    Anyone in Blaine Today?

    I pick up on Annacis every day, where did you drop at? In fact you are just 12 miles south of me. If leave that posh truck stop and drive into town there is a REALLY good Mexican restaurant about two miles from you. PS - snow in the forecast tonight/tomorrow.

    How complicated is IFTA filing?

    As part of the deal with the company I'm subcontracting to - IFTA filing is up to me even though they pay the fuel. So running two trucks strictly in WA and BC, (mostly BC) all fuel purchased in WA state at a CFN station, all miles recorded in each jurisdiction for both trucks. Do I need...

    Who is Getting Truck Loans These Days?

    Just took out loans on two trucks last month, first I tried the SBA (govt' guaranteed) thinking that would be my only option but that was turned down from a local bank, tried a few others and could barely get the time of day from them so went to my credit union who I had previously been told...

    Anyone in Blaine Today?

    Last week? I think I recall seeing your truck parked there. We don't see too many of them. The one I saw yesterday was at the scale in BC and looked like they turned it back. I live in that "hole" btw. :) Next time your around send a note ahead of time, maybe I can save you the cab fare.

    http://www.gearmaster.com/1.html Some may have heard of this and I know some say its a waste of money but I went ahead and got one. I looked at it this way, I could pay someone to teach me and have nothing afterwards or I could buy this and have something left over in the end that I think wil...

    Driving a straight rig w/o a cdL?

    I don't know if this varies by state but here in WA state, you can of course drive under 26K with no CDL BUT if the truck has air brakes an endorsement (or rather removal of a Ab restriction) is required.................the only way to GET that endorsement is on a CDL so in order to be AB...

    A savvy mechanic with the right tools could make some nice pocket change sitting at major ports switching trucks back and fourth for say $25 a pop.

    Morals, religion, and accepting certain loads

    A BoL isn't going to specify there is KP in the shipment but lets say for a minute you discover it is. Seems like the thing to do is complete the run, collect the money and tip off the cops before making delivery so they can collect up the shipper and consignee for an all expenses paid trip to...

    but it had an ottowa file number on the bill

    Dunno, I see drivers sitting in customs trying to get issues resolved by contacting their carrier instead of calling or simply walking across the street to the broker.

    but it had an ottowa file number on the bill

    Don't know what any of that means TBH. But heading south all I do is fill in the top of inward manifest with driver, truck and destination write the word "emanifest" in the main body where you used to list your shipments and my trip number right under that, sign and hand it over to CBP. I...
