Christmas Greetings You All
It's been a busy week since orientation, the Harrington team started with a load from Salt Lake City and delivered it to the yard in Aurora, CO. The next load picked up in the same yard took us to Hurricane, UT via our home base. We then picked up a load into Fontana, CA arriving in what resembled a hurricane indeed. Wind blown rain and at night we made our way down El Cajon Pass into our yard. We picked up a hot load and delivered it to Fife, WA. A load out of Spanaway took us back to Sacramento. We then deadheaded to Fresno for a load and beat our way back North to Redding, CA where we swapped loads with another driver. We took his load on to Kent. And here we are on Christmas eve, enjoying a comfy hotel room and some deserved down time. Merry Christmas you all and to all a good night.

Wouldn't it be easier for the shippers to ship by rail than have you run back and forth? Just asking!

Speaking of that, don't know if I told you. Alaska and Canada is joint funding a project, Sen. Murkoski has a assured them that stimulus funds can be obtained to tie the Canadian Pacific Railroad at it northern terminus and extend it north to tie into the Alaska Railroad in Fairbanks. Currently designed strictly for freight hauling but in time expect a passenger service as well. Their estimates is that it will be faster and reduce the traffic on the highway.
