Trucking BlogsThese are blogs which I have found that have trucking as a central or peripheral theme. I have tried to describe some of the ones I feel are the more interesting of the ones listed. The Link to the blog is in Red as is the name of the blog.American Pro Driver is simply a great blog. Humorous and perspicacious at the same time. Great visuals - the "Ride of the Day" is worth a stop in-and-of-itself. I like how the "Word of the Day" helps me to become a smarter human being. Great pictures for those who can't read.
Lease Purchase Journal (400+ Entries) - The best thing about this blog is that he details some financial information about how "he attempts the near-impossible feat of completing a lease-purchase deal in the trucking industry" along with great commentary on the life of a trucker, some good videos and some good photos.
Rambling Rube's Trucking Tales (1000+ Entries) - A very, very compelling blog.
Heads Carolina/Tails California (600+ Entries) - A couple who did the work-a-day world for 30 years get out and wander around, though not always together. Sometimes, she stays home and he wanders. Insightful and humerous.
On The Road With The American Trucker (100 Entries) - A photo essay on trucks and trucking in the American west.
Tales From the Road (800+ Entries) - The Fenian Godfather does a very interesting blog. He writes about trucking like a trucker. Maybe it's because he is one. Good stories, good pics, good video. It's too bad he's a Notre Dame fan. We Sooner fans have never forgiven them for 1957.
The Daily Rant (1000+ Entries) - It really is a daily rant and it goes back to 2005. She drives, she travels, she writes. Does she do it all at the same time? I'm not sure. You'll hve to ask her co-pilot, Eddie.
Road Rage (500+ Entries) - As she tells it... "Welcome to my world. I am a 37 year old Truck Driving Fool. Checking in at barely 5' foot tall, it is quite the spectacle to behold. I run a regular route through NYC each week, so if you see me, I am just liable to blow my horn and flip you the bird. But hey, when in Rome.... "
Gi-Gi-Roxx (200- Entries) - A young lady who probably got more than she bargained for as a driver. As she puts it, "...I got way more than I'd imagined. I mean, weenie sightings just weren't anywhere in my imaginings..." and her writing are worth reading. Female bloggers, as a general rule, are better bloggers than males. Most males write a couple of lines and they're done. Females open up.

Dougster's Travels (800+ Entries) - Doug says "...since November 2005, I've been travelling across America in a 2005 Chevy 6500 Truck with a 20 foot box and a sleeper cab..." which gives a different side of trucking - the expedited side. But, Dougster isn't much on telling a story. He is, however a crazy man with a camera. He has lots of pics about his travels.
My Sometimes Daily Blog (400+ Entries) - Sam's been a a driver for Arnold Transportation since 2007 and lives in the Dallas area. The man rolls a lot of miles.

Life on the Road (many entries) - Written by lot of people about lots of things. Not all of them are about trucking but most of them are. You get the perspective of different authors and if you'd like to contribute, you can.
Life 8 Feet Up (375+ Entries) - Dale has a great looking bike. I figure if I ever meet him, maybe I an pretend I'm a really cool guy na dmaybe he'll let me ride his bike. But, I doubt it. Dale has an attitude. He also likes to take pictures. America needs more guys like Dale...
My Story of Trucking in North America (300 Entries) - Trucking, Canadian style. Good pics, intersting stories, but somewhat tragic in the end.
Trucking Funks (200 Entries) - A story that starts in truck driving school and goes on till the present.
Maverick in the Rear View - The yearlong journal posted here includes some really, really interesting statistical data for hours and money.
Forty-Ton Tourists (200+ Entries) - A good blog to read even though the couple that wrote it are no longer on the road. It seems they misjudged how much they liked being at home, a common problem amoung people who want to drive trucks.

Trucker Trash (95 Entries) - "I'm an over-the-road Truck driver, who lives on the West Coast and do most of my driving East of the Mississippi River " or so he says...
18 Wheel Beauties (50+ Entries) - This young lady loves trucks and I'm so glad. Someone just needs to tell her that Stevens Transport may have good looking trucks and great pictures on the internet, but they're not what I would call a good place to work, even if I do make that judgement purely in my not-so-humble opinion. They may have great trucks and great training, but I never made much money when I was there and they rarely got me home withing two weeks of when I wanted to get there. When I was there, I got some miles under my belt and got out!
Auburn Trucker (50+ Entries) - Flatbed driver, male, from Maryland. Drives a Pete.
Older Blogs / Shorter Blogs / Strange Blogs - Maybe they're worth a look for ideas, commentaries, some good stories or perhaps even some scruffy stuff. These are blogs that have been abandoned or put on hold or neglected or some other issue that tends to make them have posting dates in the past.
