Lloyd's Web Journal

Ex- Photographer and now a Truck Driver. Currently I am an Over-The-Road Truck Driver. I originally started driving trucks for a living in 1968.

In-between 1968 and now, I:

Went into the US Air Force in 1970 and got out again in 1974.
Was pretty fair at Chess for much of my young life.
Was briefly a Professional Skydiver.
Went into Professional Photography in 1974.
Have worked as a licensed security agent.
Have been a real estate salesman.
Became a Commodore 64 expert in the 1980s.
Enjoyed sail boats.
Enjoyed mountain life.
Picked up a fair amount of knowledge about computers.
Returned to truck driving in 1997.

I have pulled van trailers, flat-beds, end-dumps, and roll-offs since 1997. Mainly it has been flatbeds. Although I am currently pulling reefers.

Was an Owner/Operator Truck Driver for a few years.
And during the summer of 2006, I drove a straight truck in the Oil Fields.
Have become well rounded....

Here, I usually post my thoughts about the things in my life, when I have time. Usually it will be about trucking, computers, Linux, traveling, Wyoming, and things in the news, or just about anything in my life.

Note: I rarely discuss photography here since the field is changing faster then anyone can keep up with. My old 4x5 view camera is simply out of place....

You are welcome to read anything here.
I hope that you are entertained.

Movie Casting Call for Truckers!

Flying-J truckstops and International Trucks have teamed up to produce a movie about the lives of Over-The-Road Truckers. I suspect that it will be much like the “Ice Road Truckers” that was on the History Channel earlier this year.

Anyway, they are casting for truckers to be the star or stars of the movie. I am not sure how many people they are looking for.

They have set up a website where you can find out more about it. You can also voice your opinion on their website about issues facing us as over-the-road truckers.

The site is: www.InternationalTrucks.com/StandAlone

Interviews and Auditions are at the following Flying-J Truckstops:

Fort Chiswell, VA October 29 – November 2

Lake Park, GA November 5 - November 8

Sikeston, MO November 12 – November 15

Aurora, CO November 26 – November 29

Lodi, CA December 3 – December 6

Good Luck to everyone.

And if you don't wish to be in the movie, then at least voice your opinion at their website.
