    Do you run on the 401?

    I run the 401 but I am not Canadian by birth, nor based in Canada. I do have a Canadian lineage, am I aloud on the site?? :D That's right I have that French Canadian blood in me. Au revoir!!

    Talk about up and downs

    Having a Diesel powered unit can be fun sometimes, there are places I go in Canada that the closest Diesel available after 20:00 can be 100 miles away. I never push it, always fuel up before going into the unknown even if it is like 5.10 a gallon :eek:

    Question on "Great Rate"

    Everything is negotiable, even if you are on a fixed rate. All you have to do is ask, the worst that can happen is they say NO. Always make it worth YOUR while!!

    Sprinter vs cutaway van?

    Anything bigger than a standard van load (96" x 48" x 48") "should" be charged as C rate. And the contractor should be paid correctly :D I was quoting the rates he posted 1.10 to 1.25. In my book that is what a van load pays including FS on the low end. A cube van is a C unit and so is a...

    Sprinter vs cutaway van?

    Those rates are to cheap to operate a Cube van. You should be making C truck rate at min. to run them. Don't sell yourself short.

    Sprinter vs cutaway van?

    You are correct Greg, I did look at some used Frito Lay Sprinter cubes awhile back. They would make great expedite trucks. I personally am just not a fan of Mercedes. I am GM all the way, and I love my D-max. It's just my personal preference, not to say they don't make a solid vehicle...

    Sprinter vs cutaway van?

    Depends on what kind of freight you have access to. The cube is great if you have the sources to keep it loaded at straight truck rates!!

    Have fun, be careful when coming back if you are crossing Calais and running ME. 9 towards Bangor. Watch for the Moose and Deer they are heavy this time of year. Also I would advise if you go this way to wait for day light. You don't want to be stranded out there and the last time I was on 9...

    Driving record, how dare they ask

    I didn't think of that. The question it self through me off and after thinking about it last night I came to the conclusion that was the agents intention, to throw me off. He also asked when my DL expired but before I could grad it and look he told me to go to x-ray. After watching the...

    Gunsmith?

    Well if you were in my neck of the woods (Springfield VA.) I would have you go to Northern Virginia Gun Works. He specializes in Benelli's. I had him do some work to my S90, and it eats anything now!!

    Canada Process for crossing border "IN BOND"

    When I deal with the big "L" I ask what TEAM is assigned to the Client (who's paying duty) then ask for what office and the phone number for that team, I call them directly and let them know that this is a expedited shipment and the truck is less than 30 mins (which is sometimes a lie) away form...
