had a bit of a mare today.
i stopped in niagra for the night.didnt get to see the falls though.
i set off for my delivery,which was only about an hour away.to cut a long story short,i sat there for almost 10 hours.i was thrilled to bits(not).so now im in the husky in brampton.pick up my trailer tomorrow to take down to delta in bc,then hopefully back to lethbridge for the truck inspection

trip to new jersey

not up-dated this for awhile,i think for two reasons.


1.some of the negative comments piss me off

2.been too busy

anyway.

i dropped my last trailer at the yard in calgary,got my pre plan to pick beef at brooks,going to wisconson,once i had my ten hours off,i set off

there was another of our drivers there already.sean.he said his load was on hold until 2pm.i went in to check mine.yes,you guessed it,on hold till 9pm

it was only 6am.sent the macro,message came back,forget that load,get this one.i was rubbing my hands,down to new jersey.once i had picked the trailer up,my macro went off

andy,cancel that,ill get you something else.well,as you can imagine,i was a little pissed off.sean was laughing his head off.so all the info he had given me about all

the tolls,was of no use.so,the next load came,upto bloody calgary.great,ive gone from a load to new jersey for one upto calgary.so off i went.30 mins later,macro went again

andy,once you have dropped that,nip to another place,pick up empty and go back to brooks for,guess what.the new jersey load.i was chuffed again.now this run seemed to go on

forever,i had driven for what seemed days,and didnt seem to have got anywere.i had been told by my mate graeme,that i would pass the largest truck stop in the world.

,when i got there,he was right,it was huge.they had everything inside,including trucks.i had a quick walk round,

took a few pics,then on my merry way.the info sean had given me about the tolls was bob on.ive never been through so many,and

paid out so much money.all in all,ive enjoyed the run,seen some great sights.now im resetting,waiting for my re-load back to lethbridge,as my truck is due service and inspection.

hope you enjoy the pics.
