quick trip

my truck was due a service,i put in the shop,only to be told there was a trip that they couldnt get covered,and would i do it.it was a drop in twin falls.i got so far down the road,when i got a pre plan for my return load.that was quick!.i made delivery at 10 am next morning.my collection was for 3am the following morning,and it was only an hour and a half away from were i delivered.so i decided to chance my luck.i got to the customer around lunchtime,i asked if there was a chance they could load me today.sorry,no can do....so i parked up for a long chill out.anyway,i got loaded at 2am.nice easy drive back to drop trailer in taber.got to lethbridge,and put my truck in the shop for the well overdue service.my dispatch got me back real quick,as they promised.my truck is still in the shop,im hoping to hit the road in the morning.
while ive been sat in the lodge ive met a few of the new drivers that are starting their training.most of them seem very good and have come with the right attitude.they've been asking me lots of questions,which ive been happy to try and answer.i think they will do OK.
well that's it for now.Xmas is round the corner,and the weather is changing,so everyone stay safe
