Been a while since I have blogged, various reasons which shall remain under the un official secrets act....
OK here we go again first the new ride.....
Now those of you in the know will notice from the unit number that its not a company truck number as they all start with 85
87777 thats the companys newest owner op (yours truly)and there newest freightshaker.
475 BHP detroit DD15 Engine with the usual 13 speed Eaton Fuller,Thermo King APU
and lots of lovely little aditions.
K after all the mods that needed to be added were added (tripack,toolbox,moosey bumper etc) my new travel agent (Nichole) gave me the flight plan, Mcdonalds fries from Portage to Springfield Ohio
At the Chip place I had an issue with the 5th wheel not wanting to go were I wanted it but the force won the battle and we were good on the weight side.
TA truckstop about 20kms from the customer, book was full so its fuel and shower for us both.
next day was an experiance as there was no water, so bathrooms were out of bounds....good job I only needed to brush the teeth.
K after the shock abated and the Fries were evicted... The oricle spoke. load in Schuyler NB for calgary.(dont usualy run back to alberta but as Xmas is raising its head and I have distained to be on the Xmas fleet, trucks are needed out west for the xmas meat loads)Did the kill plant thing and off we slid Alberta bound
little truck stop on the 81 shower and brekkies $11 ( put it straight into tom tom under Favs)
scale house in Schuyler
HWY 81
Got sum monkey food at the Wally
Crossed at Coutts which is sweetgrass but on the canadur side,
must be slippy round here
Yup
Dropped in the yard and got my new flight plan, off to Laredo TX so its an Xmas in the sun,tequilla, Mehican food and things
Happy Xmas everybody.
