No evidence of any storm here mate, a little snow (about 3-4 inches) no wind and no power outages. I know we have it to come but so far so good....................touch wood
My Dad always said, if I can do things the hard way I will:rofl: so arriving in Winter sounds good. Seriously though by the time we get there and OH has done his training it might not be so bad ;) Rosie |

We had the worst winter ever, i had ice an inch thick on the INSIDE of my windows but i stuck it out through the winter and stayed for 15 yrs. Best of luck and good wishes for January, and of course we wish you a merry xmas and a fantastic new year. Andy |

In some ways it's the best time to arrive. If you get through your 1st winter, things get better and you know you survived the worst that Canada can throw at you.

Andy My 1st winter driving was a bit like yours in Leeds, a crappy old truck that I spent more time defrosting the inside of the windows than the outside :D. Waking up in Watford and everything had frozen, I couldn't get engine started, had a timed delivery after a lot of fing and jeffing, slamming doors etc an old guy came over with a kettle of hot water poured it on the air tank, I think, and hey ho I was off. I could have kissed him. We hope you and your family have a brill Christmas, I bet your little girl is getting excited, and of course an excellent New Year. Rosie |

Info regarding PEI speeding enforcement:
To change your preferences and receive email as plain text, visit www.gov.pe.ca/mailinglists. http://www.gov.pe.ca/news/email-graphics/n.gif For Immediate Release December 11, 2007 Radar Guns To Be Installed In Commercial Vehicle Patrol Cars CHARLOTTETOWN, PEI -- In its ongoing efforts to improve safety on Prince Edward Island Roads, the Department of Transportation and Public Works will soon install new radar equipment in its two Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE) patrol cars. This new speed measurement equipment will give CVE Officers the ability to issue charges to operators of commercial vehicles under the Highway Traffic Act for speeding violations. This new safety initiative will complement the officers’ regular duties regarding vehicle weights and dimensions, equipment compliance and driver qualifications. “This new equipment will allow our CVE Officers to better enforce commercial vehicle speed,” says Minister of Transportation and Public Works Ron MacKinley. “We hear a lot of complaints about speeding trucks. Having this equipment on board our patrol cars will serve as a strong speeding deterrent for commercial vehicle operators and will improve the safety of our Island roads.” Highe r penalties for, and better enforcement of, speeding have so far been priorities for Minister MacKinley. In the fall sitting of the Legislature, the government passed amendments to the Highway Traffic Act that saw the flat rate for speeding increased by fifty dollars, and saw a doubling of speeding fines in school and construction zones. -30- Issued at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island by Island Information Service.

Hi All,
Have a merry Christmas all and a great New Year. Still here in PEI and still driving for Seafood, Everything going well and moved all our stuff into our house and now starting to feel like home now. Got two siamese kittens for my daughter. I have been busy driving and have to say it's been all good fun most of the time, you get the odd time where you have to wait but nothing to bad that you couldnt handle thou. Truck is running well and a good drive but not as refined as european ones, too much noise and the ride is not that great, other than that it's good to be able to move around the cab when you have parked up for a while. I will put some more pics on soon and tell more of what is going on here and with the job. LOAFY...:thumbsup: |
Re: SEAFOOD EXPRESS... By LOAFY & CHRIS12.

LOAFY...:thumbsup: We're in the process of moving to Canada (Eastern Seaboard), and I'm keen to get out of Government work. When we settle I'd like to do something different, and I've always fancied driving. Going to do my Class 1 HGV over here first. Does Seafood or any other companies you know of employ 'rookie' drivers for smaller vehicles? Regards Alastair J |

Regards Alastair J You dont say how you plan to move but you say you are in the process, what process is this and how have you applied to emmigrate? This will make a big difference to the answers which people can provide. Cheers Dave |
