That's cause of our roads Ronin...we don't have a huge pile of 4 lane highways here...esp in the far north where Lady & I run & also I would imagine with our multitudes of different trailer configurations we have that are different from yours.
Which I could understand in the north of 60, and other remote areas.

Don't worry, it won't happen. Even though My father's side of the family is from Ontario It's too much hassle to go there anymore, but both governments are to blame for that. That and I'm not fond of paying money to get back into my own country, that's supposedly why I pay taxes. |

The two hour deferral is good in B.C. make it good the next day...
How many times a schedule, I don't remember...
No mention of an engine L.N.
Too overcast to see the shine of your new truck, the shine won't last long... :?
Baked on bugs.... :evil: |

Its called a truck wash Colt. lol Actually if you spray on some Bug and Tar remover the bugs and their residue come off quite nice.

No, no COLT, I'm talking about a rule about adverse road conditions, like if you get stuck in a snow storm or whatever, you can drive up to 2 extra hours to make your destination...PROVIDED you can normally do it in the normal 13/15 hour HOS rules.
The deferal thing you are talking about can be done every other day...that is where you can defer 2 hours of your 10 required off-duty time to the next day, but then you MUST make up those 2 hours within the next off-duty shift...hense 12 hours off instead of 10.
Lady, I won't be up tonight...gotta go sit in class tomorrow, then going to Yellowknife, so likely will be up there on Monday night, so if that happens will be in Nelson Tuesday afternoon & if it's not too hot there then will likely stay till 9/10 pm something like that. If it's too hot then I usually go back to where it's higher...like Sikanni or Pink Mountain...cooler up there.
Will send you a bleep on Monday & let you know. |

| I thought I'd be goin up tonight but ended up with the weekend off. Kinda worried, someones back from holidays, but they said they'd keep me busy no problem. Time will tell, if not, I got another call so I guess a change would be happening again. |

Hey Kat, new truck number to look for. The guy came back from holidays and apperantly he wanted his truck back. The nerve!
Anyway they gave me my own now that the other guys is out of the shop. So I'm in 439 now, its identical :P but has a set of light force and a set of jetco lights on the front.
I'm off till Saturday, gotta fly to Edmonton for a couple days, but I'll be out on the weekend.

| I'm just witing for confirmation, but I think I'm heading to Nelson today, load lumber in the morning then head to Dawson Creek for a switch. Course I have no idea what time my switch would be leaving edm, but when would you be going through dawson and when do you sleep? Maybe we could end up running up together? |

Nevermind, scratch that plan. They are too short drivers.
Just going to Nelson today instead, so good chance I will have the weekend off, so call me Sunday if you're here! |
