Laredo to Labrador City, Newfoundland

Nice run.
Take lots of pics.
And don't forget to get the T-shirt in Lab City. Lol.
The Newfies are friendly folks.
Enjoy your trip.

 

Don't shut your truck off and put some fuel additive anti gel in your tanks when you fuel, also safe to have a bunch of groceries

 

Plan your fuel... it is likely just cardlocks once you get past a certain point and your card had better be accepted or you may be SOL ....
+1 bring groceries just in case
if you buy your fuel in Canada you don't need anti gel, but if it makes you feel better then more power to you...
Here is a good website I like to use to see the temperature forecast, mostly just to see if it is going to be deathly cold:

You won't see -60.

 

Fuel in Canada at this time of the year is made for cold weather and you don't have to add a bunch of additives to it.

 

I don't trust Husky enough to take their word heh

 

They work the same as any other cardlock, swipe, input pin and pump number, pump

 

That's big miles Kevin .... and from the civilized world ... north east into the wild !! As previously posted, bring groceries in case you're stuck for a few days. Decent groceries. Google it. Survival food. Doritos are good for Googling survival food only. Warm clothes and blankies in case you lose heat. My old fashioned northern survival kit was a triple army artic sleeping bag, a tobacco can with a roll of toilet paper inside soaked in something like Sterno for emerg heat .... granola bars .... etc etc .... anyway, Google it. "Artic trucking survival checklist" ... I learned the old fashioned way long before Google ...

What's the load ? Mine stuff ? Deck load ? Do you have a load out ?

It's been MANY years since I did the Trans Lab Highway. @Prairie Boy Lucien, didn't you guys run some loads there last year ? Pipe ? Anyway, I think the Trans Lab Highway is pretty much all paved now ..... No really, it used to be 6 days of gravel and moose / caribou way back when ..... good food source BTW.

Pay attention to the weather. In Canada www.theweathernetwork.com .... keyword search "where Santa won't go" ..... LOL ....

Which way are you coming up ? Thru Maine ? Or Ontario ?

Send me a PM if you want. My experience is pretty old, but I might be able to answer some questions or re-direct them. One of my close friends has LOADS of experience with the Gaspe and northern Quebec runs.

'Luck

Oh - EDIT !! Tools !! If you're handy, bring tools and parts. Google that too .... spare clamps, duct tape, various lengths of scrap hydrolic hose that can be temporarily wrapped around a cracked rad hose .... extra fluids ..... etc etc ... you seem like a smart guy so I think you get the idea ....
