$840 in 10 hours, less than 300 miles total. No shortage. It's more about you randomly being the closest than competition in locals

Yea I made $840 myself in 10 hours... Now, back to our regular programming (lying in bed at home)

Yes it's pretty handy crossing in less than 60 seconds USA spot freight though is what is down 19.5% according to a broker newsletter. No borders involved Just wanted a driver take on that figure. I'll never know because I don't do the cabotage thing

Newsletter says spot loads down 19.5% this week in USA I don't think people understood that importers were pulling a year's worth of inventory ahead, and it's done Anybody notice a slowdown? (More than there was I mean)

NYC no. Brooklyn, sure

I guess nothing happening? Renewed inurance. Seems I finally have no exclusions, all states all provinces - just in time for nothing to deliver anymore Edit: just in case anyone read it wrong, I'm ok with existing business, but I can't see any reason for a Canadian to do cross border, for some...

My "open road" days, often the month was made in the last week if not the last 2 days

In the early 2000s we had the same, around 2010 at the end of a long legal fight the company was closed and all drivers and employees let go. Those that wanted to, went to a subsidiary Nowadays my door is blank. They are strongly incentivized to deal fairly or it will be somebody else's name...

Hmm. Tofu tastes like :censoredsign:

Post Feb day off meal Tofu and sliced red peppers with generous roasted red pepper and garlic seasoning (tofu was in the fridge for some reason and not long expired) Not enough days in Feb.

I find people complaining entertainment for some reason, thanks for the tip (makes me feel better. Solo contractors have nobody to complain to) Bah private group. Let me guess - not enough freight If my company had a Facebook group, you could pick any of the last 19 years and that would be the...

Recertified for hazmat, canadian version. Interesting how much it changed from 2023 (repealed and rewritten) I understand why people don't, next time I have to certify as a segregated chemical tanker driver I'm going to quit and become a segregated chemical tanker driver No slack for a small...

Nothing changed for me but added several stops a week in the $100 range, has an outsized impact when I'm driving by anyway Feel for you guys on open road, I did enough of it

As true now as it was 5 years ago Be careful out there people

If you can find steady work close to home that's what I would do. Am doing Never more than 250 miles away (Just my 2c I am NOT a Load 1 driver)

That's the garage you are looking at. Current van behind bush I chickened out, winds 50kmh down to - 15 celsius tonight - borrowed a shop, done in 4 hours with 2 breaks for breakfast and lunch. All fixed

Transmission time. First tool, snow shovel

So. I remember why I never rented a van for long distance $1200 for 5 days

It's really simple to swap an entire unit Rebuilding isn't, but if you have a step by step manual that's simple too. I have collected a 16x20 garage full of tools without room for anything else over 35 years so I might be an exception I bought a sprinter in transmission limp mode and fixed it...
