Hello! Thanks for stopping by and taking an interest in our story!

With the last of the kiddos moved out of the house in '23, we decided to pursue our dreams of travel, close our construction company, and "semi-retire." We bought our old Peterbilt, "Roger," and spent the next year rebuilding it inside and out, getting it ready for OTR duty, and we hit the road in January '24.

God is good, and we had an amazing year, even better than we could have dreamed! All the new places and faces we met, and friendships made were incredible!

With the good comes the bad, however, and unfortunately, Q1 2025 was not as lovely. If it could go wrong, it did, and we spent a number of weeks on the sidelines, waiting for various shops to work out problems we couldn't deal with on the road, depleting not only our time but our reserves.

This culminated at the beginning of April when, 6 miles from home and heading to Houston on a beautiful Sunday morning, Roger VERY unexpectedly decided it was time for a new engine. Yikes.

We found a great, reputable shop in Canon City to haul him to, worked out some preliminary numbers (35k), and using the last of our funds, got the engine project underway.

Unfortunately, projects like these are always a can of worms, and while the shop was in there replacing the engine, they found a number of smallish issues (which only made sense to fix along the way), ballooning our repair bill to almost 60k.

The truck is now done, and it's time to hit the road, and while we've been working 50+ hours a week to keep the money coming in, it simply isn't enough to cover our recurring bills AND put money away to cover this project.

Thanks for listening—if you find yourself with a few spare bucks at the end of the week, we'd be eternally grateful for the help. 100% of the funds raised here go directly to the shop.
You can also pay the shop directly if you'd like, just call Sarvids Heavy Equipment in Cañon City, care of Blacksheep Hauling!

Check out our website HERE, get to know us, and drop us a line! Who knows, maybe we'll see you on the road someday and can return the favor!

Have a great day and God Bless!
