Since arriving over here i have met some great people one being a guy called joe who came over to Canada later on last year,we have sort of clicked, he has really hepled me with loads of info and has been teaching me german (although i don't think what i have learn't will be much use in everyday talking) so thanks mate,Iwas introduced to his lovely wife susanne on skype the other day i know that March can't come quick enough when she comes over for good, he was already parked up for the day when i arrived at Carneys Point so off we went for dinner.He got a load offer for the morning running to Calgary and Edmonton he was looking forward to that since alot of our work revolves around the Eastern Seaboard.He gave me a knock next morning to tell me
that the load was cancelled and he had one back to Moncton, i left him with it and went back to sleep.I had to kill some time as i hadn't anything so i went off to do the washing (no rest for the wicked)There i was in my own little world when another one of our drivers came in to ask me to call the office.I was greeted with we have you a load to Calgary and Edmonton apparently the load was back on again and needed loading asap so i greatfully accepted with a tinge of guilt beause joe was looking forward to doing this so sorry mate.I sorted out everything and set of for gloucester NJ a load of grapes was the order of there day.While sorting out the paper work looked at the delivery date bloody ell this is a truck not a jet anyway after sitting down and working out a route etc with a map and Mr Tom i calculated i could just about do it using everything to hand, fingers, toes, matches etc then i realised that Alberta is 3 hours behind Atlantic time so this gives me more time Nice.It doesn't matter where we are we always run on on home time (Atlantic time so
when we travel west we should always arrive early).So i set of for Philledelphia then out on the i76 for pennsylvannia and on to Ohio where i called it a night.I always have a brew before going to bed just to wind down unfortunately due to the milk taking a turn for the worse i had to do without.So a little sleep is in order ready for the next few long driving days.
