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...

There is no public discourse on this issue. It is all one sided. You will not ever hear about all of the downsides of a National Un-Healthy system. Having been forced to use the British system for 5 years I can assure you that there is no way I want that here. I still don't understand why...

Not in my case, I make up even more than that!!! LOL!!! Barry really had little choice in his life. Coming from two sleezy parents, non-sleezy parents raise their own children, he was born with two copies of the "Sleeze Gene" and therefor has "Uncle Teddy" syndrome. Layoutshooter

It is the "Sleeze Factor". Even if there is no problem what so ever most polititions just cannot pass up the chance to be sleezy. It is just in thier genes. It is called the "Sleezy Gene" and is found in 98% of all polititions. It is found in only 63% of the general population. Many politions...

You are correct but you do have to weed through sooooo much garbage to find the one or two that are worth a diddily doodily!! Shoot, I bet there are even one or two Dumb-O-Crats that are decient, I just have never heard of them let alone met them. I have never been able to vote for one that is...
