In Billings, Montana Tomo experienced a long, long, long train that made for a bit traffic mess in the city. It blocked traffic for 5 to 7 minutes and this is something that never happens in Japan. If the train blocks traffic here for more than a minute or two, it is a big deal!!

Tomo left Billings, Montana and made his way to Edmonton, Alberta with his light load of empty pet bottles. Tomo reached Edmonton, Alberta with the empty pet bottles early in the morning and dropped his load.

After that Tomo went over and picked up a load of wood chips from Edmonton and headed south to Calgary, Alberta. The wood chips are actually bound for Iowa, but another driver was carrying a rushed load and he was out of driving time on his clock, so ... Tomo went and swapped trailers with this driver and drove back to Edmonton, Alberta with a load of miscellaneous groceries, from frozen to canned.
Tomo is now at his destination waiting for the early morning grocery crew to come in to unload his truck. After he drops his load of groceries, he will call into the boss to see what the next run will be. Then Tomo will head to a local truck stop and have a lovely sleep for the next few hours ! (hopefully 10 hours! Sweet dreams! : D )
