Well I agree with Greg. Yea you can make money, I do! Yes take the wife And definitely get a heater!!! Money will depend on loads you get and your availability. The wife will help with availability and hours you can run so helps with getting some extra loads as your not as tired. If...

Well maybe it's economics. But TA took over the truckstop in Woodstock, Ontario last year. So they have expanded and I would assume into other markets as well. BTW Happy New Year and may it be a profitable one for one and all. Rob Fis

I work out of Mississauga doing emergency parts runs and have met lots of Adco guys, did a short stint with Dynamex Toronto. I know Shaun who runs for K-Dac and he loves it. He left IBCL to work there and started with a van. He did alright but took over a 5 ton from another driver at K-Dac...

I agree, even though I currently don't have one. I do have a laptop with mapping software and did utilize a small GPS unit with it last year and worked ok but prone to errors that were workable. For anyone in this business either a full standalone GPS or the laptop with one that connects is...

Badge name means little. Go with a dealer that knows the vehicles. My Dodge dealer knows nothing about sprinters. I got mine for the same price as a Ford e-350 diesel but the sprinter handles better when in town. High roof is better I got three 5ft 6in high skids in and hand bombed a 4th...
