    A Cat in the Truck

    I have a Himalayan cat just begging me to take her on the road. Who has a cat riding with them? Where do you put the litter box? How large is it? Dry food can be kept on the floor without makeing a mess, but, what do you do about water? Just water the cat when you are stopped? I really...

    Worst Roads

    I concur. Gives me indigestion when I drive it. I also agree about Louisville south on I-65. Stay out of that right lane. And let's not forget the right lane on I-75 in Detroit from exit 46 to the bridge exit, 47B. And the bridge. Oh yes. The bridge.....

    Canada U S CUSTOMS AT DETROIT

    I was told that the invoices were no longer necessary to hand in. But, to be on the safe side, he said that other inspectors might ask for them, so keep them handy.

    ~your prayers please~

    Tom just called to tell me about this accident. When he began to tell me what happened, I thought for sure we had lost a member of our family. I'm so thankful Bill is a survivor and my prayers are for his speedy recovery. Tom treats us all like family at A. Blair. To know that Tom's wife...

    truck stops

    With my TAB (Transportation Allicance Bank) debit card from Flying J, I do all my purchases. I can get a check number from TAB and then call ComData to register it. 15 minutes later, my money is in my TAB account. I love the TAB card. It does everything for me. Free drink. Shower. Points...

    truck stops

    I'm excited about that, too. Also, a new Flying J in Laredo. No more inflated fuel prices at Pilot. No more Pilot monopoly in Laredo. No more "pay to park". And, a new Flying J in Edinburg, TX. And a new Flying J Fueling location in Saginaw. Thank God for Flying J. They have the best...

    truck stops

    Pilot in Laredo charges to park, unless you get a truck wash, buy merchandise or fuel. $5.00 for every 12 hours. They also charge more for fuel than should be legal. In Laredo, I either park at the Wal-Mart on Loop 20 or will drive back to Encinal (exit 39 on I-35) to stay at the Love's...

    Most intersting Load so far?

    When I was with FedEx CC, I was deadheaded to New Jersey from Long Island to make a pick up from ITT Avionics. When I got there, I was loaded with 3 devices covered in black plastic. I was informed that I would be escorted with my load by two individuals; one in front and one behind. At no...

    Canada PAPS

    You're right about the warning. I didn't find out until a week before it went into effect at the Pre Processing Center in London, ON. Regarding identity, I have a birth certificate, a Passport and my FAST Card. I can't imagine what more they might need.

    Canada PAPS

    I always thought it would be more difficult to enter Canada as a US citizen carrying freight. Just an ego thing, I guess. But, returning to my country (USA) is so much more difficult. I don't know what the deal is. Why do I have to pay the US a $5.00 custom fee? Why do they make is so hard...

    Canada PAPS

    We just had a driver pick up in Belleville, ON without the ability to use PAPS. He exited at Kingston, and went inside where they processed him and he was out pretty fast. Since we pick up in that area often, I will probably never drive back to Windsor to cross considering the line was 5 hours...

    Canada New Rules at Windsor Crossing

    What I was looking for in this post was information on what all y'all had heard about entering the US with these new rules. I get into Canada a lot easier than I get into the US. So, if I don't have a placard allowing me into the car lane accross the bridge because the "Advance Border Crossing...

    Canada New Rules at Windsor Crossing

    I get so tired of the bridge lines and Customs lines. It was so simple before. Now, it is getting so I don't understand anything.

    Canada New Rules at Windsor Crossing

    I went to the Pre-Processing center in London Monday night, and was told the placards are not going to be available after Sunday the 14th. They say that because the US opened a FAST lane, they would not be offering the placard. Supposedly, to use FAST, you need to be a FAST driver, driving a...

    can a moderator tell me why my post was suddenly r

    RE: can a moderator tell me why my post was sudden Well, I guess I should offer a comment or two. I've been running so hard for Tom that I haven't had a chance to read all the posts. Since I'm getting a log reset right now in Laredo, I have a few minutes to respond. You know, Gambler, I...

    Canada Truck Stops - Canada

    Thanks for that one. After delivering in Belleville, or near there, this would be better than traveling east to Napanee and closer than Husky at 399.

    Canada Truck Stops - Canada

    You are too funny. Ok on the metrics. I just look at my speedometer and determine the speed. 2 demerits if you go 120 KPH and $100 fine. Is that $75 US? I prefer not to purchase fuel in Canada. But thanks for filling me in about the difference in price.

    HOT TOPIC... !!!

    Sorry about that. Let me try again. AlumiBunk, Dundalk. They had to remove my cab and sleeper to repair a broken frame. When they put it back together, they didn't reconnect the plumbing for the toilet and shower. If I hadn't seen the broken hoses, I would have been leaving "refuse" in the...
