The mishap with his 'air dryer' freezing up on him, on 'Super Bowl Sunday' turned out better than he was expecting. Once wonderful mechanic was finally willing to forego the 'Big Game' and came out and bypassed the 'air drying' system and so Tomo was ready to go! Either this mechanic didn't like football that much OR they made it worth his while ($$$) to come out and fix the truck on a Sunday. So, Tomo made it from Muscatine, Iowa to Edmonton, Alberta (A) with the furniture and unloaded.
Then his next short adventure was to take his empty trailer down to the border at Sweet Grass, Montana (B) and swap trailers with another driver and bring the a load of furniture up to the University of Alberta in Edmonton (C) again.
Once that load was dropped at the U of A, he headed over to Spruce Grove, Alberta (D) where he picked up a load of wood shavings to swap with another driver at Nisku, Alberta (E).
From there Tomo headed back to Edmonton, Alberta and then on to Saskatoon, Sashatchewan and now is pulling into Regina, Saskatchewan for the night. He is head back to Muscatine, Iowa which seems to be a distribution center for trucking transport.
Some miscellaneous photos from Tomo.
