The Truck Driver's Schedule

As I said earlier, the roads in Saskatchewan were not really great yesterday. James had to head up to Vonda to pick up a load and then headed to Winnipeg. He took the route of traveling back down Hwy 41 to the edge of Saskatoon and then east on Hwy 5 to Hwy 2 and then south to Hwy 16. That little jaunt took him just over 2 hours. Believe me, he was not looking forward the rest of the trip.

James did call tonite and he made it to Winnipeg with no problems. He is now sitting in Morris, Manitoba for the nite. Tomorrow he'll head down to Crystal City for a load of hay and then he is off to Nashua, Iowa.

After he unloads his hay in Iowa, he has no idea where he'll be going. One of the other drivers that is traveling the same direction as James thought James would likely be heading to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. If not, then James figures he should be back in Canada sometime Friday night.

One good thing is that James does have new rubber on his tractor unit. Interesting though is that the tires are a bit smaller than the previous tires. While driving today, he figures his speedometer is out 5-6 kms. He was going to mention that to the boss in case someone else drives the truck. I advised him that with smaller tires, they would go around quicker, so in essence he would be shown as driving more miles than he actually did.

Miles are dollars :-)
