3361 miles, 9 days.
This was a very slow trip taking almost 3 days longer complete than a trip like this normally would. As mentioned in the previous post Pa has suffered some terrible flooding recently and as a result of this a lot of the railroads are closed and under repair. This in turn means an unusually high number of deliveries by road.
Penners had 8 or 9 trucks (?) making deliveries to the same place which meant us all looking for reloads from the same area. What made it worse was we were all delivering Friday afternoon/evening.
A couple of trucks were sent back to Toronto empty and a few of us had to wait till Monday to pick up in Hazleton, Pa and take that load to Brampton, On.
I arrived in Brampton Monday afternoon, reloaded Monday evening and was home empty Thursday morning after making my delivery in Winnipeg.
