An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Who are you and what have you done with the real SSB?

 

Nice. Did you get a load of lav’s and galley’s?

The other driver and I made it to within 200 miles of delivery in Alberta. We should deliver tomorrow morning. 3 days ahead of schedule.

when I’m empty I’m heading to Billings Montana to swap with another driver and take a legal load back to the same job site in Alberta.

We had a bit of excitement today in Montana. The big load route is to go west out of Shelby to Cutbank then north and back east on progressively worse roads until you are right at the Sweetgrass crossing. The roads went from paved to paved with no lines to ground asphalt to gravel of various widths. Some was very skinny (Less then 20’) and some was nice and wide (40’ plus).

We are 17’ wide. we met a 16’ going to other way and were able to squeeze by with ease. The next load was 25’ wide and of course we met him at the skinniest part of the detour. Luckily he had 12’ or better off the ditch side and we only had to backup about half a mile to find a passing location.

 

I filled in the office when lakelands office personnel went on vacation there for 2 weeks. Came in one night at my usual time 2200 there was a 7 foot alligator out in the middle of the yard.

 

What’s that guy with the coat gonna do?

 

I did hear that issue took out several states. Lucky timing for sure.

the routing has its pluses and minuses. I get to see roads and things I would never chose to take typically. We saw some beautiful sights coming across Montana between Billings and great falls.

 

At least harvest hasn't started yet!

 

My good friend Randy Mantz drove on that account with Schneider from 2007 until it ended.

 

Sounds like a man with some experience in gator wrestling
