You have to take with a pinch of salt what the Telegraph prints ... I always wait to see if its backed up by the BBC.

Lately there have been many stories in the Telegraph (Dennis used one recently in another thread) that go nowhere, without even a mention in any other paper or tv news.

sometimes life are bit more complicated then it seams .
i found this 'news' in an Israeli security forum, and then it pupsup in an newspaper a few days later.
a google search yield the telegraph, which is, as you so cleverly stated, a questionable source at best.
i always dabble reference a BBC wire as well, as they been found to be questionable too, especially in the middle east, where they relay on other sources to provide 'breaking news' and such. normally the BBC will say where they gut an info. from, which in return will indicate reliability of the story. but not always.

Probably never because anyone could be behind the wheel of that vehicle. I think there would have to be more technology bordering on Big Brother for it to be effective.

Jeff got the 'Enhanced' driver's license. It's more expensive than the passport card, but for him it's a business expense tax deduction and he just has to show his driver's license at the border.

The passport card was more economical for me, plus my role of our OTR jaunts is simply to make the receiver's city sorry I was ever born. Apparently.

LLH,

I've read a few of your threads and recently gotten the impression that you and Mr. Jeff are very close to being ready to embark together OTR in an 18 wheeler with Swift. Well, either that or you've gotten a passport to dash over the border in time for Hockey season :cool: Keep us posted ;)

It's not hockey, LOL.

He's OTR training right now with a Swift trainer. He's two weeks into it, in Phoenix right now.

We live close enough to Canada (60 miles) and within a few miles of I-69 that Canadian runs are a distinct possibility. Just getting ready for the day that I go out with him again (maybe 6 months?).

His trainer's mom told my mom who told me (LOL, yeah, the trainer's mom and my mom have been friends since 1954, I cannot remember a time the trainer hasn't been a part of my life) that Jeff is the most cooperative, unique, sensible, levelheaded, best driving trainee he has ever had. I am proud of him.

I knew he could, he's driven straight trucks, dump trucks, he has a large construction trailer that hauls a Kubota farm tractor and a Bobcat, so on smaller scales he didn't go in green. That and he is familiar with the ways of the truckstop.

The trainer and Jeff have an understanding that the period of training is just that. No special consideration, no favors, business is business.

Even if I do know where the guy lives....
