Truck fixed now

Just a quick one.... my truck was fixed and ready to go at 12pm Sunday. While I was waiting I was looking at the CD players and Freightliner had one on sale for $72 that would fit into my truck with out changing the leads. The best thing about it its got the jack socket on the front so I can plug my Sirius radio in and my i-pod.

I went up to Fargo to fuel up and was going to call it a night there as I don't like driving too late and in the dark. I backed into a slot and it was still light so I looked at my route and said sod it I carried on for another 2.5 hours and parked at a fuel station in a place called Carrington North Dakota. I had a very good nights sleep no wi-fi but I have been on line for the last couple of days so one nights not going to hurt.

I have got to do a very good days driving 700+ miles today as my deliver time has been brought forward till 7am tomorrow. When you cross the Canadian border you flick to Canadian driving rules which means I can drive for 13 hours so I am going to do my best to get as close to Calgary as I can tonight. I have worked it out I can get within about 50 miles of Calgary so it would be a short hop to the deliver point in the morning.

HI LYNDON LOL

Tracker

Me and George (The big trip) are chatting on line and looking at our trackers and we are both getting hits by an H&R driver who is still at Ogden Utah. This tracker allows you to add there names so instead of you looking up there IP address there name comes up Automatic.

HAHAHAHAHA No more anonymous comments lol.

A couple of pics of my truck

A few pics of my truck I have just spoke to Freightliner it seems number 6 liner moved and smashed the head so I have just been over to take a look at my trailer to see if everything is OK and while I was there I thought I would take a couple pf pics for my blog.

driver at the Flying J

There is an H&R driver in the Flying J in Ogden Utah who has been looking at my blog for the last 2 days he must be on a reset I wonder who that could be lolololol.

Thanks Mick Fly

Good news when I took Mick on his mentor trip he had a muck about with my computer and put a tracking device on there so when ever someone goes on my blog its tracked and if I am reading it right that comment about arse licking came from a guy who lasted not even 3 months at H&R and who is back in the UK so good luck with your life LOSER.


WHAT A JOKE COULDN'T EVEN LAST HAHAHAHA.

Hire Truck

I just thought I would add this bit as well.

I was offered a hire truck from Penski to take my load to Calgary but my load does not have to be in Calgary until the 31st so I said I would stay in the hotel (paid for by Penski) while mine got fixed. I am sat here chillin out and updating my blog and when this is done I will be going for a swim.

I am not getting paid but that's trucking in North America for you its whats called swings and roundabouts, rough with the smooth, then tonight I am going down to a very nice sports bar that I went to last night for a big steak meal.
