My truck doesn't suck!

OK, to all you people dumping on my truck, it doesn't suck...anymore...OK!!??

The Ohio shop is really the place to go to get work done, they fixed more things than I ever expected.. Funny how one get's used to things that are broken or out of alignment after putting up with them for a long time. They fixed everything on my list, and then some, so I am very pleased with the work they did, even though it took a month of Sundays to complete!

Canada was not so much fun this time. Bad paperwork, and worse weather combined to make for a challenging run that didn't have a lot of miles attached to it. I was glad to get back into the States, and will hopefuly be running a bunch down here.

When the miles are good, I don't mind Canada, but little things, like not knowing where the truck stops are, or dealing with currency issues tend to make it more challenging than driving to Alabama, for example. I actualy like the way people drive up there, except in the city during a blizzard! Then they are just like any other city I have driven in, impatient and reckless.

Needless to say I was glad to cross the border into New York, I cleared the border, and pulled over for the night. This trip out has been nothing, if not exausting and frustrating. It has NOT been very profitable, but at least I'm still rolling miles, and there are many Drivers this time of year, and in this economy, that are not so lucky, so I will count my blessings. I did talk to my dispatch team about picking up some more miles in the next week, and it looks like things will get better once I get into the south.

Time will tell...
