I got a reload same day and only 5 miles from where i tipped, unfortunately i ran out of time 10 mins after i was loaded, so i just stayed there for the night. The next day i made it into Jerome ID, and the day after i got to Lethbridge, which meant i could see Barbara, have some proper food and a shower. The downside was that i had to reduce to 8 hours off to make the delivery in Edmonton. So after a bit of sleep, i rolled out of the yard at 2.30 am. When i was about 5 mins out of Lethbridge, i hit freezing fog. It was like that for about 4 hours, by the time i got to Edmonton i felt like my eye balls were going to fall out. Anyway i went to the delivery, dropped the trailer and bobtailed to the husky on the west side of town. I'll take 12 hours off here, then i'm picking up a trailer tonight to go back to Lethbridge, then i'll take a reset.

  6. Barbara didn't have to do the test anyway. she handed in her license and they sent her canada car one before i got my provisional. i didnt read up before we visited, and the day after we arrived i sat and studied it very carefuly before i drove again!
