2005, Jan, 15 - Apr. 10
in the state of Oregon, U. S. of A.

During the early part of 2005 I was driving truck for a company called `Mexico Trading' which is a subsidiary of `Tropimex'. Both companies are situated in Richmond, B C. Canada.

I drove an International conventional pulling 53 Ft. reefers to towns in Texas. Some of the products I hauled; meat, soap, etc. were destined for Texas but most were bound for Mexico.

Returning to Canada I carried some American products that I picked up in towns in Texas but most loads were products of Mexico; watermelons, avocados, etc, that I picked up from customs agents in border towns such as Laredo, Texas.

These are some of the pictures I took, through the windshield, along the route.
