I'd like to give a shout out to my carrier for giving me steady work in these tumultuous times but I'm not even sure who I work for. They change their names too much, but the company that owns 80% of Canadian transport is the parent

I searched my memory banks and came up with nothing :) happens more often these days

Exactly I know the intention is to avoid everyone saying no (in which case somebody should reevaluate the rate) but life happens, we aren't hourly. I'd hate to sit for a week because I had a dentist appointment Right now in fact I'm heading out for $50. It wouldn't change someone's position to...

Just occured to me, we will probably see robot trucks before a useful phone app where you can bid loads Transport companies rather than being forced to give up control and money, will have more of both I do have my retirement area picked out. No municipal government, no bylaws, most...

Declining a load puts you at the bottom of the list? As a driver, I would encourage letting somebody take your turn for you even if you got next pick That is, if they don't offer unprofitable loads....

Yeah I personally thought the laws were going to be the holdup. These units can be installed in any truck, any brand, any fuel. As a corporation, if your competition has access to a unit that can do 168 hours a week legally (meaning each one truck can replace 2 driver's entire salary...

I've been wondering whether to put this here, cause there's a lot going on already. But it might save somebody the trouble of starting out and not considering the consequences (cause nobody does any research before jumping in as we all know)...

This guy expedites

Oh yeah, it's a little competitive over there right now, I hope we have all learned our lessons and have paid for equipment:)

$840 in 10 hours, less than 300 miles total. No shortage. It's more about you randomly being the closest than competition in locals

Yea I made $840 myself in 10 hours... Now, back to our regular programming (lying in bed at home)

Yes it's pretty handy crossing in less than 60 seconds USA spot freight though is what is down 19.5% according to a broker newsletter. No borders involved Just wanted a driver take on that figure. I'll never know because I don't do the cabotage thing

Newsletter says spot loads down 19.5% this week in USA I don't think people understood that importers were pulling a year's worth of inventory ahead, and it's done Anybody notice a slowdown? (More than there was I mean)

NYC no. Brooklyn, sure

I guess nothing happening? Renewed inurance. Seems I finally have no exclusions, all states all provinces - just in time for nothing to deliver anymore Edit: just in case anyone read it wrong, I'm ok with existing business, but I can't see any reason for a Canadian to do cross border, for some...

My "open road" days, often the month was made in the last week if not the last 2 days

In the early 2000s we had the same, around 2010 at the end of a long legal fight the company was closed and all drivers and employees let go. Those that wanted to, went to a subsidiary Nowadays my door is blank. They are strongly incentivized to deal fairly or it will be somebody else's name...

Hmm. Tofu tastes like :censoredsign:

Post Feb day off meal Tofu and sliced red peppers with generous roasted red pepper and garlic seasoning (tofu was in the fridge for some reason and not long expired) Not enough days in Feb.

I find people complaining entertainment for some reason, thanks for the tip (makes me feel better. Solo contractors have nobody to complain to) Bah private group. Let me guess - not enough freight If my company had a Facebook group, you could pick any of the last 19 years and that would be the...
