Just got my next job come thru and is collecting on Friday to go to Chicago, thats not too good as its only Monday today, time off is nice but it dont pay the bills.
I asked if i could do a short run in the mean time so ive been sorted out with a run across into Vancouver and a load back to Calgary, that should keep me busy for the next week or so and give me a chance to run 2148 up and down the "Coke".
It looks like we have been accepted onto the PNP program, cant remember if i already told you that but anyway thats stage one out of the way.
Tonight we are just relaxing and watching a bit of TV, went to see another house today and it was very nice, pretty reasonably priced too.

Hey there,
ReplyDeleteThis is a bit obscure...
Am an Australian writer (check out my blog www.markmordue.com) researching truckers in Canada for a novel I'm working on.
I especially need to know two things:
1) a list of canadain truckie slang, words, langauge (and their meaning!)
2) details on how to handle big truck rigs in icy and snowy weather, especially in mountainous roads whch get a bit curvy (someone might have a story or two?).
I hoped you might be able to drop me an email and point me in right direction? Or someone you know can help? If not sorry to clog up your blog with an obscure request for help!
