Can anyone tell me an approximate length of time it would take to move 360 pallets (standard size, stackable, not heavy) from one location to another location one mile away? I'm assuming that would be 9 truckloads of 40 pallets each (20 spots stacked)? Assume that the forklift driver on each end...

I wanted to reply to someone's post, but it was in the Panther section, so, sorry to start a new thread about the same thing. I have been told, whether 'they' will admit it or not, (with 'they' being 'anycarrier'), that 'they' will give precedence to drivers who are already out on the road, as...

As I'm sure you all know, Canada is hosting the G20 Summit later this month. The US has issued a 'travel advisory' ending on June 28th. TheSpec.com - BreakingNews - U.S. issues travel advisory during G20 summit In addition to the regular general chaos and anticipated congested and tighter...

I just wanted to mention that altho 'dedicated runs' might sound great, they are a two edged sword. Great to know that perhaps you're going to get a certain run(s) every week/month, and great to know that your carrier has enough confidence in you to offer you out to service their regular...

I was wondering if anyone here might have some background in shipping AND be willing to help me out? I need a starting point from which I can develop a set of 'Standard Operating Procedures' for a shipping department. Does anyone know where I might be able to put my hands on a sample document...

Maybe I've been reading too much of the stuff in EO's Soapbox, but something happened today which I am feeling really uncomfortable with. On Friday I shipped 2 very small shipments via courier from Canada to the USA. Done before. No problem. Next day delivery please. Value: $25. Contents: Books...

Anyone laid over in Montreal this weekend? Splash

I can't post in the thread where this is being discussed, so here I am! :p I don't want to ruffle any feathers by having something to say about something that affects a carrier we are not with.. but as a general comment.. Don't you think that has great potential for mis-use/abuse? For...

Just a heads up that this coming Monday (May 18) is a stat holiday in Canada. In other words, if you venture up here and think you may have to sit out the weekend, make it 3 days for the price of 2!

Unfortunately I needed to begin a new topic since I am not able to post in the FECC forum. Altho info in there might be relevant to FECC people, sometimes outsiders also appreciate the opportunity to make enquiries about how things work over there. I was reading the thread in there regarding a...

Five hundred more jobs bite the dust: The Canadian Press: Montreal Pratt & Whitney facility heavily hit by layoffs

Having a hard time believing workers would rather strike than take a 25% wage reduction at this point in the economy. (They are currently at $31/hr for wage/benefit pkg) Now instead, these 600 remaining workers (out of 2400 in 06) can do the picket lines for ZERO pay and NO eligibility for...

I read some news articles today about the upcoming border initiatives which are proceeding as scheduled for June 1st. It was disappointing for Canadians to be told they would be treated the same as Mexicans I guess. Article here: globeandmail.com: Obama's message: Glory days of open border are...

Not sure of the name, but one of our members appears to have become a truckstop weirdo! He was seen earlier today dropping his shorts in a truckstop restroom in front of the mirror, and after admiring himself, asked another patron to shoot a pic of his butt! Looks like he must have taken...

I'm confused.. Let's not talk about how it was 'before'.. but rather, 'now'.. I have seen a few times on here recently where people are saying to potential newbies that it's a bad time, the worst time, and money is too slim. Agreed. But... If you are a 'driver', and you're on a 40/60...

I'm not able to post in the Fedex Forum, and this isn't necessarily specifically geared toward Fedex anyway, so started a new post. Just wanted to say that first, that's great that Fedex is opening this up more, as an option for its contractors! And even better that they've supplied a list so...

Just today.. I guess it was after I rebooted.. all the headings on all of the threads.. in every single post.. are HUGE now, and running into each other.. yet the text and everything else looks just the same.. Am I experiencing some kind of technical issue or is EO doing this for everyone...
