Apparantly there is a Scania dealer in the Montreal area…
Are you back in Blighty now Ali…■■? Did you not like it here, or are you coming back…■■?

I got highly messed around by the incompetent. I wasn’t the only one there to suffer. I’ll be stewing on what I’ve learned for a while, and start again with another company. I’ll be back!
Alli,
Do you fancy going on another harvest run only starting in Arizona this time 
Check out www.demarayharvesting.com. You could go back there almost right away as harvest starts in April there and I see from their website they hire females with no big deal.This time you would get to see alot more than just a couple of the northern states 
Thanks for the link. I have emailed them, and hope to get a reply. May be getting a bit late for this year, but next year wouldn’t be a problem.
Another one for you Alli,

Gavin Burrows is going back for this years harvest with Altendorfs, I take it you’ve no interest in going back over to work with them?
Hello everyone, I’ve had my Mum over visiting so I haven’t been on for a while, however, whilst the family and I were driving home from San Diego, I saw what I thought was a mirage, but No, it was what I thought it was.
A Scania T Cab, couldn’t see where it was from and didn’t pay any attention to what it was pulling, I was just shocked to see the truck in the first place. I would presume it was Mexican, but you never know. It was not a Topliner, just a standard height R cab. It was on Interstate 8 Eastbound on Thursday 17th Feb. Did anyone else see it…■■?
Keep trucking
Stu
FWIW, GM operates a huge “hot weather testing” facility in southern Arizona. So do several other auto and parts makes. If the truck was plated in Europe, that’s probably what it was here for. Oddball European or even Asian vehicles of all sizes are not an uncommon site within 100 miles of all these testing sites.
Alexx from the glimpse I got, it was a working truck, it may have been hauling a container on a short skellie. Like I say, couldn’t be sure.

OK, I got some more info, this truck is based in LA, near Long Beach, one of my drivers says he sees it all the time pulling out of the docks there. It always pulls containers and supposedly it is an American driver, not a Mexican. It is registered in California.
I didn’t think there would be any Scanias based this far west, but it seems there is at least one American driver who knows a good truck when he sees it…!!!
I guess now I’m quite convinced I’ll see it again sometime soon, maybe this time I’ll meet the driver, find out if he is Euro ex=pat or a smart American…!!!
Be safe
Stu
Stu, Scania’s US HQ is in Texas ( or was, the last time I looked )
