Per @YYCHM request- we heading to Vancouver from Ontario, loading tomorrow Wed May 18.

As we can’t drop into the USA currently we likely going to be bouncing around out west until the office finds us a load home to Ontario

So, find a great deal that’s just a bit too far away or in another province but gas prices killing the deal?

All complaints are to be directed to @YYCHM this trucker is just a driver, @YYCHM is the management
 
I did just commit to a universal grinder half a province away....... But I think I want to pick it up and meet the fellow who is selling it, that is half the fun.... And you know, I don't get let out much. :)
If you need some "down time" on your truck and are in the neighborhood just bring it by here to "Honest Don's Untimely Truck And Trailer Repairs"...... I rarely get anything done and the best part is that I don't charge for what I don't do. So you can explain to the powers to be how you have saved them money.....;)
Huge serious hint though..... Come into BC with as much fuel as you can, it's really getting expensive this side of the Rockies and highest anywhere in North America in the Vancouver area.......

Regular gas in Vancouver is $2.30ish. Yesterday $90 to fill my Toyota Matrix. Us old folks think in gallons - $10.40 per gallon.

Good lord. The world is crazy.
Tell me about it. Back in my hot rod days, I drove a mildly hopped-up 61 GMC 1/2 ton, 4-bolt 327, all the usual bolt-on vroom-vroom stuff. Vancouver to Hope Sunday drive (Toronto to Barrie for you Easterners) would burn 9 or 10 gallons of premium each way. At todays gas prices the same Sunday drive in something equivalent in performance will cost $200

Pics along the way please. I know it's "been there done that" stuff for you but it's all new terrain for a lot of us. I'd like to see a pic of the load as well.

Thanks,

Craig
