Set down a while - this is a real comedy of errors. Yesterday I get a letter from DOT saying they tried on three separate occasions to contact me to schedule a new carrier safety audit and since all three failed they consider it refusal to submit and give 10 days from the date of notice (April...

As part of the deal with the company I'm subcontracting to - IFTA filing is up to me even though they pay the fuel. So running two trucks strictly in WA and BC, (mostly BC) all fuel purchased in WA state at a CFN station, all miles recorded in each jurisdiction for both trucks. Do I need...

Saw a Stoops Columbia from FECC in the border line today, was it anyone on here?

Went by the dealer today to complete the purchase of an 03 T300 and inadvertently gave them $500 too much of a deposit. No biggie, I'll just make it easy on them (don't have to process a refund) and spend a few bucks more and get one of the many seats on sale in their parts department. So I...

Got a pretty good quote off State Farm for my two (1 ST, 1 cutaway) but apparently (agent is checking) they don't offer cargo. Right now I'm looking in [ Part 387: Minimum levels of financial responsibility for motor carriers ] and it makes no mention of cargo requirements, only liability - am...

Is it usual for a quote to vary wildly one company to the next? Had a quote through a broker for two trucks (1 straight, one cutaway van) for $7900 (which then went to $8250) but decided to check around when they jacked the cargo portion up and down. Today I got one from State Farm (who I have...

Can anyone recommend some IFTA software for 1 to 3 vehicles that: *is easy to use *doesn't cost a fortune *preferably fills out the return for you

Anyone know the number that says logging begins at 10001lbs? Either I'm missing it or its a myth - and I'm pretty sure its not the latter.

Anyone know of a place that can do an Oil Analysis and not take weeks to get back the results? Ideally somewhere that can get it done in under a week after receipt. Thanks

Came (south) through customs today, 3 easy shipments - 2 regular ones and 300 or so snowboards and apparently set off the portal's neutron sensor. So they send me through the secondary portal then on to xray, then inside while they use the hand held, (twice) and after numerous phone calls, and...

Went across on my way south to cancel a bond and there was a FECC Stoops Century class at the NB booth, I was gonna go say hi but alas they had no issues and were sent on their way. :)

I know the air card thing has been discussed many times but what is best if you spend a lot of time north of the 49th? Since I spend a good 6 hours a day there and anything more than around 200 yards north of the border puts you on a Canadian network I'm not really sure what's the best option...

OK, So I am trying to figure out roughly what P plates would run, called WA IRP office and they gave me roughly (pretty close it seems) figures for the base jurisdiction (WA) but could tell me nothing of what BC will charge, said to call BC. So I call them and was told I have to fill out an...

Does anyone have one for truck washing and if so is a hot water version worth the extra cost?

Just wondering what are the better companies to look for general truck insurance, everything but cargo - company carries their own on Cargo. It would be on one 24-28' straight truck, tandems, likely class 8 and for one Chevy/GMC cutaway with 16' box. Are rates based on the class/size/weight...

This is the sight that greeted me this morning just over the border in Canada. Southbound approach to the border, perfectly straight road, 3 lanes wide and the driver neatly put truck and trailer over the curb, sidewalk and in a 4ft deep ditch...........to make matters worse it was directly...

With all the border talk the last few days it seems like a good time to point out some changes to the truck border crossing at Blaine, WA/Vancouver, BC. Reconstruction of the crossing is now virtually complete and for those who have not been there since there are a few important points...

Here's a funny one (except if you get to pay the ticket) that was just on the local news. Grays Harbor deputy writes $17,000 ticket Thursday, February 14, 2008 1:28 PM PST By The Associated Press Print Printable version E-mail E-mail this article 6 comment(s) Font Size: MONTESANO...
