Well on Friday night, Tomo was at a truck stop in Waverly, Iowa when he had a call from a fellow trucker that was headed up to Saskatoon with a load that would deliver on Monday. This was the load that Tomo would have loved to have, as it would have given him the weekend in Saskatoon with the friends that put him up when his truck broke down last winter. Oh, well.... maybe another time.
So as Tomo was heading up to Edmonton, he had a feeling something was wrong and pulled over to check his truck. Well, just outside of Saskatoon he found that his truck was leaking fuel big time. The seals had worn out and so..... he was towed back to Saskatoon for the night. It was Victoria Day in Canada and a national holiday so the shops were all closed. Tomo was able to call the friends and in the end had a nice time with them for the night.
On Tuesday morning, he took his truck to the freight liner shop in Saskatoon and they finished with it at 4:00 pm. Tomo spent the night again in Saskatoon and on Wednesday morning at 6:00 am he left for Edmonton, Alberta. He arrived at 11:00 am with the hopes to get unloaded at Lowe's in Edmonton quickly. He got to the loading dock at 11:15 am but didn't get unloaded until 5:00 pm. After that his Drive Manager told him to go to Calgary for the night.
On Thursday morning he started in Calgary, came down to the yard. It was the first time in a long time, that he dead-headed (traveling empty) down to the yard from Edmonton. He picked up a trailer that was bound for Calgary and he had to be there by 13:00 on Friday. He spent the night at Rocker, Montana and headed out at 4:00 in the morning.
These are pictures between Great Falls and Helena, Montana.
It was dumping rain from Calgary down to Shelby and started to lift from Shelby on. Very nice weather all the way from great falls and south.
Currently Tomo is bob-tailing it to Regina, Saskatchewan to pick up a trailer that was left there last winter when another driver had a break down. Then Tomo is taking that trailer down to Minot, North Dakota for a swap....... he thinks..... always changing so.... wait and see.
