What is the procedure to reclaim GST spent by non-residents? I'm sure there is a procedure but don't know what it is; do you?

Fuel prices here in Ontario seem to be easing just a bit. GASOLINE had gone to over 1.30 PER LITRE!!!!! (just under 5.00 per gallon) Tonight they dipped back under a dollar. I paid 97.9 PER LITRE at the Husky truckstop on Shawson Drive in Mississauga. Now that's still expensive. The sign showed...

It looks like FedEx Custom Critical is the carrier of choice for the hurricane relief efforts. I just saw pictures taken late yesterday at the Superdome and there was a large line of FedEx CC trucks outside. Well done!

Looks like FedEx didn't copyright the White Glove name up here in Ontario. Saw this one today. Just for your information.

This is to remind my American friends that Friday July 1 is a holiday here in Canada. We celebrate CANADA DAY. Most businesses will be closed. Truckstops are always open but they are usually filled with a lot of bored looking drivers.

Can anyone tell me why a CONWAY NOW Trailer was shipped by railway piggyback to Los Angeles recently? A picture was posted on a train modellers list. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/modelintermodal/files/cnwy_now741-5362_050805westriverside.jpg It certainly surprised me to see that picture. I...

After reading the "Truckstop Gouging" thread; I started wondering how a truckstop makes any money today. Truckstops seem to be turning into glorified rest areas and "away from home" terminals. They traditionally made money on fuel sales and had things like restaurants, stores, tire repair as...

I saw an ad in the Toronto Sun that ERB Transports expedite division is looking for owner operators. This would be for reefer vans. FYI

I thought I'd post a few pictures I was sent by another truck photo collector. I didn't take the pictures; I don't know where they were taken, when they were taken or even who took them! I thought it might be fun to see if anyone can identify the truck or location. Who knows; it might even be...

This is an Intransit move. Your carrier must be a : CANADA CUSTOMS BONDED CARRIER. All the big carriers are Customs Bonded. The small carriers might not be. Don't think about posting a SINGLE TRIP BOND. It is very time consuming and expensive to do. I'll take questions from the floor (board)...

I see all sorts of postings in that thread but did anyone actually answer the question? How many delivery services are there at Chicago O'Hare (ORD)? I'm sure that both Dynamex and Eagle are located there. If Gypsy1 isn't getting the work as an OTR expediter, I would think the Chicago Airport...

in Ontario: www.worstroads.ca One of the list is very familiar to many expediters: HURON CHURCH ROAD in Windsor. (people grumbling about all those dam*ed trucks :+ :+ :+ :+ ) Another road that makes the list is Highway 401 for it's congestion. Royal Windsor Drive in Mississauga is a freakin'...
