In response to message #0 I just got back from a quickie run to Oakville, ONT. Although I don't do a lot of Canada runs, I'm not too enthused about going back again. Going into Canada is a snap. The Canadian Customs folks are, as a rule, friendly and courteous. Coming back to the American side...

It's not quite paid off, but my house was only 29K to begin with. So the payment isn't very much. The house/apt. together is less than what a lot of payments on just a home might be. By the way, I haven't had a run in 10 days. Last week it was on me because I had things I needed to do. This...

Different things strike different folks funny. I've always thought it was hillarious when as ya enter a 14 mile construction zone of one lane traffic, the vehicle I get behind is that of one towing a horse trailer. =)

TJ, I'm w/ you on being bored waiting. Like many others, I love to drive but I don't care so much for sitting. Actually, to be more blunt I go flippin bananas if I sit to long in that friggen truck!! =) The above was said w/ a smile & it's an awesome truck when I'm driving it, but a #@%$...

I would say the best saving idea is putting synthetic oil in my van for it's oil changes. Yes it's more money, but you don't need to change as often & I'd say I've improved gas milage by about 1.5mpg. I realize there's all kinds of variables to mpg. I think I've done a pretty good job of...

RE: Canada, there I came If you get your FAST card, there's no need for the CDRP card. The CDRP card is basically "half" what the FAST card is. Ie, ya can go into Canada w/ it. I'm guessing most people get their CDRP card first, because when I got my FAST card they told us we could throw away...

I realize some may challenge me on this. As a rule though, there isn't enough income from a van to support two people from different families. It may work out for a father/son, husband/wife etc, but overall I'd be hesitant to suggest a van income can support two people. Good luck to ya, Danny

I worked for Try Hours about 10 years ago. They were fine. The reason they were fine though, was in large part due to Chris & John. They have since went to PTL. You may want to consider PTL out of the Toledo, Ohio area. Good luck to ya, Danny

If you're near Detroit & aren't getting any action, ya may want to look into another company. We're hitting the busy season here & there's no reason why you should be sitting. Good luck to ya, Danny

Terry, WOW!!! That info just rocked. I'll be doing that the next time I hit a Flying J. Thanx a ton for the idea.

oops, If you're going to get your FAST card, then that will take a bit longer. I thought ya meant your CDRP card. I got that before I got my FAST card. That took only a few minutes. The FAST card took a couple of hours. Btw/ since getting my FAST card, I seem to be getting treated a...

After going through there a few times & stopping in, I finally ran into the lady who was so nice. Her name is Tonya. I did all of the above suggestions. I told her I didn't expect her to remember me but that I appreciated what she did for me & then went on to let her know what she did. I let...

Hey all, I think I've found at least part of the answer to improving gas milage a little bit. Awhile back I asked some others if they had any ideas & I gave em all a try. I slowed down some, & while that makes a little bit of a difference, it didn't make a whole lot. I'm also sure that the...
