    Canada Ambassador Bridge De-construction?

    I realize it doesn't matter...I was refuting what Joe said about the Feds...a border crossing is a Fed responsibility not Mi or Ont...the traffic problems on both side are however and the slowing down of parts does effect the money flow...so it is in all parties interest to get on with this and...

    Problem is too...Manny owns all the land on both sides of the border...where both custom offices sit...even that land way down on Industrial Drive on the Can side... The border (the water way) is Federal territory and ruled...isn't that why the Coast Guard patrols? The Saint Lawrence...

    Thank You Turtle.... and some drivers get a pet AFTER they are recruited and don't inform the carrier so they can post it on your record... ONCE I've run into a customer that requires US citizenship... My wife was with me then..so she tied me to the fence, whilest she went in to unload...*L*...

    Now we disagree....The onus isn't on the customer here...you can't make the customer responsible for every little detail... If I were a carrier there'd be one sure fire method to fix the issue...ya know....it would be..Take that dog for a walk and don't come back.

    Mine claims it is an insurance company requirement.... a DOT medical... E-1 does not require a formal safety on a van, not when signed up or ongoing.... And SD does not require a safety or pollution test for plate renewal.

It is NOT a customers requirement to list NO PETS...they just order a truck....you can't switch blame to suit your needs..we...

    Personally I don't feel for any solo driver that has to deal with this... because that driver put themselves into the situation...They chose to bring the pet. The pet had no say in the matter. The drivers have nothing to complain about..only they are to blame.
