H&R Transport

More than likely if you pushed on of those old Charcoal gray and pink COEs. Most of were team drivers back then. I was lucky enough to push a KW100. ####, that seems like a million years ago.

 

LOL, Well, the old KW COEs were a bit more modern than that.

 

I was driving for Western Expressways at the time. Hadf tyerrminals in Prince Alberta, Saskatoon, Melfort, Regina and Winnipeg.

 

Then indeed we did cross paths on the old highways, or could have actually met at one time. I was across Canada cowboy. Our dispatchers, if we ever used them, were in Vancouver and Toronto. There was a scale man in Regina who went by the name of Swede; He was a scotch drinker and was rarely sober; big gut and had vision problems when looking at his scales. We could be pulling 5 - 8 thousand lbs over and he would just wave us through. Do you have any idea what happened to him? This was about 1964; I think.

 

I don't remember him. Made many stops at Moosomin. I think the old gals name was Blanche or Marie. Great food at that place. TCHE made a lot of stops there.

 

I stopped there quite often. I can't remember the name of the place but from what I have been told, it is still in operation but rebuilt a few times. It was on the right hand side traveling east from what I can recall.

 

Blanche's was on the left going east.

 

Jeez, my old age is showing it's self.

 

Pioneer Trucking sounds like a great company that pays all those hours. Bhahahah
