    Many of the smaller companies don't even cross the border, let alone hire Canadians. That's why I pushed the issue. As far as Panther having Canadians interstate, I have my doubts. You may have talked to a recruiter that was misinformed. Or, they may just want to break the law. But, I kind of...

    hey

    I dunno. Third base! BamBam, you've done a lot of due diligence here. This could be the red flag you really need to be concerned with. These folks did have personal issues that were part of whatever happened. I know this is not what you need at this point, but better now than 2 months down the...

    Again, I ask the question. Will they hire a Canadian? You really need to check that out first.

    They're talking about doing loads that are point to point in the U.S. I can't imagine Panther breaking the law like that. When they told him 48 states they probably meant that his loads out of Canada could go anywhere in the U.S. As for CTX, well, I've just heard rumors.

    How do you feel about back to back runs?

    900 miles in 24 hours? Piece of cake! There's plenty of sleep time in that. I don't think this gets into an employee thing. They make an offer and the driver has the option to say yes or no.

    It's been rumored the last few years that they were going to start a Canadian division, but the only ones they have came from the Con-Way deal. I haven't heard if they are taking more or not.

    Do they hire Canadians? You will find your choices limited on this side of the river. I would start with finding out which companies take Canadians and do your research from there. CTX and FEDEX hire Canadians. Panther has a few after the Con-Way takeover, but I don't know if they are taking...

    Ticket for in cab control

    The closer the axle is to the front, the more of a problem it will be. In dump trucks, the pusher is sometimes real close to the front. For the wheelbase of the average expedite truck, it shouldn't be a problem.

    How do you feel about back to back runs?

    84 Dews and a pack of trucker speed were clearly the cause of being ill at the end of the run and totally unnecessary. A van driver can easily get over 3 hours of sleep on a 700 mile run just by averaging 60mph. That's real easy to do in a van. If the driver was rested when he took the first 700...

    Congrats on the great win, Jay!!!

    Jay, you had to be a bit concerned on the Colts first possession. It looked like Manning was begging to be picked off. I guess they were in shock after the kickoff was run in. It was a great game.

    Ticket for in cab control

    It has nothing to do with the weight of the truck. If this were found during an inspection a ticket could be issued.

    Cancelled load from Panther

    Last Tuesday I was sent to a mold shop that had 2 skids weighing 10,000# each. I had to tell him that my E350 wouldn't handle quite that much.

    Flying J internet

    I went to CompUSA a while back looking for an antenna. I was told they didn't have one and they sold me a card that was supposed to improve reception. It didn't and I returned it. Some Js are worse than others out in the lot, but most seem to be fine inside.

    Great run indeed! That'll get your feet wet. Good luck.

    What do you think of this quote?

    Thanks for the kind words, Pappy. I enjoyed our chat at the World Famous Detroiter. I am guilty of not having the CB on enough. Just can't put up with the morons. I've been trying to have it on a bit more lately and trying to help get Expediter channel 29 going. No luck yet.

    Expediter channel 29. If we keep trying, maybe we can get it to take off.

    Truck Parking

    A good start would be storage facilities, places that store motorhomes and boats. If there are truckstops in your area try them.

    Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    This may be a dumb question, but I wonder what caused the warming and cooling cycles that happened before the evil humans started causing it? Dinosaurs were pretty big, so that had to be a lot of flatulance!
