H&R Drivers - Finch


Finch is a Canadian H&R driver who was 3045's first driver and is responsible for putting in the carpet and a few other nice touches and now drives 3132.

We first met up in Nipigon Ontario on my last little run round North america and i scooted passed him again the following day, Dryden i think that was.

Anyway, on Friday i was hooking up to a trailer and this truck came passed me and tooted the horn, i didnt realise who it was till we met up at the scales, he had a bonded (passing thru the states and into Mexico) load which was too heavy on the trailer axles and he had to go back to the yard and dump some trailer fuel.

The following day i was at Great Falls and found out that the back road was closed so i diverted down the I 15 towards Butte. I noticed a scenic overview that i hadnt photographed yet so i pulled in and guess who was there.........

Anyway we drove on down towards Butte, chatting on the CB and Finch told me about a figurine in the mountains, anyway the pics of that are in the next article.

Finch has been with H&R for a couple of years but before that has spent some time in law eforcement and is also a Calgary Flames fan, he's a great guy with some fantastic stories so if you see him out on the highways gve him a shout or a wave.

He will be starting up his own blog soon so check it out for a Canadian perspective...

  1. Hey Lyndon, FINCH here, love the website. Lookin better and better each day. Gott ask a question, and i know it will sound dumb, but can u change one thing about my description you posted about me? The sentence "some time in the RCMP (Mounties)" can you maybe change it to "Spent some time in Law Enforcement." Just don;t want too many people to know as a LOT of people, expecially driver will consider me a "Rat" if they decide to do illegal activities and think i will rat them out to H&R. I know, it's weird. Also wanted to pass on my e-mail addy. finchy33@hotmail.com Sitting here in Port Heuneme after sitting the day in San Diego. LONG story. Be safe!
