Javier Encinas - A Spanish view on Immigration

Javi is a Spanish truck driver who presently works in Ontario, he used to have his own truck an worked out of Barcelona until he discovered the "Great White North". He did what most of us did, sold up and shipped out.

Excuse my poor memory Javi but when we met up at customs i had just woken up and the old brain wasnt firing on all three cylinders (or should that be four). I know you said you came over last year but i cant remember when, by my very rough calculations it must have been about October, im sure you will correct me if im wrong.

We used to correspond by email last year when he was thinking of coming over here so i hope i was of some help. Thats all water under the bridge now and it looks as though he and his wife have settled in nicely now.

By the way our meeting was completely by chance, John (my co-driver) and i had got into the customs complex in the early hours on the "Off Chance" that we could resolve certain customs problems we were having then press on into Mississauga.

Well it wasnt to be so we parked up for 4 hours and got some sleep without the engine running (bliss). Next morning i left John to do the pretrip and paperwork and i was going to toddle off to the customs broker and see if we could sort this mess out.

As i jumped out of the cab and spun round there was this happy smiling face grinning at me, and that was Javi. Apparently he also pulled in with customs problems, recognised 3045 and parked next to us, i asked him why he wasnt banging on the door to say hello and he said he didnt want to wake me up, What a gentleman, LOL !!!!!!

Now Javi has also been running a blog site for some time now, check it out here.

Thanks Javi, you never sent me the link, i had to google it, got it now though.

Anyway it was great to finally meet you and i got your email buddy, you'll get my reply in the next couple of days as i want to ponder it a little before i send.

Safe Journeys and stay in touch.
