    Do they hire Canadians? You will find your choices limited on this side of the river. I would start with finding out which companies take Canadians and do your research from there. CTX and FEDEX hire Canadians. Panther has a few after the Con-Way takeover, but I don't know if they are taking...

    Ticket for in cab control

    The closer the axle is to the front, the more of a problem it will be. In dump trucks, the pusher is sometimes real close to the front. For the wheelbase of the average expedite truck, it shouldn't be a problem.

    How do you feel about back to back runs?

    84 Dews and a pack of trucker speed were clearly the cause of being ill at the end of the run and totally unnecessary. A van driver can easily get over 3 hours of sleep on a 700 mile run just by averaging 60mph. That's real easy to do in a van. If the driver was rested when he took the first 700...

    Cancelled load from Panther

    Last Tuesday I was sent to a mold shop that had 2 skids weighing 10,000# each. I had to tell him that my E350 wouldn't handle quite that much.

    Flying J internet

    I went to CompUSA a while back looking for an antenna. I was told they didn't have one and they sold me a card that was supposed to improve reception. It didn't and I returned it. Some Js are worse than others out in the lot, but most seem to be fine inside.

    What do you think of this quote?

    Thanks for the kind words, Pappy. I enjoyed our chat at the World Famous Detroiter. I am guilty of not having the CB on enough. Just can't put up with the morons. I've been trying to have it on a bit more lately and trying to help get Expediter channel 29 going. No luck yet.

    Truck Parking

    A good start would be storage facilities, places that store motorhomes and boats. If there are truckstops in your area try them.

    Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    This may be a dumb question, but I wonder what caused the warming and cooling cycles that happened before the evil humans started causing it? Dinosaurs were pretty big, so that had to be a lot of flatulance!

    401 crash

    I was on the 401 very regularly for 7 years and saw quite a few bad ones. Windsor to Chatam is real bad in the winter.

    Runnin in a Sprinter

    You can get a Ford or Chevy cutaway that stays under the 10k GVW. The box isn't quite as big.

    Truck Show

    I'll be stopping by if I'm in the neighborhood. Things have been a bit sluggish, to say the least, this month and if I'm running good I'll keep going.
