Just like with oil, they can't consume all of their potatoes - Yanks end up with it.

Come to El Paso, I'll buy something stronger. [emoji19]

Protectionism of the French fry business [emoji16]

Picky Canadians about their stuff, eh? [emoji5]

Ha-ha [emoji16]

I hear even sprinter has to pay several hundred bucks each way.

Nice. I've never been to that one. Been to one from Germany to Denmark about 4 times though. Can imagine...

Stayed away from Ferry I hope. I almost went on it twice. [emoji5]

Met a guy once in El Paso. He owned several textile factories in Northern US. Said that due to free-trade and agreements, in order to compete with Asian manufacturers he was forced to relocate his business to Mexico. Can't blame him. Wonder what he is up to now, with current political shift.

I once had a load from El Paso to San Diego. You would think they save some money shipping it South of the border, but there I was taking Mexican load to California.

Wouldn't that be nice. Up to Maine border, please. [emoji4] I can wish, can't I? [emoji5]

I have "triangulated" myself into El Paso. [emoji5]

Not just that. Once I was sitting with another driver in KY. I wanted to go home, MA. He needed to go to NC. I was offered a run to TN or GA, he was told to go to PA. We asked if we could swap. Were told no, and they scrapped both runs. [emoji53]

Nature of the business lately, unfortunately. Locations, capacity, demand for that particular load, etc all play into possibilities to get something.

[emoji5] "whale" in my book is anything over 1200 miles. Anything under is a day work. But then again, I am too young to think of rest. [emoji5]

I always ask for 100% paid all miles. Can't do it? Find someone else [emoji5]

"IF" is the key word. Happens, but sometimes it turns into late pick up, traffic along they way, next day delivery. But, there is a reason sometimes to take it.

Major reason I switched to carriers that ask me for price, not feed me 4 shorties per week at "industry rates". Generally they do pay more, you just need 7-8 in a week to make it worth wile, or get a whale of a run at the weekend.

Temperature dropped from 70F at night to 60F now, that sun is up. Am I in Texas or Alaska? [emoji53]

You are right. Keep them wrapped around his neck. [emoji14]
