Nokian recently changed their winter tire line. They now have 2 tires available for cargo vans but not available in all the sizes we want or need. The WR series is sold as a winter tire and an all season. I've been using these for over 3 years on my cars and they actually work as both. I've...

I agree with your point of destroying evidence. Should not have happened. Yes an order like that should have come from an officer. Rob

Gee Layout I saw NCOs giving orders without an officer of any type being present or consulted. Now true most of these orders were related to an order given earlier by an officer but not all were directly related. NCOs run the outfits and in doing so must get things done without an officers...

This is a problem with most governments. They grow beyond just running the country. This is due to demands by people, citizens and we all know this means special interest groups and the like. Followed by business groups. Now the expansion of government goes hand in hand with the growth of...

Is the mirror cracked so you have a multiple view of one self? Rob

Many Americans would agree to the removal of tax credits for foreign investment or hiring of foreigners in busineses established elsewhere. After all home is where things are not moving. But Greg makes a decent point that business will find another route to doing business with or without...

Can this work? It can provided all parties understand your availability is limited and they are all willing to work with it. We have 3 guys doing that right now and for the most part it seems to work out (especially for one of them). Unfortunately it has caused some problems for dispatch when...

Running fast and hard in a van is just a waste of money. Fuel is an expense that we are able to partially control. I used to do a Thunderbay run and regularly made $140 more than another guy with the same van. He drove up the highway doing 75+ while I kept my speed 65 and under (cruising). I...

My GMs were 1 ton units for the load capacity. Current is a ¾ ton but with a decent load capacity. Altered insulation to lighter materials and carry less so lower loss of load capacity. Rob

While the tax rebates will increase with HST over the GST ones due to the increase, we are still going to pay more. For example accountants fees, lawyers and other such things that were not taxed before are now under the tax. So the accounting fees just lept another 8% and yes these are...

The ECOFEE being charged by a lot of stores (for oil, cleaners and other non-eco friendly products) has been removed as there were too many complaints. The list of things they charged this fee on was extensive. We already pay fees for recycling all kinds of things so this was considered a...

For many companies I think the FIFO works for the most part and they follow that guideline. However we all know of dispatchers who have on many occasions utilized their favorite driver/team to get a job done. I've seen many a time that the driver out on the road or waiting available (not at...

The lack of job creation (of which the infrastructure money was supposed to do) is not only a problem for helping out the people pull out of the recession but it would also help out the feds and states with increased revenue (taxes). The purchases would help businesses and of course the housing...

Every nation in attendance has financial woes of one sort or another. While the Canadian financial system came out fairly well and our debt level is not too bad we do know the costs of carrying a big debt (government debt). All the governments needed a push to start getting their debt under...

Toronto is in a similar bind. They amalgamated the the boroughs and other cities of the Metro area into the city of Toronto. The idea was of course to reduce duplication of services and by combining workforces they could reduce the numbers of middle management teams. Well of course that did not...

Can't have him out yet! They're only a quarter of the way through the screen play for a comedy show based on his tenure as Pres. Gotta give him more time in office so they have at least 10 years of shows. Rob

I got a pass card for the airport, gonna have it framed. The air canada guys couldn't beleive the cops let me in. Got held up in one of the motorcade road blocks on Friday night. Rob

You can make a reasonable living but not every week or day. This business is up and down for income worse than a rollercoaster. Last week if you want an hourly income I averaged near 18.50/hr. Going back a couple of weeks One week averaged out at over 20.50/hr. Now the week prior to that good...

That's something the Liberal party did up here when they were in charge. They relaxed the immigration system and allowed the refugee numbers to swell and accepted almost all of them and of course those people voted Liberal. Nice ploy by them socialists. Rob

The infield cargo access has been split. For air canada enter via Brittania Rd and for cargo building 2 & 3 (includes Canada Customs Offices) you have to enter via Courtney Park. Supposedly no infield cargo access from Convair Drive (goes from Renforth to Brittania south side of runways). This...
