North vs: South, The Humbling of LadyNorth

[LadyNorthStar]

Yep I said it, I have been humbled.

As some of you know I am trucking now in the interior of BC. I came down here thinking ahhhh, nice short, mild winters.
Right!
Not a day goes by I don't wish for the North. I've never spent so much time slipping and sliding around. The excess traffic sucks!
I came down 2 hills today with my tactor and 2 trailers each pointing in their own different direction. I nearly freakin died of heart failure. I was driving cautiously!
It used to be if the drives kicked out on me on a hill or I spun a bit it was a bit exciting, woot the road is a bit slick today. Now....? If I go straight the whole way up a hill I'm like... whoa.. that was weird?!
Not to make light of what I did up North and what Wildkat still does on a daily basis, but its a different set of challenges, some that I would choose over what I have now ANY day.
I still may end up back home one day, and when I do, I will GLADY hit the road up there and feel a hell of a lot safer doing so!

Signed,
Longing for 40 below.

Just remember what your pulling....

Trucking around with a lightly loaded refer 1/2 the time & M/T the other half, on cold snow/pavement... That was easy, now your challenged.

Bitterly cold for 2 weeks, now -1 with those big wet snow flakes...

Still cold in Ft Nelson tho.

Sometimes when my trains are M/T on the slick ice, I just have to relax and drive rather than try and hold it back on the hills ( know what I mean ? )

Sometimes loaded too :wink: Just remember, Only the Best, can handle trains in the winter. You'll be fine, carry spare underwear lol

Signed,
Longing for 15 below

Ah LNS, I'll take -40 over -1 anyday of the week, at least at -40 the weather is stable & you don't get those aweful snowstorm & freezing snizzle :D

I don't envy you one bit my girl, just remember take her cool, don't be afraid to go slow, I hear where yer at, spent 10 years hikin super B's over the Rocks twice per week...I HATE traffic, still, every time I see a motorhome I want to run it off the road...TERRORISTS man terrorists!!! :D :D :D
Be safe out there Lady, be happy to see you up in the frozen wilds any day :D

Am presently shutdown at Radway (on way to Ft Mac) huge snowstorm...got conned into a Ft Mac trip after I got back from Yellowknife this morning...ya know the kind....please...oh PLEASE... LOL so here I sit waiting out a snowstorm that threatens to blow me & my Rocky off the road...really sucks large....

The hog whimpers into the corner, Before the Wrath of the Lady stands on his nuts.... Shame, Shame...

If, she only knew what you said.... Toasted Hog.... :wink:

Your welcome Buddy :lol:

I smell BBQ...


But, seriously Turk, It sucks, It's hard truckin, you know where and what I do, it's not easy, among men, it takes big balls to go and haul the "off road" loads that I do.

Your at a point I was at one time, I used to get so nervous before work because I knew the roads were "really" BAD (you know my job can't wait) and well, sometimes, I was soo upset I would "dry heave" before work, knowing I could kill someone or die myself...

I got thru it, now I say to myself, I AM A BETER TRUCKER than the guy who will be doing it if I quit....

As always, Ron :wink:

You nerd, I don't get nervous like that, I just don't like it. lol The first time I slid down the hill I felt a little ill but the second time it weren't near so bad.
It just makes me not enjoy my job like I used to. Course there are other variables to that too.. grr. Managers suck.

Yes WK, I know that 'oh please' I'm still stuck in a hotel room in Quesnel running to PG thanks to that exact same 'oh please, PLEASE, what can we do for you PLEASEEEE'
grr

LNS, give yourself time to adjust to the different conditions, you'll do just fine.... If you can survive the North you can survive this too.. :D :D

Roadhog: yer a goofball... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Shoulda seen what I had to go thru yesterday...imagine 24 hours to do a 500 mile trip....

Bad accident, tanker & a bus tangled, rumour has it the tanker was at fault, but that could be just talk...I'll reserve judgement...

Hwy was shut down for nearly 8 hours, 25 hurt, no fatalities (thank god). But that road is literally "the highway of death". I HATE that road & avoid it whenever possible. Twice per year (my usual) is too many...

Then finally got back to the city & it's 0C, sloppy day...my truck is white & brown with a purple undercoat!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
No point in washing it till days off...just a waste of $100

Take care out there, likely off to Yellowknife again tonight, so gotta get some shut eye...Be safe out there!

[COLT]

You nerd, I don't get nervous like that

Fine then, just trying to help you feel better.

I'm serious about the spare underwear tho... :wink:

REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.

Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.

We should've known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat-ass man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Rosie Deer... I'm afraid I have indisputable evidence to the contrary. :P

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l236/Leland10/SantaPult.jpg

What you say ...m--a--y be possible, like in Trucking, or trips to visit inlaws.
Somewhat like how right now...I've forgotten what street I was parked on when I found this quote of yours.
(so I'll just stick it here, and pretend this is exactly where I wanted to go)

What this study hasn't taken into account...is some Bucks are just HORNY all the time!!

...ummm by the way, if you don't mind, I have to know... what are you wearing... right now? http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l236/Leland10/29293453c27d83f71d.gif http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l236/Leland10/naughty.gif

Rose might be on to something....

Ouch, this might hurt.... J/K :shock:

[bullhauler]

hey people please wear a seat belt, got stopped in Hurst on the pm of the 23 DEC, for 18 hours, because when the truck came around the corner, a four wheeler was in the middle of the road on a bridge, the big truck swerved to miss the four wheeler hit the guard rail on the bridge, the co driver of this all female team was not wearing her seat belt? She was thrown out the windshield in to the river and under the ice, search and rescue say they may find her, in the spring on the shores of hudson's bay. Both drivers came out without a scratch, so please for your loved ones, please wear the seat belt.

[LadyNorthStar]

What a tragedy bullhauler and a good reminder. I for one am pretty anal about wearing mine. I have this weird superstition that if I don't wear it once, that'll be the day I crash. :roll:
