Big Rig Dishcloth©

My wonderful husband has driven "Rocky Mountain" Super Tankers in the oil fields of Eastern Utah for over 20 years. The truck he drives is 110 feet long, has 36 wheels and 129,000 lbs. He hauls 290 - 300 barrels of crude oil per day. The driving conditions are mild to intolerable. He drives from dirt roads and clay/mud locations (off road driving) to rural roads, busy city and interstate. I come from a long line of truck drivers and so I am used to having everyone gone all the time. I am lucky that he is home every night.

In honor of Tracy, my husband, and all of the hard working drivers out there who help to keep our country moving...This pattern is dedicated to you.

THANK YOU BARBARA! She has graciously helped with corrections on this pattern! =)
