mentor trip

had my first mentor trip on tuesday,with a guy called adi.we were going to washington.
adi and his wife picked me up tuesday morning,then over to h&r to pick up the load.after fuelling up,we set off.adi broke me in gently,then started telling about everything,my head was knackered.
on the way out and passing through different places,adi had some interesting info.i told him he was wasted as a truck driver,he should be a history teacher.
we reached the border,and we had to go inside to see the nice gentleman(with the gun).i had to get an i94,because i was a naughty boy in my youth.after about half an hour of him asking me a few questions,paid my $6 and got the piece of paper.
anyway,we got to costco in sumner,tipped pretty quick,then got a call to go to california for two collections.got these done,juggled the pallets round,weighed off,just under.then we set off back to lethbridge,we went through some places that ive only seen on tv.we went past,seattle,portland,sacremento,fresno,los angeles,las vegas(which was fantastic),utah,idaho,montana.i also seen the mojave dessert,yellowstone,and drove the grand canyon,but it was bloody dark and couldnt see anything.
we got back late friday night and did nearly 3000 miles,not bad for four days,eh!
i really enjoyed the trip.there was a hell of a lot of stuff to take in,adi explained everything very well,and he made the trip more enjoyable.
got one more trip to do now,thats over the rock,once ive got that done,its three days class room,then hopefully get my own truck,and start earning some money.fingers crossed.
there is a few pics that i took,not as many as i should have took.
