Park at the Alexander Hamilton travel plaza on The NJ turnpike, Seacaucus - no worries about getting kicked out. Hole in the fence by the maintenance Garage near the exit road, walk up the road - turn left to Ledgends Diner.

I SHOULD know this procedure, but I don't. It would have been very advantageous to cut across Southern Ontario to pick up a load near Detroit the other day, I was sitting in Niagara Falls, NY when I accepted the load. Does anyone know the correct procedure for driving empty through Canada ...

Turtle, Thanks for that info. Your reply is really appreciated. I have now set the start @ voltage to 12.2 V on the parameters of the generator control module. I had set it earlier today to 11.8 V. I have read many of your posts and believe you to be the " go to guy" on EO for mobile electrical...

Our new Cascadia came with an excellent Espar bunk heater and state of the art control module. D1000. The heater was cutting off a few times a night due to "low voltage" cut off, necessitating pushing the reset button a few times a night to get the bunk heater working again. This YouTube...

Home in Port Huron, MI. Going back in service tomorrow.

Always better to overkill on the securing, I'm inherently lazy , and have to remind myself all the time to do it right, as far as securement.

I like the fact that you timed it ! Lol.

I'm going to put " balancing jar on steering wheel - while operating" on my next driving resume. Salsa or Peanutbutter, doesn't matter..it takes skill to dip n drive !

As a side note , there was some talk about load ratings being mandatory on straps and securement devices in Canada, by the MOT. Not sure what the status of that is.

Yep, bleach wipes, been using them for 3 years to "wash " my plate and utensil. They come in handy for cleaning other surfaces as well.

As a few have pointed out in a private message, just sitting the PJ in the chock is not enough to satisfy DOT regs. I like the Two D Ring idea shown above, and will implement that. I would imagine a PJ being stored on its side may draw the attention of knowledgable DOT officer, and besides one...

I use a plastic " 3 compartment" plate and a plastic camping spork and after using, bleach wipes to clean them. A lot of camping items are useful in the truck. It is amazing how much money can be saved by "eating in ".

I like the idea of having my coffee made ahead of time, except that I like to take proper break every 200 miles and the walk for coffee is part of that.

I was having a problem with fork lift drivers, loading and unloading our straight truck and scratching, and gouging our shiny finished floor. I know it's still a truck, but I do try to keep our cargo box looking very clean and organized, I like to impress our customers when loading/ unloading...

Small electric skillet is my go to cooking appliance on the road, then my small slow cooker. I should start cooking in small batches and store like you suggest. Sometimes while running, I'm too lazy to cook, and spend high money on low food. Bulk cooking could alleviate some of that. Good tip.

I'm pretty sure our Cascadia ( the cab and chassis ) was produced in Monterrey, Mexico.

That could be the wife's new nickname, " little burst of sweetness"..

I need my owner, probably more than He needs me, I try to remember that, it's a good situation to be in, the definition of " mutually beneficial".

Our Cascadia is heavy on front end as well. Lift axle and proper freight placement make it work.

Unexpected Bonus from my truck owner as well. Thanks Wolverine ! No need to look elsewhere when you have a great owner, and a great truck. New co driver on board as well if all goes right.
