Oh, my hubby pointed out- don't ruin this for us!- you *may* be able to buy gift cards the first day, redeem them the next. This should be done on seperate parking tickets to avoid suspicion...lol. We hate paying for parking as much as the rest of 'em, but we will leave and come back only when...

Well...if you stay more than 5 days, you save money losing your ticket ;)

The Wally world in Rancho Cucamonga is off limits- they even sent a letter to FDCC a couple years back. The mall is a definite NO. So where DO trucks park? I know the best buy by the target welcomes trucks, but I'm talking the 3-5 days you'll likely be there.

I was sore thurs, so there was no "good" time for me ;) I think 8 or 9 am on fri is about the best you can do. Too much to see in such a short time.

Who stood on the van to take that pic? lol ;)

Too d@mn early ;)

The delays are rarely about the driver, it's about the freight and/or nightmarishly common paperwork problems. I also thought the FAST card *might* help get you through with less hassle (I like to think it shows you cross enough to bother getting it), but I do not have the transponder in my...

There are teams in sprinters and cv's on here that can surely make a living doing just that. However, your unique situation is not something anyone can answer, but they can guide you to find your own answers. Use the search option to find threads on sprinter income, teams in sprinters, and info...

Thanks for the link, OVM. So do we all agree that you do NOT NEED A PASSPORT if you have a FAST card, enhanced d.l., etc?

Uh... We drive for FDCC (FedEx Custom Critical). Neither of us have a passport. We have crossed over at many points in three different provences. We have our DL, birth cert., and FAST card. That's it. Ask to speak to the head of recruiting.

Up until two(?) years ago, you absolutely needed a passport to get back to the us, even with a FAST card. I lost my passport 3 years ago. For the last 2 years or so we have been going in and out (and being held for hours at customs as usual) with just a license, birth cert, and FAST card- with...

Omg, I can't stop laughing

Seperate from your oil problem, we had the same cranking-no start. Had BOTH fuel filters replaced, worked for 20mins, died, primed again, died again...long story...take up tubes were too short/placed wrong. Also the thing needed alot of priming.

Too busy to talk, too much to do. That's why. Head (?) of NTSB is doing a striptease and putting on her Women in Trucking t-shirt as I type ;)

Just a note on the ipad, my friends have two, they can type text and add signatures to PDF files- really handy, and you can get things printed, but you may have to buy a new printer for it to work. There's some folks on here that have 'em, I'm sure they can give more info :)

Whoa nelly! It's not April yet!

You may also want to look into a radio with an 'audio in'. We got ours from Custom Audio in Ft Wayne, IN, and we can plug in our iPods/iPhones/etc and it has no moving parts- ie: nothing to break. Our particular model has USB port and sd card slots, too, so you can store music on those.

I used to think it made me "old" to confuse the kids buy handing 'em $11.25 for a $6.25 purchase, but too frequently, middle-aged folks hand me back my change or give confused looks. I must have gotten a "fancy" education. She's called Grams.

...and then there's this:

I don't know why that doesn't shock me. I don't know how they stay wheels down more than not!
