Good advice Greg ALWAYS deal with the broker yourself, letting a carrier put there hands in it causes delays, problems etc.

Yep and sometimes it comes back to the U.S. after modification, or goes to another country like CHINA.

What about heading South its free on the G.W.?? ;) I would still charge for the abuse to truck that bridge is tore up. The lower deck is even worse, there is some giant holes in that right lane. Lower level: last resort:eek:

That is how Fort Erie is most of the time, not a peep from the agent. Seems like the smaller crossing's they seem to ask more questions like Stanstead, QC. and Woodstock, NB. and a few other small ones that do not have a lot of commercial traffic.

Yep when I see them sitting out front, I make a point to say something to them, if I am in one of my moods. Why would you park up there it's noisy and people are banging into your van because they are rude or do not care. Watched a TS sprinter move to 4 different spaces up against the front of...

Truckstop renting spaces out for a game and tailgating will ensue. Sure they will keep the noise down :rolleyes: Time to move on, tells you what they really think of there restaurant customers and expediters.

Very nice, glad to see you are having fun and living your life out of the van. 6 figures and no snow. I need to meet this person. LOL

So you went further south for a A rate, are you in a D unit?? Texas has been slow for a while and going further south would not be the smartest thing to do, but you may get lucky and get a load out. I would of went to north into OK. or AR. less trucks, better rates. I hope you get out of down...

Forget, omit......:rolleyes:

I had a long drown out post ready about the dangers of propane.. But deleted after reading yours. As they say the proof is in the pudding. Thanks for posting about your back breaker, you will love the espar Ken. Hope you weren't naked when you hoped out quickly. LOL!!!

Some area's are access by card only (card will open gates for restricted zones) no escorts/no exceptions, also most ports charge a fee for the service and it takes time to wait for the escort. I used a escort before I applied for my card, had a pc. of machinery for the restricted zone and I...

If you a do a lot of inbound and outbound port loads then your card will get a workout :cool: Also as Zorry posted some refineries make you have one for access. I know the Citgo refinery in Lake Charles, LA. also requires one for access to most area's. Mine paid for it self about a month after...

It cost more than just fuel to operate a truck. Thinking something only cost fuel (60.00) is why the van rates are so pitiful for some area's. That mind set has to stop. If T/T and ST8 trucks operated like that there would be tons out of business.

I had the same problem last season and took it in to Ray, they replaced the screen and I think the ignitor and it worked great until a couple days ago. Found a RV/Marine dealer in Saco, ME. that does service on them. Have a appointment next week to have them look at it. It did fire on the...

Same problem if the thermostat is anything less the full hot it will attempt to start about 3 times and just give up. If I crank it full blast it will fire and I start roasting then back it off, it will run until I shut it off. Going to have to use it tonight here at JFK, hope it starts. I...

So right on that one:(, I can't charge enough for a unit to go down there. Rates are always in the toilet for vans going in and out of there. I don't even bother with that area anymore. Even if a van makes 1.40 to the truck to go down there, he is either going to lose money sitting or take...

Yea I went full boar in late 08 and it was rough, but once I found the correct markets to work and made the needed connections and thought outside the box. It came together and I actually enjoy going to the places I go to, getting there can be a little tough/challenging. No more autoworker...

At my shop no it was a one time fee of 99.00 about 5 years ago and I have had this van in 14-15 times so far.

How about when U.S customs ask's you 6 times if you have any weapons on board. In Champlain, NY. I have been asked that many times between the booth and X-ray and inspection. That's right my last crossing last week empty back into the states was a Triple banger. Quick inspection at booth...

Yep 6 lugs on the light 2500's and 8 lugs on the heavy 2500's. And usually had the 4l80E in the heavy's and the 4l60E in the lights, and a few other things where different as well
