Not at all.

Could not replace that time with the kids tho, last del was Feb 28th. Wife says I'm stubborn cause I'd rather stay home than work in a way I don't want to.

$380 CDN for full coverage + 2 mil liability, and only $220 for 250k cargo insurance...if the "new" carrier doesn't play nice...
Somewhat expensive at $7200.
Must have $2mil. Liability, huh?
Did. Not now. But they may change their tune next week again

The cargo I'm dropping, giving them exclusive for now...can pick it up again if I have to find my own loads

BTW $7200 CAD is $5300 USD if that helps...and its way past the minimum requirements so I could drop it down for independent work

My real cost will be $3452 USD for full coverage and 2 million liability. How cheap should it be?

(Just for giggles I did the 2 mil into USD, so 1.48 million. Its pretty sue happy over there, think I'll keep it at 2 mil)

Didn't know loonie lost its value that much. Wasn't it equal to US Dollar at some point not too long ago?

So at .74¢, if fuel is a loonie per liter, it's USD 2.80/gallon. At CAD 1.199, you're basically looking at USD 3.36. Smells almost like 2013 to me
