Family Time & Trucking
As drivers, we have limited time at home and it’s important to make the most of it. In today’s COVID world a lot of events have been cancelled and many of the places and venues we usually enjoy are closed or open at limited capacity.
As Manitoba begins stage four of the Economic Reopening we find that more things are able to open safely. We found a few nifty things that you and your family can do when you come home.
