Well, it works. Goodbye Bell Canada. Goodbye $70month charges. Goodbye people trying to sell ADD insurance, increased-credit-limit credit cards, lawn care packages, new windows, book club memberships, donations to various causes, people doing surveys, time-sharing outfits, frozen meat orders...

Apparently 24 hours

Yes, that's what I understood; however, 'here' we don't have the same licensing system; the company, as part of its qualifications procedures, might insist on an OO holding a CDL; no ifs, ands, or buts. This will allow the hauling of hazmat. Here, our particular truck size does not require a...

No wonder people suggest we currently live in pergatory! I've always said life is backwards.. youth wasted on the young.. Great concept!

I ordered MJ, just installed it now.. but too late to call anyone to see if it works! Anyway, thought I'd report for the Canadian contingent.. MagicJack doesn't have many 'area codes' to choose from.. which is why someone above suggested going to 'grand central' to get one.. MagicJack...

How was he out 7 days if only 4 loads (2-3 under 200mi)? When you say he grossed $475, does he have any expenses or is that just straight income? He also gets benefits?

If you're a driver for someone, and you might not be able to foresee who you might always be driving for, or what you would be driving, it makes sense to get the most versatile license.. but in our case, he owns his truck already, and here in the land in which he is licensed, he requires only a...

Haha jeez, that's not long enough.. so.. hahahahaha

That would make sense if he were a driver, but he has his own truck.. seems silly to have to get a license here, that is not required for what he is and will be driving; I thought you needed to be licensed in accordance with the land you are licensed in, but the carriers have their own requirements.

As a followup to this, we are pleased to report that our somewhat-of-an-amount-of-faith-in-honesty-and-goodwill is still intact, as he did get paid extra for the hazmat. Not much, mind you, but better than a pin in the eye anyway! :D

If only we could get him on the phone! Things are different between here and there.. here we don't require commercial license until over 11000Kg (24200Lbs), so he doesn't have a commercial license since ours has a gvwr of 11000Kg, and not over. Here we don't have a special endorsement for...

Thanks... so a C-Unit has a gvwr of over 26001Lbs?

Thank you. So.. what would an OO of a 'C-Unit' be required to have, in the USA?

Forgive me for not being able to find this, I'm having trouble with the search mechanism on here due to the number of characters.. Can someone point me to where it lists the different classes of CDL's? Also, can someone tell me which USA CLD would be required for a C-Unit? Thanks

We have one in Hamilton also, our's is a bit crusty too... can you message me your guy's name.. I don't know that ours is necessarily experienced in the trucking industry.

So sorry to hear this :( Just "chatted" with him for the first (and now only) time last week, didn't realize he was so ill.

Are there any other Canadian Owner/Operators here? I have been searching this morning for information for Canadians pertaining to how meal expenses are handled at tax time. It appears from everything I have read, we are only allowed to claim a per diem amount (which, btw, is less than the USA...

This just makes me laugh! hahaha:D This is just nuts! Not you guys.. but if that is how it is? Jeeze, so first the dispatcher is in sh*t, becuz he can't get anyone to take the cheap load the CS rated, and then the OOs are in sh*t for refusing the cheap loads! No WONDER our dispatchers aren't...

Personally, I lovvvvvve Pepsi! I know what Moot was talking about; I had the same issue awhile back, and it was kinda making me wanna wash my hands more often than usual and go out and buy a whole pile of bobbleheads for myself.. sooooo I went into my control panel to see, what could the problem...

I hear ya brother! Btw... nice avatar :)
