I was on the 401 very regularly for 7 years and saw quite a few bad ones. Windsor to Chatam is real bad in the winter.

Great news!!! He sure looks happy to be past all that.

Wow, did anyone see that coming?:+ :P Good luck Jayman! I hope we get a good game.

Good luck with the new job Pappy. Are you preparing your Grammy speech?

You can get a Ford or Chevy cutaway that stays under the 10k GVW. The box isn't quite as big.

Because the companies require it.

I'll be stopping by if I'm in the neighborhood. Things have been a bit sluggish, to say the least, this month and if I'm running good I'll keep going.

Thompson Emergency, TST, RJR, Roaring Express are just a few of the Windsor based companies that do cross boarder freight. There are a few others, have you talked to any of them?

It's been a couple of years since I've had Freightliner freight, but at that time they used NLM.

There was a case reported in one of the trucker magazines of a couple that lived in their truck and were denied the meal write off because they had no home to be away from.

Companies will purge their fleet of under performing contractors when freight is slow. When things start to turn around they will begin to rebuild.

I think, and I could be wrong, that waiting for a load in a truckstop, or anywhere else, is no longer consider on-duty, not driving. Before the changes it was, but wasn't really enforced. I mean, can you imagine? Nothing would have gotten done. I've never, in 30 years, seen the DOT wandering...

Was Con-Way Expedited up for sale? They not only weren't up for sale but had undergone a name change and were changing their look. But, they had their price and Fenway Partners gave it to them. As I recall from a recruitment package I got from Tri-State, they have been in business since '79...

The passport requirement is in effect now for air travelers. For everyone else it will be Jan.'08. I've also read that "other secure documents" will be accepted. I guess that would be a FAST card?

Do we now give Jayman "visionary" status?

What kind of rules can we come up with to govern ourselves? We don't need to take the "Man" part too seriously Ladies, feel free to join in. I'll start off with the first one. 1. Thou shalt not whine like a 3 year old to dispatch every 10 minutes in the middle of January.

Wow, did the Bears show up or what? Jayman 1, Thawk zip.

As Terry pointed out, it depends on the states definition of a commercial vehicle. If they go by the federal definition, crossing wouldn't be required. Personally, I haven't crossed any scale in over 7 months. I think the vast majority of officers working in the scales don't want to be bothered...
