    Mexican Trucks

    Wake up and smell the coffee. You would be better served talking to your fellow Canadian drivers about their raging dislike for Pakistani drivers. Anyway, not singling you out, but I don't think the Pakis have come over in hordes to ruin driving here or ON., and I don't think a handful of...

    Water Pump bump noise

    Just curious? If I ever get dumb enough to modify my truck with a bigger sleeper & shorter box, I would love to have running water. Can one get hot water? or is that a major expense. Check out this neat little sleeper floor plan from Double Eagle...

    not sure if this is right spot for question

    Bambam has it right. The best dollars ever spent: much better than Rand McNally software. However, I forgot the name of the company, but there is a site that will sell you a trucker's version that will mate right into Trips & Streets. It will automatically route according to truck routes, show...
