    Canada Crossing fee into US

    Got a fax at the office tonight stating that the fee to cross the border INTO the US was going to increase June 1st. The fee is going from $5.00 to $10.75! As much as the CBP didn't like taking anything other then a $5.00 bill, what are they going to do now? Does anyone know what that money...

    slooooooooow

    When I ran with Panther (Cargo Van), I never turned down anything they offered me for the first 3 months. After I turned down the first load, it "seemed" that I was "bypassed" on loads I had taken in the past. I noticed, once that happened, I developed a bad attitude, and starting turning down...

    Rough road...

    I thought I saw something posted here, about a survey that was done on rough roads. I can't seem to find the posting, but I do remember that Kentucky was listed near the top. After traveling I-75 the entire length of Kentucky, four times this week, I would say, that the survey was correct. For...

    Where are the speed traps

    Why...South Charleston is a great little town! I live just north of Springfield, and we have a couple of those "speed traps" here in Clark County. The Village of North Hampton, on the other end of the county, got so bad, that people on either end of town put very large signs in their front...

    Driving with yourSpouse

    I can live with limited vision. She creates enough of a change in the airflow, that I don't need a bug shield!

    Driving with yourSpouse

    I've tried and tried to get my wife to go with me, but she'd have nothing to do with it. I'm not sure if it has to do with being gonefor a week at a time, or the fact that I told her she would be straped to the hood.

    Expand the expo ?

    From what I understand, the Expediter Expo IS going to expand, to some degree. I believe it's moving to Ohio (the Robert Center, on I-71), for the sole purpose of getting bigger and better.

She told him that it rained and the wind blew! When things get...

    No Fuel at Many Truck Stops

    I was coming south out of Toledo this afternoon, and heard several drivers on the CB, that where told by their companies, to top off their tanks in Tenn, prior to going any farther south. They where told that there are several truck stops/fuel stops in the south that are out of fuel.

    Legally bound?

    The first thing you better do, prior to jumping off the bridge, is look at the contract, and see if it says anything about how much of the FSC goes to the person buying the fuel. My contract, with my carrier, does not have any information in it about who gets what. I agree, that the person...

    ROLLING INTERNET

    If your going to use your cell phone, Verizon has the best system for accessing the internet. All you need is the software and a cable to connect to your laptop. Any Verizon store can help you out there. Their transfer rate is about the best you'll find. SprintPCS works the same way, but at a...

    LOTS OF MILES AT PANTHER 2 (11th week report)

    The honeymoon will be over in a few weeks. Then I'll be interested in reading what you have to say! I was in the same boat. I ran fairly well up until about the 3 month mark. All I can say, is I hope you've been saving some of that "dough". My 2 cents

    Batt/Inverter

    Hey! Just a quick question: Let's say your using two marine, deep cycle batteries and a 1500watt inverter. Could you plug a trickle charger into the inverter, and then attach the trickle charger to the batteries? If so, wouldn't that give you extended power time? If you can't do it, why? Just...

    All-Types Expediting

    The "alert" is right here. If someone is doing their homework prior to signing on with a carrier, they should be searching the forums to see what post have been made about a carrier.
