Down to New York

Im starting to find out where all the good stops are now, so life is becomming a lot easier. Im making alot of friends here now, real genuine people that only want to help as they have all been in my situation as a newby.
loaded out of canada for new york this week, the bronx of all places, a bit of a rush job, it dos'nt matter when the suppliers load you, you must still deliver on time, this really sucks as there is a lot of pressure on the driver to deliver.any how being a true proffesional i was still late, no not really i got ther early by being a bit creative with the log book,24 hours driving in 34 hours,1600 miles, thats like going from soton to aberdean and back.wont do that again in a hurry,on the plus side i got some brownie points.
Didnt get to see much of ny as i was watching where i going, i drove over geo washington bridge, 40 dollars toll, to get to the bronx, its as bad as the tv shows i was glad to get out with all my wheels attached.It was stange looking down the hudson river and seeing all the tall skyscrapers on manhatton island. As a point the new yorkers are a bit upset as they are going to build a mosque on the site of the twin towers, how insensitive is that.
I got my next job to run 595 mt up to toronto this is about 10 hrs driving, then load for calgary,i didnt realise new york was a state, and what a beautiflul one too.its mountainous with a lot ski resorts in the winter and it heavily forrested.Everyone seems to have camper vans or caravans, there are even people with campers the size of coaches towing 4x4 cars, amazing.The weather is really hot still, mostly in the 90s, and when it rains it becomes very humid.
nice too see my followers are increasing( hi josh an amy)im glad that im not forgotten yet
