Hi Everybody,
Sorry ist been a while since I posted again,but here I am and heres the latest updates.
Training is finished and both Harry and I have been given a brand new truck here she is 85442



As the most of you know Harry and I are driving team,this has been explained in many other Blogs,but I will explain the basics.

1.The truck doesn't stop except for fuel and load / unloads. thats it

the trip this time was, Windypeg, Edmonton, trailer swop, then 6 wally mart drops over night, ending in lyndon land, over to brooks ,trailer swop again after having the one washed then off to Waterloo in Iowa with beef.Meat inspection in sweetgrass,(fighting off the red horde) then down thru montana,wyoming and South dakota.
dropped the trailer picked up an empty and then off to the Trans x yard in minneapolis.Picked up empty skids there and shot off to st cloud in minnesota to load dead chickens for Canadur.after finding the hole were the chickens were culled its back onto the interstate, crossing at Sarnia and dropping in the company yard in Mississauga.
there are times when you have a layover and 85442 can cool down !!one of them was here were we got a 10 hour break.Then picked up a reefer and headed with an ltl load back to the peg along route 17 which is were i tried the video thung again and posted on the preivios post.
The trip was a good one and got good miles,although we ran hard as they say ; we did off course stop for showers everyday as well as lifes little things,like cawfee and the iron skillet brekkies buffet.
here are a few pics again
