A NICE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM CHRIS A GERMAN TRUCKER

[Harry]

Hi Harry,
I hope that we can learn from together:-) I write you in English and you me
in german. I know that it´s very difficult to speak a language that must not
speak every day. I have this problem with French, Spain an Norwegian.
I can say you something over me. I´m 37 years old(exactly in 11 days) and I
drive over 15 years cross Europe. Special Norway- Portugal. I know this
distance it´s nothing for drivers at the USA.
Since April 2004 i´m not driving, i´m back on school to learn dispatcher.
And in 1,5 years? I´m ready with the school and then I must look. Normaly I
will move to Norway, if you hear at the USA somethings over Germany it´s not
good, or? In a few years we will have only rich and very poor people. At
Norway they are looking for people who will work and I will do that.
At the TV I have seen a very good report over a women from SGT Canada. She
moved 1982 and now she is driving a great Truck. Very lovely picture from her
Trip from Toronto to the Mexican Border and back to Toronto over Vancouver!
That´s Miles.
So I think that it´s enough at the moment.
Ha´de(You say that in Norway), Chris

CHRIS
WE HOPE TO HEAR MORE OFTEN FROM YOU, BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT TRUCKERS IN GERMANY :nod:

[Jimbo]

Hey Harry,
I wrote to Chris at his E-mail address, and sent him a picture of my truck with it. He wrote back, saying hello, and thanks for the pic. He was sick in bed, but still took the time to write. True trucker it seems.

[Harry]

DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ANYMORE

[Chris]

:crybaby:
Hello to my new Friends in the USA. I was lying now three weeks in Bed and now its going better! Sorry that you hear so long nothing from me.
In the moment I´m not driving, I go to school! After 18 years on the road my health is not good :\ Many hours and many miles :D
I will send you in the next week some pictures from my Trucks, but this are Europeen Trucks! Not so many space in the Cabine, Europeen Boss says "You must drive, not staying at the cabin and Dance!"
For all People in the USA who have Question to me can send ma E-Mails. Sometimes it can happened that I not give a answer direct but I will answer to all Questions! Sorry for my English it´s a long time ago that I speak it!
Is it correct that the Drivers at the USA say "Keep on Trucking"?
Best wishes and no accidents for you, Chris :ninja:

[Harry]

HI CHRIS I AM GLAD YOU ARE FEELING BETTER.
YES SEND US SOME PICTURES FROM YOUR TRUCK, SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS POSTING YOU PIC'S LET ME KNOW AND I HELP YOU.
ONE OF MY TRUCKS HAD A TOTAL CRASH LAST WEEK AND THE :unibrow: WRECKER WITH MY TRUCK IN TOW CRASHED ALSO AFTER A FEW MILES. :angry:
ONLY GLAD THAT MY DRIVERS ARE OK.
HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON :nod:

[Chris]

:tear:
Hi Harry, thats are not so good news from you. I have never heard that the wrecker with the makes a accident a few miles away from home :ninja: Hard! But I mean it´s only importent that nobody is injured or dead! The Trucks can repair in a station but not People :retard:
some Information with the Pics. I have not a Scanner but I send now a good Friend in Eastern Germany some of my Pics. So he can scan it, send me a Mail with the Pics and I can send the Pics to you! Difficult, I know! And my other Problem here in this School is: We have only Computer in the Classrooms, but normal it´s not allowed to use them for private things. I drive only all 2-3 weeks home so I need some days to answer you or the other people :thumbsup:
One Question for you, Harry. Here in Europe we have big Problems to find good Jobs for Drivers. Is it the same Problem in USA? Here we hear all time that USA and Canada searching for Drivers but you know it´s not so easy to immigrat to USA or Canada.
We write next week again, Ha´de Chris

[Harry]

YES CHRIS SEND A 100 000 DRIVERS OVER HERE AND THEY ALL WILL HAVE A JOB IN NO TIME. IMMIGRATION IS A LONG PROCESS BUT THEY WOULD NEED ONLY A GREEN CARD.
BEST OF LUCK FOR YOU WITH YOUR SCHOOL AND DON'T FORGET THE PICTURES
:nod:

[teacel]

Ha'de Thank you!

Now how do you say hello or welcome?

[Molly]

Hello Chris,
Nice hearing from you again, I hope you are doing fine and on your feet again. How is the schooling doing?
We have great bunch of people here in EW as you can see when you go thru the postings.
Take care and drop a few lines more often so we know how you are doing,
thousand and thousand + miles away, how many exactly?

MOLLY

[Chris]

Hello all!
How many miles it is from USA to Germany? I don´t know but I will take a look into a map and then I´ll post it here. Hard question :question: :D
I think you say hello if you meet a friend. Welcome I find you say to a business partner ore somebody like that. Sorry, but some words are very difficult for me. You know English is not my language :D
So have a nice weekend all in America.
Ha´de,
Chris

[Harry]

HI CHRIS
GOT YOUR E-MAIL. MY E- MAIL DIDN'T WORK SINCE CHRISTMAS. AS WE FIXED THAT THING ALL THE E- MAIL CAME AT ONCE. EVEN LETTERS FROM OTHER GERMAN TRUCKERS. I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT ANSWERING.
WIR FREUEN UNS IMMER UEBER DEINEN BESUCH HIER.

HARRY

[Chris]

Yes Harry, I´ve become your E-Mail on Friday. I´ve sent you a answer, have you became that? At the moment we have problems here to go to hotmail.com! I don´t know what´s the matter is there but we have no chance to log in! Some people here says that is the US Army! They push the button "out" from MSN :rolleyes: But Mr. Bush is leaving Germany so we want to have back our Accounts :D
One question. What is correct now? Became or got? "I became a steak!" "I hope not Sir!" That I´ve learned in school but I forgot it :crybaby: :thumbsdown:

[Harry]

YES I RECEIVED YOUR E-MAIL, THANKS A LOT. "BECAME A STEAK" :) IS WRONG.
I WAS SICK A LONG TIME BUT I HAVE TO GO ON THE ROAD AGAIN NEXT WEEK . RIGHT NOW MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP AND IS WAITING TO GET PICKED UP BY TUESDAY.
ARE YOU MISSING DRIVING? I DON'T LIKE TO DRIVE IN THE WINTER. YES, TO ANSWER YOUR LETTER, YOU CAN VISIT ME ANYTIME AND I KNOW YOU WILL LOVE IT HERE IN USA.

HARRY

[Chris]

Today the Winter is now back in North Germany. In the south, you know Bavaria, it´s normal to have snow but not here in the North. At the south on one place it will be 44 Degrees Celsius Minus last night! Many accidents and traffic jam. On one Highway this morning 100 Cars will crash! Nobody is dead, thats like wonder :ninja:
I have look for the distance between USA and Germany. The nearest points are 9000 Kilometer, I mean thats will be near 6000 Miles, correct? One day we have bridge :D I hope that we have now a bridge between Trucker from USA and Drivers from Germany :)
Yes, Harry sometimes I miss the streets. Other People, other Languages and more. But now, I look out and it´s all white and then I don´t miss the streets. I hear at the Radio what is happened outside and here is warm!
Ha´de,
Chris
