    Tacoma WA to Stayton OR. Shorty only 200 miles but it gets me out of WA.

    I think it depends on who is at fault. This time I did everything right, I was approved to cross but the broker dropped the ball. If the delay was because of something I did wrong, I wouldn't have gotten D pay or a free room. But with the D pay, even if I do nothing else this week, still had a...

    Sitting by the TA just west of Seattle. Hoping to get a load south to avoid the snow coming to the mountains. My BC load had some problems at the border. Customs broker didn't do their job. Got no customs release! Turned back to Shelby for a 22 hour detention. Got paid D time and a paid motel.

    Shelby MT. Time to turn off the data, be in Canada in 45 minutes. Way too expensive up there. I'll just check in from Denny's or McDonalds while in the great white north.

    Fuel Cards

    Gasoline powered Cargo Van, same price cash or credit at 99% of the stations that I see. Sorry, never considered the difference between cash or credit on the big truck islands. But it works for CV's.

    Holidays over for me. On the road this morning for my Kelowna BC delivery. Had three nights at home, not bad. Took my rate for this run, subtracted fuel, insurance and maintenance fund and still made enough to make this a great week, in only the first 2 days. Think I'll go to Seattle from...

    Well moving from Huntsville to Bowling Green didn't work, the same vans that I assumed got loaded in Huntsville are now sitting in BG. LOL. So, I moved a little closer to home and am now at the Pilot in Memphis Indiana. Hopefully a good position here between Louisville and Indianapolis. If not...

    Dodge Promaster

    I've starting to see them on the road being used by contractors. Hopefully I'll run into one soon at a fuel stop and find out how they like driving them and ask about fuel milage.

    Should have stayed. Good chance to get more miles with everybody else leaving! The ones that stayed are enjoying the milage boost.

    Snugger question?

    Is anyone using the Snugger heater? About half the price of an Espar. Any Problems? Still working? Does it do a good job of hearing a CV? Just spent 3 days in Alberta, electric heat not going to be good enough this winter! Thanks.

    Serious bad weather in the midwest

    Got lucky this morning. Left Milwaukee at 8 am for Edmonton AB. 45 minutes toward Madison I started getting the storm alerts. Called home and had family setup safe place in basement. Lucky the storms hit hard about 2-3 miles south of our home. We suffered no damage, no hail and never lost power...
