Salt Lake City. Utah

Picked Tom up from the airport on Monday night, from the flight landing to him walking out through customs took 25 mins which is pretty impressive.
Ran down to Lethbridge on Tuesday as there was some confusion over how much time off I had booked but once that was cleared up I picked up a loaded trailer in the yard and ran south to Salt Lake City. Initially Tom was refused entry into the States as there were some wrong details on the Ace Manifest and to add to the time wasted the load I was carrying which was cat litter is deemed as radioactive so an inspection was necessary.
Arrived at the customer last night and off loaded this morning at Costco which went really well and took just over an hour.
Sat at a Flying J waiting for a reload and by the sounds of it we are heading back north to Calgary

Hi Tony and Mick.
Yup, Tom is back over until Feb 4th.
Night heaters packed in last night and I bet he wished he was back home as temps inside the cab according to a temp probe hit a low of -4.9F, thats -20C.
Going to buy some auxillary heater today as last night was just ridiculous.
Cheers for now
