I've been everywhere...

A Renault 18 in North America... A very rare sight!

Sheridan, Wyoming. Took the wrong exit looking for the Wal-Mart.

Double rainbow, west of Denver CO, on I 70.

Awesome.

It came out of the sky...

Where I've been lateley.

From Toronto to Edmonton, and then from Edmonton to Vancouver.

Sliding my tridems to the back, for a more comfortable ride. The fifth wheel also got slid to the back. At the scale house in Cochrane, Ontario

West of Edmonton, on the Yellowhead Highway. First time at Jasper National Park.


North of Kamloops, on HWY 5. Nice view in a lay by.

On the Coquihalla south of Kamloops, H&R trouble. Steep grade must be to blame.

Trucking in the USA

I didn't take many pictures, but i did film a whole lot. So keep your eyes open for my new videos coming up soon in YouTube (www.youtube.com/rogertrucker).

Driving through Denver. Enjoying the view!


Mexican transportation in New Mexico, USA



Now look at this crazy trucker: stops in the middle of a major railway crossing, and the train comes... blasting inches from his trailer! Like the train's gonna stop!

It wouldn't have been the first time in Exel Meats, in Friona, Texas...

Many places... On the road to Moses Lake, Washington.

Enjoying the ride, as I finally installed the satellite radio.


Driving through the Frank Slide, along the Crow Nest Highway. Not in the mood to stop, but Javi did (www.doingmyway.blogspot.com).



The biggest truck in the world, in Sparwood, BC. But it's not working, so it's not REALLY a truck... It's more like a statue, a decoration!

US HWY 95, in Idaho, just across the Canadian border.

Near Moses Lake, in a truck stop.

FREIGHTLINER CASCADIA

Here are pictures of my new truck, a 2009 Freightliner Cascadia, Detroit Diesel Series 60, Automatic 13 speed, with all the extras.

Most recent picture, this evening at Portage La Prairie, MB



Pictures taken at the Wal-Mart in Dryden, ON.

Interior is nicely finished. I love it. It's better than the Peterbilt!

Driving down the road, exhausted. Looking for a truck stop...

Ain't life beautiful??

On down the road...

New job: H&R Transport

Hello, y'all!
Sorry for the delay on my posts, but I did loose my job, due to the recession, of course.
But all is well, I just started work at H&R Transport, out of Lethbridge, AB. I will be based out of Montreal.
I just finished mt training in Toronto, and tomorrow I drive off on my first trip. They have assigned me an almost new Freightliner Cascadia, like the one in the picture.

(Picture from www.hankstruckpictures.com)

I look forward to sharing more of it to you. I apologise to you for leaving my blog unattended, but the last two weeks have been total stress, looking for a job.
For those of you following me on Youtube (www.youtube.com/rogertrucker), thank you for your prayers and your best wishes.
Cheers!

New trailer skirts (And the last of winter).

My boss installed new trailer skirts on the trailer, they are supposed to save 6-8% on fuel. They also look better.

New look.

Calgary. Spring snow. And spring cold. I hope it's the last time.

Closer to the Rockie Mountains, on my way to Vancouver.

Climbing Rogers Pass, not much snow, very good weather across the Rockies.
