resurfaced since 1982, makes my top of the range 13 Volvo rattle about like it’s on solid suspension, some of the worst roads in America. Still on logbooks here although some companies have a machine which you input your driving data etc but apparently it can be very easily fiddled.
Nice one chazzer, would be intrested if you have any photos ■■ If you ever get the chance a trip report from over
there would be great to see ■■?
Hi, for me to do a trip blog would be rather boring I’m afraid as they consist mainly of loading somewhere for several hours then driving to destination and unloading for several hours interspersed with stops for fuel food and sleep, no stopping in little truckstops as in France, Spain or Italy where you might bump into another englishman (a rarer occurance these days I’m sure) and having a chat over a few glasses of wine. It’s more of get there get back, have a couple of days off and do it all again. Although you do see some fantastic scenery and the weather can be amazing (and downright dangerous) at times it get repetative like most jobs after a while. I’ve put a couple of pics on just to show what I drive.
