Rob A: Thanks for your eloquent support, and the fact that you spelled everything correctly. I guess EH pretty well summed it up. We poor subservient Canucks should be satisfied with the fact that good ole Uncle Sam has not yet come over the line and whupped our sorry butts, for the crime of...

What a load of crap!! It's called a Province, you ninny, not a Providence. And since when did Quebec complain of being "dominated" by the rest of Canada? They get the lion's share of federal aid, and have been a devisive force in Canada since confederation. They will never leave, they have it...

Just as I expected, none of you got the message I was trying to deliver. It is not a case of me having to lighten up, but rather the fact that you Americans are so damm sure of yourselves, that you can't see, or hear the truth. None of you responded with facts, just platitudes about take it...

Maybe there is a chance to get in on the ground floor in Africa. LOL. Jim Bunting...

EH ; I'm not going to apologise for my reply. I said it the way I meant it! If you have such a mis-trust of my country, and our officials, stay home. This says a lot more about American paranoia, than it does about Canadian laws, or hospitality. As for being neighbours, yes we are, but we have...

Mustang: First things first. There is no such place as St John, Nova Scotia. Of course, there are St John, New Brunswick, or St Johns, Newfoundland. As for scales, try this unique approach. Stop at the first scale you see that is open and ASK. You will be guaranteed to get the right answer, and...

So, ED, if I read you correctly, you think that because someone lives out on the end of a dirt road, they should be allowed to drive, regardless of their ability to do so? If that is your argument, then we should also allow 6 year olds to drive, as they too have a need to get to the store!! My...

I am confused on this one. On the one hand ,the replys to my original post all acknowledge that there is a real problem here, but each of you mention how "powerful" the seniors lobby is. If re-testing were mandatory for all drivers, of any age, every five years, then it could not be seen as any...

This question does not directly relate to the expedite business, per say, but, as we all have to share the roads and highways with other drivers, I will ask it, anyway. At what age should drivers be required to have an annual road test of their ability to drive safely? What about a system that...

Now before any body gets all excited, this comment is meant to be funny... How about opening a hot dog stand across the street from the Detroiter? But with better food? Think of the advantages. No traffic to contend with, no scales, no dispatchers, no discount freight, fresh air, and all the...

Thanks Rich, it was nice to see you too. I was only sorry you and the co-pilot had to go to Missouri, instead of staying around. I have had no luck with those magnetic boxes. They never seem to stay where I put them, hence the tape idea. Now that vans do not have vent windows, I had to do...

Bill, I'll give you the plate number, it's Ontario 349 OBD, a brown Ford E350. Now all you have to do is figure out where I have installed the "kill switch " and you will be all set!! Ha Ha.

This past Wednesday night, while passing the evening at the Detroiter, I watched a very frustrated bvan driver try to get into his vehicle. He had locked his keys in the truck, using the electric door lock, and spent over 3 hours trying, in vain, to get the door open. He used the old coat...

Dynamex Canada, Cambridge, Ontario. I live in Mississauga, just west of Toronto, so I am in the heart of expedite country, right on the busiest highway in this country, hwy 401. I operate a bvan. About half of my runs go from Ontario into the USA. Jim Bunting..

While I don't presume to speak for any one else, I have been having a good year so far. Of course, the co I am with does not do more than 10 percent auto parts, so we are not tied to the ups and downs of that industry. Jim Bunting..

Thanks for the mention, Bill. I can't see how Freightliner can say the FL 70 was not designed for over the road use. If the truck can be driven at highway speeds, then it is a highway truck. The distance driven per job should not have any bearing on the warranty. I see no difference in putting...

While I agree with Lawrence that there are a lot of things that we can do with this new setup, we would be smart to remember that some of our users are new to computers in general, and forums in particular. The fact that this forum now requires a sign-in makes some folks shy away, because they...

Well said Bill. The only thing I can add is this. The expedite business is not for the faint of heart. If there is one thing I would say to those looking to get in, it is this. If you have all ways been a employee for someone else, you will have to make a big mental switch if you are to survive...

I don't have any information about this particular situation, but perhaps this is a good time to warn all of you out there. Carbon monoxide will kill you. It is odorless, colorless, and deadly. It might not be from your vehicle, either. In close quarters, a van parked next to you could be the...

I work for a small company out of Grand Rapids MI. We go to Ct on a regular basis in a cargo van and we have trucks as well in the Michigan Ohio and Indiana area. Always looking for Backhauls. Any information reliable brokers ect will be appreciated. I am tired of running empty from Ct...
