44 out of 48 for me, Oregon, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire being the elusive ones :cry:

You did well to get Rhode Island. I think I’ve only been there once or twice to tip. As thats on the long way round when heading south its the one place that many many drivers based in the Maritimes never get as when we go south its to the 495 and then head towards NYC on 84 and 91 or 395 to the 95 which misses RI. As for Vermont, the only time I’ve got that was back on reefers when we’d regularly tip at the markets in Boston and then head empty up to Montreal.

I’ve been through RI countless times, we do an LTL run that starts in NC then up to MD and then on to Boston and then home, it’s a full on week, but can be done legally in just under 70hrs. I delivered there once too, loaded out of Missisauga, was supposed to be going to NH, so I was going to cross at Cornwall and run along the river into VT and then down to NH, but the load was too high for a reefer trailer, so I got the RI load instead, they needed me to get a full load out of the Boston customer, so anything that way was good enough, but they knew I needed to tick a few boxes still, so they looked for something to help me out, pretty good of them really.

Now I’m north of the border, the boxes will remain unticked, but I’m not bothered about that anymore, I’ve been doing it over here for five years now, so I’ve lost my enthusiasm a little, I was living the dream, now…it’s just a job :wink:

46 out of 48 for me, only Fa and La missed so far but you can poke that running Canada only run where it’s hot and Sticky (no not La or Fa :smiley: )
I will be sitting in a care home drooling before I do that…Thinking about it now I know why nmm does it :wink: :smiley: :smiley:

Hi Mark, great pic’s etc.etc.

Its not often I pass people or friends that I know these days, but your trip is that little more special when you do.
Taking pic’s of each other with Neil there was neat.

Regards Paul.
