The Trucker's Travels

James headed out yesterday enroute to Lethbridge, Alberta. He was hoping that from there he would be able to head south to Kansas City. I talked to him this morning and sadly the trip south is not going to happen at this point in time. If he in fact headed south, he would end up sitting all weekend as this is the Thanksgiving weekend in the States. He might as well do some trucking in Canada and make a few miles rather than sitting idle doing nothing.

James arrived in Lethbridge last night and then had to sit over night to await to get unloaded. After unloading he had to continue to sit in Lethbridge for about another 3 hours waiting for the boss to find another load. He is now finally heading up to Vulcan, Alberta for another load. From there he is not sure which way he will be heading. There is a possibility that he may pick up a load of telephone poles in the Calgary area and then onto Regina, but at this point in time James just doesn't know.

Actually poor James is getting a bit frustrated with the current boss/company. Having to sit and wait in the middle of nowhere is not great at the best of times. Of course when you are sitting and parked, James makes no dollars as he get paid 'by the mile'. Then to have your pay cheque marked "NSF" is just about the end of the line for an employee. Hopefully, the company is just going through a phase and 'Roger' will get it together and get things back on track.

I'm sure James and the other drivers would definitely appreciate it.
