Go West Again

My deliverys went ok until i asked for my notes back at the last one,humm was the answer, we don't normally hand them back,but i need them i said, humm we've thrown them away (they have been shredded), like we said we don't normally hand them back (the load is a retail load picked up from the wharehouse and delivered to the shop they actually scan you in and out letting the wharehouse know that the load is correct and has been delivered)this isn't any good for our company as now im been made aware off, when i send a message to let them know of the problem.Unfortuantely this antiquated message thing can take ages after 20 mins off nothing i had to pull out of the way and let another driver on the bay but as there was now nowhere to park the earliest place to pull in was about 5 mile down the road.Ding: Message we need a signed copy of delivery note,Hello people im not sure what part off they have thrown all the paperwork away didn't they understand.This message went back and forth for quite a few times thus resulting in, yes they manged to press that little button i have called EXPLODE(I try to always stay calm and take everything in my stride in which is the case most times).The last message from me was," i will wait here you sort it out".At the end of my arms are hands not wands, i can not make things reappear im not a magician, i think by this time they got the message, i was told to go back they have a note for me,so off i go and im presented with a piece of paper signed, so letting despatch know of this i was asked to wait there until they had contacted the wharehouse, i would of thought the easiest thing to do was to fax this straight over to them leaving me out of this would off been better but what do i know.The last time i had paperwork problems was at Goshen and we all know what happened there.Ding: message thats ok.I returned to the land of peace and tranquility once more, this little episode put me back a couple of hours but i still wanted to get down to Saskatoon for the night and most importantly get a shower.Leaving Saskatoon the next morning all refreshed, i pulled up to a set of lights and the car in front stood out a bit well the number plate did you don't see many cars down here from ALASKA maybe he was just lost(ive always wanted to go there).My journey was to be pretty much the same going back as the one i took coming over here,i wanted to stop in Winnipeg for a shower and speak to Lady Pen on skype before heading over to Kenora in Ontario where i wanted to park up for the night.I had seen on my way down here various laybys about 30kms east of here coming down, and decided to stop there for the night by the lake, what a beautifull sight to wake up to makes a very nice change to truck stops.There isnt very many laybys at all over here not like in the UK.I was planning to get back to Brampton for around tea time thursday then if i was heading back east i could just make it back before i needed a reset,anyway i get a message asking if i wanted to run back over to Calgary, sure no probs was my response,so my delivery is due in Calgary Tuesday morning, ive decided to run straight back over to Winnipeg have my reset there and i should just make my delivery time tuesday morning (the 3 hour time difference has certainly hepled here).
