Philly trip

Sat waiting to get into the street
Finally got in to unload
Downtown Philladelphia
Well i dont know where to start with this trip. I had -25 with blowing snow through North Dakota. Black ice from Fargo to Minniapolis. Snow and ice in Wisconsin. Slussy mucky stuff through Ohio, and snow right through Pennsylvania. Then just to top things off, Philladelphia had the biggest snow fall on record since the 1800's, the day before i was delivering! Where i had to deliver was a maze of one way streets, made narrow by the abandoned cars and snow banks. So i eventually gets to the drop and the fella says he cant tip me until the morning. Brilliant. So when everybody finished at the drop, i pulled around the corner and parked for the night, and i can say with all honesty, that was probably the roughest place i have ever parked in. Anyway i got tipped and set off for for my reload in West Virginia. Got that loaded with no troubles and set off back to Brampton. The run back up through Pennsylvania and New York state was really good, all back roads, but good all the same. On the way back i got a pre-plan for a load to go over to Edmonton, i could have set of with it this afternoon, but decided to finish early and have a decent rest instead.
