    A Thought about Speed Limiters

    Likewise. And yes, I do have to follow the US rules, FX makes me or I don't get to haul their freight.

    A Thought about Speed Limiters

    Great idea! Can I please be exempt from US regulations with my Canadian tagged truck? It's a dumb law, within 12 months this won't be a big deal for any of us, it's the Ontario government, they can't do anything right and rarely have the money to fund any of these "pet" or "lobbyist" generated...

    A Thought about Speed Limiters

    They should work on getting freight for the ones they have first. Guess that sounds a little bitter doesn't it?

    need feedback on the new dodge sprinter vans

    I have an 08 2500 extra long and tall diesel Sprinter. I bought it not because I thought they were good, I needed the space for a customer I used to have in my pre FX days. Here is what I have learned so far about the new style Sprinters. Maintenance can be expensive. The Sprinter is a Mercedes...

    MATS Snapshots

    Definitely a smaller show but worth going. I missed seeing Terry but wow is that van nice! Big news for me was the announcement of the new Cummins 11.9 liter ISX. Looks like a very interesting engine that will serve the 'D' market very well. Talked to lots of folks about air conditioning, with...

    ON and QC speed limiter

    If the "113 event" has no time stamp on it, he can't prove you did it in Ontario either. No ticket. When you cross the border, your lic plate and crossing time are logged in a Gov't database (I think Homeland security runs it) and the MTO, and OPP have instant access to it (they use it all the...

    ON and QC speed limiter

    And all of that applies when you are IN Ontario Only! BTW, there have no "prescribed" devices set forth into law yet. The gizmo's are covered by clause B for disguising or defeating. I'm talking about a way to be compliant and then run however you want when you leave Ontario. I am NOT...

    ON and QC speed limiter

    You can buy units for under a $1000 that will allow you to change the setting and do most of what the dealers do, you will get to see what they see and change whatever they can change (except HP), which in my opinion is worth it. Would be nice to know what the problem is before they tell you a...

    Conference call with Jason Frederick

    I got in on the second call and I thought it was good. I mean we all know it's tough right now but you get the sense that they are trying to be aggressive and not just sitting back with a "we're FedEx we are the best, the business will come to us" attitude. Questions about backhauls were good, I...

    Wi Fi Booster

    Has anyone ever seen a booster for wi-fi signals that works kinda like the Wilson cell phone booster? I have an internal laptop card so I can't hook anything directly up to the computer.
