Re: A year later...
Really pleased that it is going so well for you both.
I take it when you pass your truck test you will drive team as a couple?
(that is the only way I agree that driving team works)
Do you ever find "riding shotgun" boring and don't you get sick of the sight of each other every now and again?

and sure there are times we get fed up but I think it depends on your own personality. I can always switch the tv on, watch a dvd or if I really want to p*** him off I put the PS3 on and mess up his saved games
he soon comes round to my way of thinking

Thanks BT, you wouldn't believe the things i find to do in such a small place and sure there are times we get fed up but I think it depends on your own personality.

just a wee question on Clarkes:
Do they expect/want you to be away for 10/14 days or if you weren't that bothered about getting big miles can you go for 3/4/5 day runs?

Re: A year later...
There are times when we get a 'short run', i.e., maybe a Montreal and back to Halifax but we are contracted and informed at the time of the interview that flatbed work is more often than not a 10 day trip. I believe that Van work is slighty shorter possibly 7 days.

Re: A year later...
I think its because i said i loved you really lol.........
Seriously though, we have been through the peg a few times buddy, but usually were going towards edmonton, i move a lot of crane parts to Myshak or Liebherr in Acheson AB, usually we would head towards Winnipeg from there either carrying a Military Vehicle from Wainwright AB, or deadheading it to Steinbach for some sleds, so yes we pass through sometimes not always.
saying that though i forgot, we also move the Oversize rings from NL to GE in the peg
