Mine is still ok after 9 summers on the pavement in Ohio. But like everything else it was probably cheapened by 2016. If it is time, maybe try another brand I know I've been using Bilstein for 20 years but the last set lasted as long as any other shock, so I switched to $40 Sachs/TRW. Can buy...

Well I dropped off for awhile. Gasoline E250, and it broke at 487,000 Not like my 2002 or 2003 diesel. The '02 went 1 million miles without me so much as cracking a valve cover. Second one, I stopped driving at a million KMS (600,000 mi) cause natural gas was $1.06 a gal, then the sprinter I...

You know if you stop answering people they will go away ;) My last profile update was 2007

Buffalo Sorry about late answer summer is busy time. I'm still a free man personally

Watched somebody get arrested right at the booth today Not inspection, not xray, right at the booth just trying to cross into USA Getting interesting out here

If the Big Beautiful Bill passes, I know it's flying under the radar but be prepared to cross the border and meet a Canadian driver in Canada eventually This will be as big a hit as tariffs, perhaps bigger. 5% a year until 50% is reached in withholding tax, altering a tax treaty that's been in...

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
