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
