TW..It's NOT that complicated at all! If your carrier uses pars system and you are supplied with them. Just ONE on the customs invoice and fax it to the broker, Then call the broker to make sure all is well. IF it is wait the 2-3 hrs and cross, IF invoice is incorrect broker can tell you...

LDB..I'll pump the "friendly' dispatchers and see what I can find. I got a load Atlanta to Windsor seemeds to be an unwanted load the day before X-Mas. go figure....

Someone mentioned about uncovered loads...There is a load board for expedite only called "The Alliance" We are picking up alot of runs back to Canada from it.

whitewolf53.....good luck:)

Nope Mike....he was doing this just after I started almost 2 years ago! We still get the odd Elite customer cuz DX keeps separate pro numbers from our own regular sequence. I think he was pulling a fast one using a Detroit terminal thinking he sold a Canadian company not realizing DX is a U.S...

Well, We've made about 15 or so crossings since the new rule and quite honestly the crossings have gone rather painless and a bit swifter. Alot of our shippers now have onhand a fax machine and is readily available. Or we stop in the DX office and fax it from their as the office is just off the...

As the story goes Elite AND thier client list was bought out by Dynamex ,Cambridge 3 years ago. The owner has started using the name again and going after old customers! Dynamex is presentingly taking this guy to court. If DX wins this you could find yourself unemployed. Ask your O/O about this...

Yes, Saturday just past Detroit gave me my paperwork back except for the manifest. On Monday, Port Huron kept all paperwork.

I know you people like me have been at a broker and a driver will show up with nothing but a B.O.L. !! When told to make out an inbound manifest It's like A WHAT!....How can companies treat(even a FedexCC driver once but he was from the south a 1st timer) these poor guys like this is beyond me...

A-Team...JuJu and I have never been told of this visibility rule. Maybe cuz they can't see down in a van? JuJu and I have been asked to get out of vehicle so they can see the passenger though. We were also told that TWO names must be on the inbound manifest and both dribvers must be at the...

And that geo is when the famous EGR problems should stop!:)

Meaning they don't make a conventional van any more, Just the Sprinter They have no real competition with each other Ford has thier models amd GM thiers, and they are not even close to comparing the options are soooo different...My opinion of course. :)

Apparently the 05's have a redesigned EGR according to dealer. But he also said that pulling the plug while idling will do no harm and NOT void the warranty ( get that one in writing ) The EGR is only on the North American models because we still use dirty diesel fuel. The European models don't...

*LOL* I have to remind my co-driver to leave room for the freight as well!!

I don't know if it would help. BUT you never know? At least you'd get to vent! And thats a good thing.:)

RE: Age and the Old Prof? RE: Winter time in my Ca We've been using the Catylatic heater for 2 winters now and the detector along with it, one thing I noticed is and I don't know for sure is...I've noticed when I run it all night I awoke after about 5 hours I tried to Light a cigarette But was...

Yeah if you READ the poster it says REQUIRED but at the bottm it says without it, you MAY be delayed or refused entry. Conflicking statements? Yes but I expect nothing from Homeland Security! Heres one, 2 Saturdays ago I was Refused entry (first time in 2 years) Reason? No Importers IRS...

The Well conversion sounds safer to me as the dually has smaller wheels to lower the center of gravity, The single wheel has 16" wheels....putting a false floor would raise this and chance of tipping is increased.

Sorry guys but companies were informed about 3 months ago of the new PAPS requirements. Your carriers should have gotten a bulletin from Homeland security...DX was prepared with its customers as were most of the drivers. Edit: on hindsight maybe DHS only notified Canadian carriers? Which...

The EGR problem is only here in North America. Its part of the pollution control system here because we still use dirty diesel fuel. It can be safely disconnected if theres a problem.
