No time off and feathers ruffled a little

Early morning in Utah

Frozen waterfalls

Hi. Well when I got to Calgary the city driver who works locally told me to drop the trailer at the customer and he would tip it so thanks to him and I will buy him a drink if I see him out.
Next day I was dispatched to do a trailer swap in British Columbia at 11am. I arrived at the customer and was told that the load would be at least a few hours until it was ready so I had some food and generally wasted time until then. At 1630 I got the all clear to go and saw my backside a bit as it was a 6hr drive through the mountains to meet the lad who would deliver the load. As it turned out the weather wasnt too bad and I made good time, switched trailers and went to bed. The following morning I slept in and didnt wake until 1030 but no harm was done and I plodded on into Calgary. On the way I asked dispatch if it was possible to have the truck serviced in Lethbridge so I could have a day off and was told basically that the truck could be serviced anywhere and I was not a priority as I had not booked the time off. Now forgive me but I have worked for the last 17weeks and the only day I have had off was the last time the truck was in for service, was it too much to ask for a 24hr period where I could do as I wished. Although I was a bit miffed I shrugged the comment off and carried on.
The trailer I had switched was dropped in Calgary last night and I had already been preplanned to pick up a trailer to drop at Lethbridge but the load confirmation never came through.
It was panic stations this morning, I needed to pick up the trailer and get it to Lethbridge asap. No problem as the load was ready to go at High River and I was dropping the trailer by 1100am.
I am now sat in the Sandman Hotel courtesey of H&R as the truck is being serviced. For the first time in a long time I have had a few pints and relaxed. Although its only been a few hours I am looking forward to getting back in the truck and doing some work, sad eh!
I am off to Des Moines Iowa tomorrow and have plenty time to get there so I am quite looking forward to it.
Nothing else has really happened, the weather up here was not as bad as I was told but as you can see by the pics the cold does bring some beautiful things to see.
Coming up soon is a guide on how to put on snowchains with plenty of pics, bet your already looking forward to it !!!!
