I am thinking of stopping my blog. I don't have any feedback, so you can imagine how I feel... I have an account on facebook (Roger Escuain, the only one) and one on Youtube (rogertrucker). You could follow my travels from any one (I recommend both).
But here are some original photos of my last trip, so you can comment on them.
Across the praries, in Manitoba. A lot of cars spun out in the ditch.
I helped this Russian driver clear the road after he hit this cow-moose on the Trans-Canada HWY, north of Sue-ste Marie, Ontario.
Cheers, and keep on trucking!!
Ugly truck trying to pose.
The nose dosn't look too bad. The fog lights are useless.
The seats are a hand-me-down from the older 9400 series. I like the side window.
The dashbord is very practical, and I love the switches on the steering wheel. But the build quality is beyond most truckers dignity. I hope they're better on owner-operator units.
Ugly white steel rims... They should be outlawed.
Smooth Rock Falls, Ontario. Hwy 11. All looks well.
Manitoban Trans-Canada. That's where the fun begins. The trailer would slip and drag the whole unit into the ditch. Careful slow drivers like this one avoided the ditch, but got stuck on the ice when the trailer got into the inclined shoulder.
Slow motion jack-knife. Even at slow speeds like 30km/h.
This Trans-X truck even had chains on!
Ice is not the only danger. Whiteout conditions will get you into trouble too. Nice to have soft snow to land on. This one was on Hwy 11 between Hearst and Longlac, Ontario. I was westbound here.
