As Danny mentioned, having a FAST card helps in returning to the U.S. Also, the more you cross the better it gets. Along with being polite, brief, and business like with your responces. Virtually every run I have is cross border and I have had no problems with them for quite some time. Yesterday...

No Betty in the Flintstones vitimans? Say it ain't so!!!!!

LDB,you mention a modification of the Sprinter wheels. I hav'nt yet heard this could be done. I have heard of people building the floor up a few inches. Could you elaborate?

I can answer some but not all here. I don't know on the multiple page invoice. The copy of the invoice with the sticker is so you will have a stamped copy to turn into your office, just as you would a stamped copy of your A8A. The officer at the booth will keep the orignal. Lately they've been...

He mentions having 1 year to do what he needs to do, which is not the case with a FAST card. If he's talking about a pardon or waiver it may take him more time.

The salesman told you not to open the software. You opened the software and now you're mad. Am I missing something here?

I have yet to figure out how being rude and sarcastic to us will somehow help them with homeland security. But, even before 9/11 the U.S. side had a reputation for being more difficult...

The first part of your answer is correct. It is at the discretion of the officer to allow you in without a seal. I have never been turned back and I don't know anyone who has, but I have heard that it can happen...

How about this Churchill quote:"If you're 20 years old and you're not a liberal, you have no heart. If you're 40 years old ond not a conservative, you have no brain."

They do allow cargo vans to go intransit. They just write "open" where they would put the seal number.

My last 2 times through Detroit I was also given back my invoices. One guy said all we have to hand them now is the manifest with the sticker on it. My guess is that a minor procedure change like this may just be a memo on a cork board in their office somewhere and not everyone is going to get...

I can identify. I was born in '55. We've gone from the "Leave it to Beaver" household to "Desperate Housewives". But, Terry Hatcher is pretty hot.

The United States has done more for freedom and human rights in the world than anyone else and yet we always seem to be the bad guys. Go figure.....

The term "1 ton" is a nickname. The actual payload can be more than that. My E-350 Alumibunk with a full tank, me, and all the junk I carry with me weighs 6900#. My GVW is 9400#. So, I can haul 2500#. So in the example you gave, that van is legal. The defence should be able to blow that...

RE: ** Expediter definitions... Forum responsibili Would it be a good idea to have 2 catagories of Fleet owner? With 8 trucks you would be a "Small Fleet" owner. Would 15 be a good number to become "Large Fleet" owner? Btw, I've seen some of your trucks. Very sharp.

I've woke up dead before! Jan. 1..., morning after Superbowl...

I carry a 30ft tow strap. It's enough to go around the skid and still have enough to hang out the back and hook to the forklift. The big 3 forklift types can be very hard on equipment.

Danny, I think we may work for the same company. Drop me an e-mail and I can help you wiyh any questions you may have about Thompson. [email protected] As to your issue here, I don't know. Dispatch probably didn't know if you had done your fax yet or not. A PAPS is for a particular border...

It is my understanding that if an I/C is paid by the mile the company is not obligated to show what a customer pays for a load. If the pay is percentage then the contractor can ask to see the billing for a load that he hauled.

RichM, the filer code is a number that identifies the broker you are using. If you were using FedEx, you would put 112 in the box. My company gave me a list with codes, fax & phone #s. We use three stickers. Manifest, invoice, and BOL. The one on the BOL gives us a record of the PAPS #. Panther...
