IM GETTING TIRED OF PEOPLE PUTTING COMMENTS ON MY BLOG,AND NOT PUTTING THEIR NAMES TO THEM.
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this guy pulled up along side me when i was fuelling up.i though it was a bit strnge him asking me to stay on the other side of my truck.until i realised,these crates were full of bees.....

just goes to show you what difference a few hours make,with the above to pics

just a quick up date on my truck.
it is a computer problem,and the guy who can sort it out(hopefully)isnt in till tomorrow.so its another night in the hotel.
need to get running.im bored now!!!!!!!!!!!!

on my way back from a good trip ti the states,i came back through the border and stopped at a place called estavan.when it was time for me to get going,got myself together and set off.i didnt get far.got so far down the road and the truck lost power,it just wouldnt pull.so i turned round and headed back to the husky.made a phone call,got some advice,which worked.so off i went again.after half an hour,it happened again.made another call.try and get to regina.i eventually got there and took it to the garage.who told me they couldnt look at it until tomorrow.so it was off to a hotel.
while i was sat in the room,i thought,hang on,im sure some people we met in mexico a few years ago came from regina.i got my address book,and sure enough they did,nd they were only 10 miutes away.i gave them a call and we arranged to meet that night and have something to eat.
it was great to see them again after a long time.caught up with a lot of things,and laughed at a few more.i have been invited to come up in april when jan comes over,and spend a couple of days with them.
rang the garage this morning and was told that the guy is still on it and would ring me in a little while,hopefully it will be ready and i can get going.apparently,its a computer problem.so im hoping that if they sort that out,it will solve my night heater fault out too.

ths is what i woke to when i stopprd over in shelby

some random pics from my last trip

outside the lodge

had a nice drive down to idho.stopped at shelby for the night.when i woke up and opened the curtains,i couldnt beleive what i saw.bloody snow,and plenty of it.well,i got myself together and decided to crack on.the further i got,the less snow there was.by the time i got to idaho,it had all gone.found the place i was delivering to,got on a bay and waited to be tipped.once done,i had to sort the pay out for the lumpers.i gave them the cheque,he came back,it wouldnt clear.to cut a long story short.we did this 3 times,it turned out it was my bloody fault.i gave the dispatcher the wrong amount.so it wouldnt clear,as it was trying to accept two amounts.anyway,that sorted,i set of for utah i found the place and pulled on to the scales,when i heard loud hissing.yes,you guessed it.i had caught the run rail with not one,but two wheels.damaged rims and tyres.didnt expect to have my first accident so soon.adam,the night dispatcher was great.really understanding and helpful.called the tyre people,they said it would be awhile,so i thought i would get my head down.no bloody chance.my night heater had packed up again.second time in less than a week.got the wheels sorted about 5am.
got loaded and set of back to calgary.so a nice drive turned out to be an eventful one...
after dropping trailer at calgary,i had a load to pick up from brooks.i pulled the trailer out of the parking bay,only to find the rear tyre on the trailer was flat.(not much luck with tyres lately)
so,on the phone again to adam,who had to laugh.so,here i am,waiting for the tyre people to come out.
i do want to say however,thanks to adam and shane for helping me out on more than one occasion.see,there are decent dispatchers out there!!!
when i eventualy get going.im off to nebraska.never been,so its another new place.i have asked to be routed back to lethbridge,so i can get my truck in the garage(AGAIN)to get this night heater sorted.it is starting to get colder now,so i need it sorting or ill bloody freeze to death.haha

today started off very slowly.my truck went in the garage for the night heater repaired.i got it back,just after dinner.i then had to wait for my load to come down.i think i eventually set of after six.anyway,i headed of towards sweet grass.i came round the little bend just before the border at about 7.30,and joined the bloody que.i left at 10.30.so im sat in shelby at the minute,ready for some shut eye,and set of in the morning down to boise in idaho.hope tomorrow is better!!!!!!!!!!!

im sat in the lodge at the moment as my night heater has packed up.ill take it in in the morning,before i set off for idaho.i went out to the truck this morning to get the milk out of the fridge,it was frozen solid.i think the temp got down to minus 14.
i have just got back from a few days in the states,i enjoyed most of it,apart from the few problems getting the weights sorted.it is something i will have to get used to.its good to know ive made a few friends here that i can call when need to.

the above picture,look at the sign.its the sign every driver likes to see!!!!!

i went for my second mentor trip with a guy called colin.he isnt a mentor as such,it was that the guy i should have gone with was on holiday,so p[oor colin got roped into it.we did have a good laugh,and he taught me some other stuff.anyway,it was an evenful trip.here are a few pics from the trip.

sorry i havent put anything on for quite awhile,but i have been really busy.
i now have my own truck,so now i can start to earn some money(hopefully).
i have just got back from a trip to the states.went to oregon,then over to beaverton for a collection.it is three deliveries in calgary.the trip back was different,it was actually snowing.i have pictures,i will get them on as soon as i can.
when i get a little more time,i will keep this up-dated a little more.
graham heys.i think it was you that bumped into some friends of mine in egypt.hope you are well.
