A year later...

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?

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.

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
