Michael: I went to Toronto this morning with a trailer load of cabbage.

I left Toronto at 8:30 am and was at the corner of Highbury and Oxford in London by 11 am. That is really only about 1/2 hour off the bare road time for a tractor trailer. It was very good going until I got to Putnam. From Putnam to about 20 miles this side of London it was as bad as I've ever seen. My time from London to Watford 1 hour 45 min. Bare road that will take 50 min.

Couldn't get the Mack to throw heat this morning, put a sheet of heavy cardboard over grill, a bungie around the bulldogs backside and down to bottom of grill to hold it in place. Got the cab back to shirt sleeve enviorment. It was a good drive to Toronto between 3:30 and 6:15 this morning. Struck the first snow at Milton.

Back about two weeks ago I was in Detroit waiting to get unloaded, listening to Chatham radio. They said 401 from Woodstock to Cambridge was snow covered and very slipery. The next morning I went to Toronto, man the wheel tracks in medium and ditches. (in snow) I think more people must have been driving in the medium and ditches than on roadbed. Was almost same this morning between Putnam and London. I guess west of London was just as bad, once I got to Oxford and Highbury I went home 22 highway. That stretch of 402 from London to Strathroy, SUV's and mini vans fight over the ditch space there. They drive 110 km when highway tractors will spin their wheels at 70-80 km in high gear, now that takes pure ice.
