I agree, I have the choice, it is just not a good choice. My choices are, be forced to do something that I feel is dangerous or lose my livelyhood. Anyway, I will adapt. I always do. It will be interesting to say the least. I really hope it causes no problems. Only time will tell. Nothing is for...

I have my lift axle controls outside of the cab. ON and QC should have a provision to allow those of us who drive in other places to fix it. After all, if I complie when I am checked what difference does it make to them? Unless they are meanies. Layoutshooter

I shall do that!!! Maybe FDCC should buy several copies of the software and have it available at terminals near the border at little or no cost to drivers. Then I could run my truck as I see fit in the real world. Layoutshooter

There is the cost involved as well, about $100 bucks a pop to change it each time. I have NOT been able to find any software to do it myself. In fact, I had one Detroit Diesel place tell me that I was not able to buy the software at all. It is only available for dealers. He quoted a price in the...

You got that right OVM. They are unable or unwilling to enforce the speed laws and then they assume that because I drive a truck that I am just too stupid to drive legal without that nanny to make me. Yeah, NightCreacher, I am well aware of that problem. It won't affect me speed wise unless I...

Well there, nothing can help. I don't like going there, we do, but I don't have fun. Layoutshooter

Yes, it would be difficult to cross dock some of the freight we carry. I sure hope that this new law causes a ton of traffic problems up there. They deserve it!! LOL!! Layoutshooter

You got it, OVM. We have no choice. No limiter, no White Glove. Not a good thing when you have no choices other than bad choices. By the way, Mrs. Layoutshooter and I had a wonderful time last night!! The pub we went to was crowded and noisy. Good good and half a zillion different beers in...

Yes, we are REQUIRED to speed limit our trucks to remain White Glove. At least the straight trucks are. Layoutshooter

Thanks Piper1, we shall see what happens. I hope there are no problems. I do still resent the idea that ON and QC think that I am too stupid to drive at 105kph without an on board nanny. It is kind of insulting. So is the notion that they are so sure I will commit the horrible crime of speeding...

Just about 2 weeks ago a TT started into my lane while I was still there. There was no lane to my left and traffice behind me. I was doing 62mph (my norm) at the time. I gave the truck all the pedal I had, I was doing 68mph when I got clear. I MIGHT not have made that move in time had I been...

I hope you are right but I don't see it. We shall see. Taxes are going to go way up. That will drive down employement and business in both countries. That will leave less money every year for health Then they will raise taxes, which will ...................... "And the beat goes on" Layoutshooter

When do I get my bailout? Man, why should I bail out that trucking company when my own is hurting, mainly due to the failures and poor planning of FEMA and the CDC? All while under the control of a House and Senate both of which had Dumb-O-Crat majorities at the time. This is really starting to...

Canada's system has not yet declined to the level that the British system is at. That is for a couple of reasons. First, it is not as old, all systems decline with age. Second, you system was sort of proped up by a very robust North American economy. Europe has very little economic growth...

There is NO such thing as free health care. Also, remember the old saying, You get what you pay for. Well, that is even more true under a National Un-Healthy system. Just ask Mrs. Layoushooter how she feels about, "Conveinence Birthing". After she calms down so she can speak she will tell you...

I don't even want to picture you Sprinter taking a dumpa dumpa dumpa in Canadian or "Merican!!!!!! LOL!! :D Layoutshooter

I agree with the idea Greg. The problem I see is the exsisting contracts. I don't have the answer. I have had the rules of life changed on me many times. I would hire on under one set of rules and then they change. It is NOT good. The DOD was really good for that. They changed retirement laws...

I am glad you enjoyed that one Turtle!! I be it was really hard on your fingers to poke in the "effectivelly run governemtn" bit!! That had to hurt!! :rolleyes: Layoutshooter

That is NOT funny!! I am offended by that last post Highway Star!! I am MORE than capable to draw my own foolish opinions without the help of your silly and racist Web browser!!! :eek: Layoutshooter

It is a real thought. I just don't know if there is enough freight at high enough pay to cover the cost of a TVAL truck. If there was it might be interesting for us. We live right on the border. We did not see many offers last year for Canadian work. I had my stats wrong on a previous post. We...
