Well the Higbury Rd exit is open again so west bound has access to Highbury for the flying j. Wilton Grove is also reopened so accessing the business park south of the 401 is easier. Now the repaving on the 401 between Guelph and Milton is also almost finished (finally) so better traffic...

The last week I've noticed on almost all the highways that traffic in general has slowed down a bit. It is now possible to pass someone while only doing the speed limit (62mph) rather than the usual 110kph (close to 70mph). Except for the 427 on the west side of Toronto all the other major...

Thought I'd put this here for more to catch. Canada Day is July 1 but since that is a tuesday next week us expeditors will have a small prob delivering. Some companies are closed on the actual day (tues), some are closed on the monday and others are taking both days. My outfit has customers...

Today near noon 8 tractor trailers were involved along with a pickup truck in an accident on the 401 westbound near Mavis Rd exit in Mississauga. of course in this stretch the trucks are just getting upto speed so usually are following too close and this appears to be the case of them all...

Today is the 18th of Feb and the first Family Day. The Ont gov't when it was re-elected in Oct last year made this holiday (one of the few election promises kept). So we are supposed to be enjoying a day off. Quite afew businesses have closed for the day and others are just keeping things...

The Ontario Provincial Police are at it again against truckers. This time it's for the month (Feb) and they are after speeding, non signalling, following too close, unsafe loading, low trie pressures, you name the problem they are looking for you to get a ticket. Mostly though it is a move to...

The price of diesel has hit around the 3.78/us gal here and in quebec it is even higher around 4.10 or so (depends on station of course). So for the near future word is that it'll get a little more expensive before getting cheaper. We'll have to wait and see. Rob

Anyone driving a load into Ontario and you go past Toronto, the highway 401 at the west end of Oshawa will be closed from 1201 Sunday morning to 0800 Sunday morning. They are building a new interchange there for Stevenson road which will make deliveries to the GM plants a lot faster. Closure...

What has been one of your strangest or odd deliveries you've done? Just reading some post and getting a laugh today, but was curious about others strange calls. I had one last fall where the unit was supposed to fit through the front door (I was at the back door). Unfortunately some one made...

I utilize a pencil case type thing with three pockets (closable). Then of course take them inside when ever and file them on my desk. But what I'm really interested in is what do you do to retain readable copies of those thermal receipts you get? I used to scan and copy these into files on my...

Well the fuel crisis in Southern Ontario seems to be over. At least the availability problem has been solved and the oil companies are suppling fine at this time. The pricing has started to come down from the high of 99.9 cents per litre (much higher in northern part of province). However the...

Alrighty, for your info... In Manitoba please remember the new law that affects all of us. When on the road and you come upon an emergency vehicle at the side of the road, you must: 1: REDUCE SPEED!! yes you have to slowdown (try at least 20-30kph or 15-20mph) 2: GIVE ROOM this means change...

Well trust the Canadians to name a holiday weekend after a case of beer!!! Great way to start the summer. Too bad it's so cool again. Well I'm sitting after doing a small load Saturday so I'm making a new centre console. Beer helps make the job easier. Rob Fis
