Havn't done this for a while so for this trip I will write about it in depth. What time I start, mileages covered and so on.
The trip got off to a bad start and I arrived at Brooks Alberta, saturday, around noon with an empty trailer from Calgary, dropped it then went into security to find out that I was waiting for paperwork.
Got the nod at 8pm that I was good to go and picked up what must be H&r's oldest trailer, slid the axles and set off.
Ran to Lethbridge for them to sort out their side of things, ran to Milk river and parked up around midnight. Did a whopping 256 miles in around 15hrs which is not a good payday !!!
The load is classed as "in bond" which means its just transiting the USA on its way to Mexico so therefore it does not have to clear meat inspection which is a bit of a blessing but I dont receive the $30 bonus.
Left at 8am on Sunday, poured 145 gallons of fuel into Piglet (3120) at Shelby, bought a Subway sandwich and set off southbound.
Stopped at the Walmart, Helena in Montana and got some grocery's then again at Butte to check my emails.
Ran for 4hrs to Fort Hall Idaho and called it a day at the Casino on the Indian Reservation, ate and gambled a little too much then went to bed.
Did a 12.5 hour day and drove 520 miles which leaves me 932 miles to cover in 2 days which is music to my ears.
