Hi everybody
The latest trip was a big one and a first for me.
Started at teh peg -14 cent !
This is the perimiter highway and the ice is pretty scary.
Anyhoo empty trl to winkler hook and drop,( had to shunt a canex trailer from the ramp and mess about in the yard there.)
got the papers faxed to the correct broker eventually, then its sunglasses on and bay watch here I come.
Border crossing was penbina and the scanner was down due to the weather LoL,guess the Uhmericans don't like to get cold!
As the snow in yellowstone was pretty bad with chain ups and all that crap the route i took went over denver up the I70 and on to Las Vagas
Some of the landscapes are amazing,K on through las Vagas (no time to stop and gamble,not my scene anyways)had no bubbles so no troubles and on to Oxnard,passing thru the outskirts of L.A.past funny streets like Hollywood Boooulivard,
Found the shipper pretty quick,booked in dropped the trailer and scooted of to loves truckstop for showers and scoff.
Next day it was like 20 deg warm and t shirt time.
This guy stopped aboot 5 kms later put his tent up and started to flog his stuff.The oranges were really good.
Got the Turbine bits of the reefer,talked to the travel agent on the qualcom,inspected rally macnally and of I went to load 5 picks(gooood money)veggies and fruit for sorbeys in calgary started in Huron c.a.then 4 more in Salinas c.a..
Met up with Frank from the H and R dudes at the salinas pilot who was also fueling and headed northbound.

Loaded and leaving sent to the travel agent and its rollin again.
Up past Frisco,I5 and cross to the I80 in sacramento,thru nevada,idaho,montana and slipping into calgary.onve again had no bubbles so no troubles
