RE: Expediter Rated Truck Service for Freightliner I sure would like to have a listing of good and bad service centers. It's scary sometimes out here not knowing who to trust. I have Word documents of truck stops and wifi locations and whatever else I can reference. A listing of good repair...

I like the Flying J in London. I also like the Flying J in Napanee. But, the Wifi in Napanee is slow. The TA at kilometer marker 230 has a brand new service center that is nice. Usually, if I've made a delivery around Oshawa or Pickering, I'll stop at the Husky at exit 399. Brock Road exit...

I can give some opinions. The J Care Center at the Flying J in Lake Station, IN. Great group. Very helpful. I'd let them do anything there. TA in Monroe, MI. Drained my oil, then told me they didn't have the filter for my old FL70. I didn't know the oil was gone. At my next fueling, when...

Glad to hear that about Sarnia and F.A.S.T. Got my card last Tuesday. Thought I would never get it processed. Thanks Dave, about the correct F.A.S.T. lane. When I was being processed in Windsor, they had instructions on a marker board explaining the need to use the correct lanes if you don't...

I hate to give out information that might make the line longer, but I feel like I've made a discovery (probably something the rest of you already know). I hate crossing into America in Windsor/Detroit. The Ambassador Bridge can be backed up for miles sometimes. And if I have to go to the...

I think you can pick up the application at a Customs House, such as in Windsor. Fill out the CDRP application, too. I applied in April for FAST and received my approval in August. Just trying to get the final processing done. FedEx never got me back to the border once I was approved. I'm...

My last truck had an AUX. What a piece of junk!!!! I have lost all respect for AlumiBunk and their choice of generators. My new truck from A. Blair is a 2005 M2 with a ProHeat. It's a dream. Heat. A/C. Battery charging and all the rest. Great controls in the sleeper. 1/5 gal of diesel...

Well, I only have 2 companies I can advise you on. I was with Blair, but left for personal reasons along with thinking "the grass is greener on the other side". I don't know what I was thinking!!!! I'm back with A. Blair now, but let me first tell you about the "error of my ways". I went to...

I purchased the software, also. I thought it would help me. I am a bit disappointed with it. I am a computer programmer and have been one for 17 years. I drive a truck now, but I can still write programs. I find the software not very intuitive. That is what makes software look and feel...

I avoid Pilot for fuel. Their only blessing is that many have Truckstop.net. Maybe the high cost is to pay for their acquisition of all the Williams truckstops. Regarding prices. Flying J advertises a cash price. If you use your visa at FJ, you pay 3 cents more per gallon. They don't...

I don't know if I would agree about buying 24 hours at a time. I'm on everyday. Sometimes for a few minutes, or, like today, all day. TA has a good deal where you can get 2 months for the price of 1. With Flying J, I have it automatically taken from my account every month for $19.95 a...

I'm so connected to the internet that I have connections through Truckstop.net, Flying J and TA. I rarely find a place I can't get online. I do all my banking online. I talk to my daughter and a girl friend in Texas all the time. My truck owner and I correspond on the internet. When I...

Actually, if you aren't the owner of the truck, you don't have to attend orientation. Orientation for FedEx is for the Owners. They can send drivers ( I attended as a driver), but FedEx trains the owners and expects the owners to train their drivers. But, the drivers do have to qualify with...

I prefer Flying J, also. I conquered the ComData problem there by getting their PDCA MasterCard Debit card. It gives me the cash price and it is so easy to transfer from my bank account onto the card. I do it by phone right now, but they have assured me that by the end of September I will be...

Awwwwww. I had to stop looking at them!! It made me sad that I didn't make it even though I signed up to attend. I found myself stuck in Houston with no way out of there. Oh please. Do it again. I really really wish I had been there. I'm so jealous!!!
