So there i was heading towards Toronto all planned to do my delivery in the morning (Thursday)when ping i get a message,drop my trailer in Brampton Ontario that night and leave the notes in the back,hummm i thought rather strange, but not one for creating work for myself i did as i was asked then duly headed off for a decent nights sleep (yes again).It was only the sound of the qualcom going ape that woke me up it was gone 10.30 (i must of needed it all this hard work ive been doing lol)so being a good dad i made The Fresh Prince get out of bed to read it,errrr it says something like we have a trailer loaded for us and will be with us later on today going to Utah,California and Arizonia.Yeah sure what does it really say, thats when i dec
ided to have a look myself and thats what the message said.So thats where were off to,our trailer arrived in the early evening i sorted all the paperwork out, weighed it off (i don't take yeah its ok as a true weight)but it was ok so off we headed down to Windsor for the night.Ive crossed this border many times coming back into Canada but never the other way,it really is a dump when you enter into the States here, i've heard there is a massive argument between the Bridge owners and the Government about what is suppose to be happening there so nothings been done.My route was basically jump on the i80 this then takes me through Ohio,Indiana,Illinois,Iowa,
Nebraska and Wyoming before dropping me into Salt Lake City Utah where my first delivery is.Ive heard there is a huge truck stop in Iowa, funny enough its called the Iowa 80 mainly because its in Iowa and on the i80 (how unique)so i thought i might stop and have a look on my way past.This is how it panned out, i try and always use Flying J truckstops for my evening stops due to me having an internet account with them so i can skype LadyPen, so when i see one in Davenport Iowa which was about where i was looking to park i headed in.No big deal next morning off i set early, and not 10 mins into my journey there i was hurtling past the famous Iowa 80 derrrrrrrr its the worlds biggest truckstop thats what i read as i drove past it ...........so maybe if im passing back this way i will pull in and have a look so sorry no pictures from there but if all goes to plan
what i have lined up will be way better than a
truckstop.
