BACK TO WORK

Hello to all,

I am back from a short visit to West Virginia. My son and I enjoyed some time together riding our dirt bikes and atv. The fall months are a beautiful time to enjoy the scenery from the top of the mountains.  West Virginia offers the Hatfield/McCoy trails  which includes six different trail systems. It’s definitely a trail riders dream.  I enjoyed some fresh air and clearing my mind of work related issues. We sure had fun and I enjoyed spending time with family and friends.

On Wednesday, I loaded in Charlottte, NC and headed to New Jersey. I then picked up a load in Newark, Delaware. I will be spending the day on Friday at the Philadelphia Freightliner “open house” event. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop in and say “Hi”. Also, you can check out the new Cascadia. The event should be lots of fun and will include a visit from the Eagles cheerleaders.  I’ll let you know how the event goes in a later blog. Take care and be safe.

Henry

    Henry,

    Glad to hear you completed your last trail adventure without an ambulance ride! I was also in the mountains the same weekend camping with my son’s scout troop near Brown mountain. Sorry that I couldn’t go with you, thanks for the invite!

    9.0 mpg is within your grasp! Good luck!
