-55 degrees in Chicago with wind chill. Was that a typo? If not, I've got nothing to complain about -48 in Ottawa was the coldest I ever experienced Edit: not a typo Chicago sets its train tracks on fire when it's this cold - CNN

I agree. Spending that money, I had a few bad ones (rushed techs). Surprisingly the string alignment, favored by many racing teams, is just as accurate (done correctly). Toe only, camber / caster I have a manual tool thats only valid on a properly leveled shop floor That's why I was hoping you...

Nice! Did you by chance get a look at the alignment machine / tools they used? I had issues even getting my E350 done in Ohio, at least at the local shops ($90 for those that could) I've been doing my own string alignments for the last several years, not on the sprinter yet tho. That'd be a...

Buying a 12 v fridge such as a Dometic makes this easy. I'm 5'11" and 260, that's a good 25 lbs lighter than the little ceasars deep dish / pilot pizza days. How hard is it to find a walmart lol. Dometic keeps the salads edible, or whole chickens. Toss the dressing out the window Dometic fits...

I think the pay scale has as much to do with it as the individual. Why pay per mile? Against a clock, just encourages cheating. You can say I get paid per mile, but it's just a way of measuring. My run, my time, my choice how to complete. 12 hours or 36, it's under my control, and my carrier...

Still one run this month. Lots of time to reflect. Like how I wanted 5 kids :JC-hysterical: Ended up with 4 girls and it's a madhouse (Pro tip: try 1 first)

I think it was Weather Route Free for Android - very useful for snowbelt

Good to know. Never been there - all I know the internet has told me...

Anything I have said about Sylectus is from the perspective of a Canadian doing cross-border freight only, for a brand new company, and has nothing to do with the experience an American driver may have with the platform. It should not be construed as an accurate representation of what any other...

Not exclusively I suppose. From the perspective that this thread is from; single drivers with new businesses sharing a membership; wouldn't you agree they'd do better with a good carrier than what they could get on Sylectus with a fresh mc# and few trucks? Perhaps I should have said "people...

They take the order, then broker it out. Then that company takes the order, then they broker it out. Then that company takes the order...

Report: darn near useless in a Sprinter (Olympian wave 3) but more heat than nothing I'd insulate, but on a 2005 I'm almost too fat already to walk around the skids and strap them down

-16, broke out the old propane catalytic Chestnuts roasting by an open fire (or just nuts)

And unless you were already here, why would you want to :D our population is one tenth the usa, so are the loads

Yes. What is forbidden is US driver doing Canada-Canada. We've reciprocated your cabotage rules

Wow what? That's the most accurate post I've read all day

There's something about 60 days to finalize something. Insurance? I would have read more carefully but, not sure I want authority yet Edit: was it a carrier post to head off competition and keep their fleet thru the January blahs? :bag:

Thats a great question.

I've done it once. And, been given a seal in my hand while they shrugged their shoulders Lately they seem to ask, and pay, for it not to travel thru states depending on the load. No idea why Oh yeah, what im doing...sitting on my thumbs

I've got to do some number crunching myself. I'm not making fun of the OP, looking at expanding horizons myself. But I've been doing this 12 years. Load boards are less useful than being seen by brokers for direct calls. Maybe this is the "shipping wars" effect? If insurance is too expensive...
