Last run before Christmas (Definitely)

Okay i was in Calgary and on a wind down for the holiday. I had just been on the phone to Jan saying it would be funny if they tried to send me to Vancouver just before the holiday........

Then my sattelite beeped and a job came for me.

Take a trailer from cargills in High River and deliver it to Chilliwack
(100
kms from Vancouver)
Well i thought it was a mistake at first, but no, they actually wanted me to go over the mountains, three days before my christmas holiday.........................................

After a bit of a concerned phone call to my dispatcher, he was adamant i was going and assured me that the roads were good, the weather was good.......................

I wasnt convinced !

Anyway i thought if i could get down to Cargills that night then at least i would have a head start so i phoned dispatch. The night dispatcher who answered told me they were very busy and to call back in 2 hours.

He wanted me to sit there (unpaid) till they had time to help me.

I pondered this for about 2 and a half seconds and thought "Screw you" and went to bed.........
