Oh, The Places You'll Go...
Adventures in trucking :)
So I started the day at home...Bright and early aroudn 4:30 am exactly lol. Then I began my almost 2 hour commute to the yard where my truck is kept. And that was just the beginning...
Over the course of the day, I have driven almost 1000 kms and am now about 250 kms from the border of the Northwest Territoies. AKA, the Canadian Arctic lol
I'm in High Level, Alberta which is pretty much the last piece of civilation until you start hitting the tundra. I think. Honestly, I have no idea because I've never been this far north before. But it's absolutely covered in smoke right now because of these forest fires that have been plaguing our country since the spring.
I was able to snap a few pictures from the road, and sorry to disappoint, but Northern Canada in the summer doesn't have snow on it lol I also took a screen capture of my position in Alberta. I underlines 'Edmonton' which is where the truck yard is, and I'm now about half way to the capital of the Northwest Territories, Yellowknife.
I really hope I get to do that drive someday, it's one of the only parts of Canada I have yet to see.
Adventures in trucking though....Something tells me, I'll get to see a lot of this country over the next few years of this job ;)
For the best experience view this post on Liketu
Looks like a nice drive with the highway empty like that. The lower population density of Canada is nice once you get used to it.
Yeah there isn't a lot of people when you get this far north.
It looks like a long drive. I am guessing this drive takes multiple days?
Nah, it's about 7-8 hours from Edmonton.
Wow! That's a cool drive, I guess it must be a great adventure having such a highway drive. I love trucks a lot and I will love to go for such an adventure like yours, thanks for sharing with us.
Yeah it's been an adventure for sure already and I'm only 4 days in to this lol
I think it's bound to happen lol. You'll visit most of these places if not all with your adventures on the road.
Beautiful views of the are :)
Thanks, appreciate you checking out the pics!
Keep on truckin'! 🚚🚚🚚
It's my new lifestyle lol
The long road ahead! And the perks of driving - going places :)
The 2 hour commute though, but then again, that's part of the adventure. Have fun!
Yeah, that's the thing with living out in the country and not in the city...A way to go to drive in lol
Trucking is a CRUCIAL job, thank you for doing it man! It helps out tens of thousands of people every day!
It’s a way to explore the country that’s for sure, I’m sure you’ll see a lot of beautiful stuff! Hopefully no moose or caribou when you’re driving though lol
I was always fascinated by it, so glad to be doing it now. It's a great career for those that love to drive
It looks like beautiful country. They have some cameras up in Yellowknife that you can see online to watch the aurora when it comes out. It's pretty cool. I get up at 4:45 each morning if it makes you feel any better. That sucks that you have to drive two hours just to get your truck.
I'm up by like 6:30 now every day without an alarm...Which is crazy because for 25 years, I woke up around 10-11am lol
I wish I could sleep in that late! These days making it to 7:30 AM is a win for me!
Being a truck driver offers such a unique opportunity to explore and experience the beauty of the country. You'll get to witness breathtaking landscapes, discover hidden gems, and truly appreciate the diversity of culture. It's going to be an incredible adventure.
