    *&^%^ Speed Limiters!!

    Phil, I hope you are right but I highly doubt you will see this as an election issue. Frank Klees is running to be the head of a party, if he wins that then he will seek to be premier when the next election rolls around. I can assure you that when that time comes, he will have forgotten all...

    fast card.....why??

    Turns out Janet nap-a-something the Homeland security big wig and her Canadian equivalent were there to sign some agreement or something, so they wanted to look busier maybe.

    fast card.....why??

    Spin the wheel and see if you win a prize!!! Who knows why they do what they do (I'm sure they do)? Today, after crossing the border commercially into the US problem free for the last 2 years (and personally problem free for the last 20), I was sent around for an x-ray and a 2.5 hour sit and...

    Busy? - You bet!

    I may be simplifying things here but, wouldn't it seem simple for the original poster to provide some proof of his claims to someone via a PM, that person can check it out and the debate about his past can end? The issue is he comes on to EO, boasts about how great he is doing which rubs some...

    Canada More Ontario insanity .

    The "must deliver near a highway" thing gets me. At least NY has those paved yards at the thruway exits to de-couple the trailers. I don't know of too many exits in Ontario engineered to handle 2 53 footers. Hopefully they will limit them to East of 35/115 and West of Milton (25).

    Detroit Layover

    Hmmmmmm. Either way, When empty to the US, FedEx has an automated system we call into with the time and port (works really well) and we use an ACE sheet with a trip number on it. So the original Windsor idea is still a no go for me. I also found this: http://www.ecustoms.com/em/faqs.cfm Read...

    Detroit Layover

    Well, I was told you needed to give them at least 30 minutes heads up. Usually I give an hours notice. I am beginning to think I'm wrong about this...........

    Detroit Layover

    Hey Rob, thought about that but the amount of time you need to give US CBP notice you are coming in empty would make me miss pickup times. It would also put me on the Windsor Express Ctr and hurt my load chances. I also don't want to give Mr M's bridge any more money than I have to!

    Detroit Layover

    Thanks for the tips everyone! The problem I run into is mother Fed has to see me within 25 miles of Dearborn. If I stay at the Pilot at Exit 18 for example, it puts me in the Toledo Exp Center, I need to be north of mile 25. I've never tried west of town, dunno if the Dexter stops would put me...

    Detroit Layover

    Hope everyone is having a good Memorial Day weekend. I seem to end up being moved to Detroit (Dearborn) a lot and have yet to find a place to layover that is any good. So far I have been stopping at the Detroiter but find it pretty crappy. Where do you folks stay if you need to be considered...

    Freightliner Speed Limitation

    This is getting to be very common as the tread on new drive tires keeps getting deeper. Some tires now come with a full inch (32 32nds) of tread and you can loose almost 4 mph by the time they wear out. When you get your ECM set, I used to put in a rev number that was used for a steer tire of...

    Mileage

    You keep this up and your going to start to not qualify for a free shower!! Awesome numbers. What do you have for tires on the truck?

    Speed Limiter Phone Calls

    I don't want to be accused of being nasty but, if your fuel mileage goes down because you limit speed either the truck has horrendously bad specs (which I doubt) or the mileage will go down because you drive it "mad". The setting only affects rpm in the top gear, it is the same as you taking...

    Pro Numbers

    I know that the 5's can be tracked on FedEx.com by anyone but the 2's need to have a customer log in. The wife will "follow along" when I do a 5 run but the 2's she can't do. Got to be more to it than that tho.....
