And they're off

With three days to go before the start of the Mid-America Trucking Show, most attendees are still packing and checking the weather. But, not "The Spirit of The American Trucker."

Staff Writer Greg Grisolano gets last minute instructions from Editor-in-Chief 

Sandi Soendker before hitting the road for Louisville Monday morning.

Miss Eleanor's pilot Jon Osburn, co-driver Sassi Dogg and LL staffer Greg Grisolano hit the road for Louisville, Ky., bright and early Monday morning in the red, white and blue Western Star.

Greg will be tweeting and blogging from the road and will give us the low down on the early set-up over at Papa John's parking lot.

You can follow Greg on Twitter at ElGrizo or check back in here.

The rest of the Land Line crew will hit the road Tuesday morning. You can watch for updates from Managing Editor Jami Jones on Twitter at shewhoknowstruk, Senior Editor Dave Tanner at LandLineCanuck. (They don't travel like your average bunch.) They meet up with Field Editor Suzanne Stempinski and Editor-At-Large John Bendel in Louisville.

But for now, keep your eyes peeled for Miss Eleanor making it's way from OOIDA HQ in Grain Valley, Mo., to Louisville, Ky. Give Greg a shout out for us if you get a chance.
