Third trip: Ten days on the road...

...and more than 7000 kilometers made. As I said, I am to show you why I think my new "office" is of the best offices one can work in.
By the way, my company gave us (my teacher and I) a brand new truck after finishing the second trip. You'll notice some blue protective plastic is still stuck on a staneless steel peace on the right hand side.



The exterior view of my office. I love this twelve-wheeler!


The front view

The entry of my office. High above the ground...


480 horsepower waiting to be used.


My "desk" with its computers tucked in the dash.


No double-clutchin' here!


Enjoying my day of work.


Why do I love my daily office view so much? Because it's different every second! Here's a sample of what a trucker can enjoy observing when he takes the different scenery values of Europe into mind:

In France








In Spain



See what I mean? Some truckers may only see a highway in front of them...


How we eat...it's all in the art!



In Madrid city: The day before we unloaded.


My teacher and me: A late night supper in Dunkerque -in the northen part of France-.

Congratulations, Andreu!! I'm so happy for you and your dream come true! I remember the hours you spent with that trucker's manual. As you would say in Catalan, I "caigut de cul" when I saw the beautiful breathtaking sceneries! Now you don't have to pay Ryanair to go see places, now you're payed to do it! I miss you, dear brother. I hope to see you soon in Christmas!

Anders Viking, you are a "crack"! Enjoy the no-snow Europe, as I dig myself thru the snowy Canadian routes!
Cheers, and 10-4

Congratulations, Andreu on getting your licence. It was fun for Esther and I to read your blog. I would love to do a trucking job like that. Will you be driving alone after your time with the teacher? Will you continue to drive that truck or will you be given a different one.

We met Roger in Calgary when he was driving through Alberta last year.

Hello to all of your family.

Garry and Esther

I really enjoyed seeing these photos. Very interesting eating accomodations. :)
And the scenery ones are breathtaking!
I'm sure you are getting to know your teacher very well through the miles.

Happy trucking!:)
