Update

During our last reset, we got a pre-plan for a load from Lethbridge, typical. Anyway, night despatch couldn't find an m/t trailer for us to run down with, so we sacked it and went back to bed. In the morning we got an m/t,and ran down to Lethbridge to pick up our loaded one for London Ontario. Barbara had decided she was going to have a bit of time away from the truck, so i dropped her in Lethbridge. The load was due in London at 09:00 monday morning, so i would be three days of hard graft! There was heavy snow in Dryden Ontario, and a couple of trucks had jacknifed and were blocking the road. I got to the drop on monday with about 10 mins to spare. As soon as i had tipped i got an assignment to load asap in Mississauga, about an hour or so away. What a great result. Usually when you get into Toronto you drop your trailer in the yard and wait for a loaded one to come in, this could take hours and hours. So to tip and load the same trailer in half a day is perfect. After i'd loaded i couldn't be bothered to go anywhere, so i parked up at 2pm in the husky. The load is going to Saskatoon, for friday am, so i've got 3 days. That will take me close to 7000 kms in 7 days, thats similar to driving from Leeds to London and back approx 11 times in 7 days! Anyway i'm parked in Kapukasing Ontario which is in the middle of nowhere, and coronation street's on the telly, so i'm going to be sad and watch it. ta tah
