Lets get stuck in

so we had our flights booked and a car hired that we could not change , and an interview that was not going to happen ,so lets get back on the net and find another company that will see us while we are in Canada and only three weeks to do it in before we flew out.
I sent another maybe fifteen e mails to company's that as far as i could see were looking for drivers and that were taking drivers from outside Canada and some that just looked good and that i fancied driving there kit, i also had to take into account the distance from Calgary as we did not want to be in a Gumball rally across the country.

One day whilst i was waiting to get on the loading bay at wood green Morrison's i was flicking through an old Truck and driver mag when i came across two adverts for Canadian jobs one was an immigration agent that pointed you in the right direction and the other was a agent that found you work , so i rang the first one and they said they would send me some information ,which they did, the other was a cheer full chap that took my details, phone number etc and said he would be in touch soon, no sooner had i backed on the bay to tip and my phone was ringing from Canada so lets see Wat this is all about i said to myself .
Hi Mark its Allen from NB i have found you a job when can you start we could do with you next week i have [ cant remember his name ] standing here in my office have a word with him.
well he asked a few questions but really i cant remember Wat was said it was all so quick, next thing Allen's back i will e mail you some forms you will need to fill in for the company your going to working for [Day and Ross] just fill them in and send back i will go up to there office and get you cleared to work for them by the end of the week OK talk to you soon by . and that was that he did, i did and they did in two weeks.

After i has sent the e mails off to a bunch of company's i did have some replys mostly just to say that they could not help me at this time ,i had included all the paperwork i had so they could see everything so i suspect its the old police check rearing its ugly head again, and of course some didn't even bother and that's really bad manners i think .
One company did however send some good news she was going to speak with her terminal manager to see if we could meet whilst i was over, and they were in Saskatoon about as far away from Calgary as i would have liked to go but hay its a good positive response we will do it .

Yes we would like to meet with you and your wife when its convenient for yourselves so Tuesday 14 April at 2pm was arranged ,boy that was close as its Wednesday 8th April now.

so Thursday came and we drove down to Gatwick and caught the flight to Calgary landing just after 2pm and after collecting our car a Dodge caliber drove out into downtown Calgary and our hotel .
