James Update:

I just had a call from James and I guess he is running behind as he had to wait for his load in Manitoba. He did make his trip to Ear Falls, Ont with no problems. Apparently the place he was loading was waiting for a part or something, so he didn't get to head south as soon as he wanted/hoped. On his call, he had just crossed into North Dakota and is enroute to Fargo where he has to pick up another part of his load.

The load that he has on now (skidder) is about 14 feet wide so he can only travel during daylight hours. He is hoping that he can make it to Saux Center, Minnesota tonite as they have a nice truck stop there and a good store. He would like to see what they have on sale now that the 'tourist' season is overwith.

All told James is not making too many miles so far this month. If I remember correctly he said he had only gone 3900 kilometers (now not sure if this was miles or kilometers) since the 1st of the month. It is darn hard to make any good money when you are travelling that few miles.

However, after he does his drop/pickup in Minnesota, he is then supposedly heading towards Edmonton. That would give him some good mileage. But of course time will tell if he gets rerouted somewhere else...
