Got a fax at the office tonight stating that the fee to cross the border INTO the US was going to increase June 1st. The fee is going from $5.00 to $10.75! As much as the CBP didn't like taking anything other then a $5.00 bill, what are they going to do now? Does anyone know what that money...

A door to door saleman stops at the home of an elderly woman. She invites him inside, and they sit on the couch. Just as the salesman begins his talk, the phone rings. The woman excuses herself and leave the room to get the phone. While the elderly woman is gone, the salesman notices a bowl of...

I thought I saw something posted here, about a survey that was done on rough roads. I can't seem to find the posting, but I do remember that Kentucky was listed near the top. After traveling I-75 the entire length of Kentucky, four times this week, I would say, that the survey was correct. For...

Just wanted to wish everyone a very safe and Merry Christmas!

I was at the Flying J in Stony Ridge last week, and I saw a cargo van, I believe it was a Landstar Express driver, with a small generator mounted in the center of the front bumper. What a great idea! With an electric start, that puppy could be run while your moving down the road if needed. Just...

Just a quick note... While I'm at home getting my van worked on, (body work from my deer kill late month), we through the family in the car and headed to try Cici's Pizza in Beavercreek, Ohio. If your in an area that has one of these, it's a great place to get a quick, cheap meal. It's buffet...

Well, I'm back out on the road, after a week off from getting my van fixed. First load took me from Columbus, OH to Leamington, ON. When I got to the consignee, I noticed there was a "smell" in the air. While the guy was undloading me, I asked what the smell was, and he answered, "fish flies". I...

Sat at the T/A in Lodi for a day and worked my way up the Cleveland board. Wednesady morning, at 0150hrs, I got the call! Pick up in Cleveland going to Louisville, 353 miles. Great, I'm moving. Headed out of the T/A about 0400hrs and started up I-71. Just when I got to the 218 exit ramp, Bambi...

I need some information on putting additional batteries in my cargo van. I'd like to install two extra batteries to run an inverter from, and I'd like to know how to keep them charged. I've read some of the posts from people who have done this very thing, but there isn't much detail on how this...

I'm getting ready to purchase a laptop for my van, and I'd like to know what everyone else is using and what kinds of problems you've had. I'm looking real hard at a Panasonic ToughBook.

I make it a point, when I'm on the road, to speak with as many expediters as possible. I've gotten some good information about places to sit (truck stops, WalMart, etc...), places to eat, places not to eat, etc... I try to listen to what everyone has to say, digest that information, and store it...

Which companies are currently putting on cargo vans? I have a 2001 Chevy 3500 extended, and I live in SW Ohio. I've been running with a company out of Cincinnati, for about 2 1/2 years now, but I'd like to find a carrier with a little more work. I have a CDL-B, and I'll have my HazMat...
