The last post was Tomo swapping loads in Butte, Montana, a load of concrete that was headed to Calgary and then on to Grande Prairie, Alberta. After dropping his load in Grande PrairieEmpty from Grande Prairie, Tomo headed to the border via Edmonton. He swapped trailers at the border in Sweetgrass, Montana. He picked up a load of soy milk that was headed to Regina, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Tomo dropped his load in Regina and started towards Winnipeg but 15 miles out of Regina, one of the drive tire popped. So he headed back to Regina. He could only drive 35 mph or less, so slow going. He just parked there and spent the night there in Regina. He got the tire fixed the next morning in town and was on his way.

| Fuel pumps in Winnipeg, Manitoba |
When Tomo got to Winnipeg, he was going to fuel up, but the fueling station was shut down. When truck stops run out of fuel this is what it looks like. Apparently there was an explosion at multiple refineries and they were low on fuel in general around here. Pumps were shut down for about 12 hours. After dropping my load, Tomo returned to the truck stop and got in line to wait. When he got there, he only had to wait about an hour for his turn.
He finished dropping all his loads and had breakfast and then went to bed.
At that point he didn't know what the next plan was.
