Pop and Miss Carol have fun with the grandkids over Labor Day. Here, three Grands bust some clay pigeons with Pop's 12 gauge. Firearm safety #1 thanks to Son-in-law Josh

Owwwwwch! All across the country I could hear the Truckers screaming as a fill-up of fuel lands between $500-$1000.00! Thats right if a trucker buys over 230 gallons, he /she has to lay down 10 Benjamins to leave! At least that is the price in California. This week Miss Carol and Pop headed back to the Golden Bear state again. The highest price we saw was at the Loves in Boron. California is just beautiful. And lots of veggies and fruits and nuts were seen (go ahead. Make the Cali joke.) Well, climb abord Sven as we drop out Implements and load shingles this week on PopsMotherRoadFBR

During an overnight stay in Holbrook Arizona they find themselves without fuel at Holbrook. Miss Carol wants to stop and look for souvenirs. So they stop at the "C" Ranch and have a good time taking pictures and seeing all the wildlife that is stuffed. Pop has a good time looking at all the Route 66 souvenirs. This is a special edition with a funny blooper at the end

Are you a residence for hate? Well, strife is knocking at your door. Look at todays political landscape. The tragedies. The terrorism. Cancel culture. All, products of hate. "Hate stirs up strife."

Pop finds this big girl on I-70 in Central Kansas.

Pop and Miss Carol start a little late this week. Beginning Monday afternoon, the Flatbed couple head south out of their home near Oklahoma City into the Land of Longhorns. Five stops before heading back to Central Kansas for another load of implements. Come see the Ft. Worth skyline and more as Pop sets a new record for saying Texas more in 5 minutes than he ever has before. (Not counting a Sooners-Longhorns football game.)

Pop & Mrs. Pop load up the Volvo, and head towards the Golden Bear. Ride along as the couple weave their way around traffic, California traffic, to make his drops. L

Pop and his family of grandkids and two children & spouses, pack up and head to the Zoo in Wichita, Ks. The male Gorilla was funny and playful. Lots of smiles. Lots of memories. Come see the animals with Pop's Mother Road Flatbed Report!

Pop and his trainee, Justin, travel to Chicagoland to deliver and pick up a mysterious looking load bound for home office. Take a look at the video and see if you can figure out what the load is befor Pop tells you.

Pop tales us across the Cherokee Strip of Southwestern Kansas and the central Panhandle of Oklahoma this week. Some of you may already know that the area between Dodge City, Kansas to Amarillo, Texas has the highest bovine concentration in America. Beef is the industry! Pop parks overnight across the US Beef packing plant in Dodge. Get a whiff of this video, cowboy!

Pop has another trainee with him this week! He and trainee Matt pull up their socks to cover their respective TARHEELS this week. From Asheville, through Winston, down near Wilmingto, then back through Charlotte, the boys have a good time with an absolutely beautiful place. God is surely happy with this beautiful creation called NORTH CAROLINA!

Every once in a while you come across a truck stop that is unique. Today an uncommon situation happens at a common Love's truck stop on the West side of Charlotte, NC. Pop calls it, "Bobtail Central."

Pop knows you guys think he's consumed by trucking, right? Oh, no, no, no! His family is #2 right behind the Lord and His agenda. So take a look at part of his personal life. Today, Pop stops off at a great Oklahoma tradition, The Catfish Roundup just outside Seminole, Oklahoma at exit 200 on I-40. Then a peek at his Granddaughter's birthday party. Enjoy a slice of Pop's home time.

This week, Pop takes us from his Granddaughter's Softball game, to his house, then on to near Galveston, Tx. Take a cockpit view of the construction zones on Oklahoma's own I-35, then overnight at a truckstop in Denton, Tx. Tuesday morning we make our way through the pre-dawn lights of "Big D", Dallas. Pop makes his two drops, then turns around to head back through Oklahoma, and on to central Kansas. Enjoy the 2-day trip

Have you become disgusted with the garbage around the truck stops? Today, Pop gives an example of a real nice truck stop, that drivers have trashed. Literally trashed. Pop makes an appeal for all drivers to be more responsible when it comes to their garbage. C'mon, guys (and gals), we certainly can do better. Pop

What is a Conestoga? The idea pig a Conestoga came from the covered wagons from the old wagon trains back in the wild West days. Covered wagons with canvas covers have been changed to aluminum frames and tough poli-vinyl side curtains on wheels! Pop goes through some of the differences between a standard flat bed trailer, and a Curtained "Conestoga" trailer.

Pop is roaming through The Lone Star State this week. He visits corporate HQ, and some huge dogs! Welcome to Pop's Mother Road Flatbed Report, y'all!

A few hurdles had to be overcome before we could continue. Pop explains why it's been almost 2 weeks since last update.

Matthew 5:45 (NIV) that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

When flatbed drivers head across country, and start having to deal with the D.O.T.? Rises in the back of their head. "Do my straps have any tears rips or anything that will make them illegal?" So true! Well, the only thing you can do is make sure all your straps are legal. The only way you can do that is to examine them each time you use them, and once in a while, pull them all out and check them individually. Today, Pop takes us through the process he does to make sure he doesn't get one of those pesky $250 tickets. A couple of tips and a few words of wisdom from PopsMotherRoadFBR.

Pop loves big machines. Get a look at a "BEAST" of a forklift. This big girl can lift 40 TONS! PLUS the men driving the flatbeds have a unique job. They transfer steel coils all day. Their technique allows them to be at the loading docks only 10 minutes. Amazing! Then, later that day, Pop stop at one of the most famous restaurants in America. The home of "Throwed Rolls," Lamberts of Sikeston, Mo.

Many times people have asked me what my #averageday is like. Well, today you get a chance to see it. It takes less than 15 minutes for you to find out what an average day is like. Pop starts his day off very early in the morning. And the days are usually long. Today he finishes up somewhere near 8 pm. He goes to five different places in Western #NewYork. #POPSMOTHERROADFBR unloads his trailer, and heads back West where he will get a load of #Steel, and return to #Kansas.

PopsMotherRoadFBR finished another update. This time he's off to the East instead of the Southeast or West. Today, Pop is on his way through Ohio, Pennsylvania, and into New York! He has five drops in Western NY just South of Rochester.

#PopsMotherRoadFBR find Pop in Alexandria, LA at the #Loves truck stop. You just never can tell what will happen. After Pop drops a mudflap, he shows us how he cooks meals in the PopsMotherRoadFBR #Kenworth. After supper, he finds entertainment watching an inexperienced driver trying to park his #BIGRIG.
