Unloading ....Tracy California



Hello, well the last load got cancelled after waiting 20hrs for it and was replaced with a one hitter to Tracy California so other than wasted time things didnt work out too badly.
Ran down through Montana, Idaho and on the second night parked at the wonderfully named town of Jackpot Nevada. The only real attraction of the town is that its made up of half a dozen casino's and thats about it.
Ended up throwing $20 into the slots and came away 10mins later with $50 so I cashed out and called it a night.



Big day yesterday as I ran straight to the customer in Tracy and arrived late last night. At the minute I am being unloaded and can feel the truck rocking as the beef is being taken off, its all at a price of course....$180 for the privilege of being unloaded.
After I am done here the plan is to run to Port Huenneme California and load bananas back to Edmonton which will unload the morning of 19th so it will be a big push to get there in time.
