Me and my bowels completely agree. When I check into a campground, 3 requirements must be met:::: close to the shower house, shaded, and bathroom. The morning duck walk must be kept to a minimum, with minimal stops along the way to regroup.
There was a story about OVM and the consequences of eating Chef Dennis's chili....lol
So much for being slow. First hazmat call...man carrier jumped all over that...

I try to do a pre-evening release to make the morning rush more tolerable. And its something to do to kill time....
Dropped in El Paso last Wednesday evening. Relocated to Larado Thursday night, ugh. Larado was dry till Monday evening. Ran the I-35 gauntlet during the night, nice! Now at the Pilot east of Louisville, KY, another dog pile of vans.

Do the hazmat loads pay more than standard loads, as they should, given the extra care and risk hauling that?? Back in the day, they used to pay pretty good. I was on a dedicated for Landstar from Ashland Chemical in Cleveland to South Carolina. Had to run those 200% legal, logging safety checks, and verified non speeding in between those logged safety checks.
Canada - Canada but I Americanized it for you - approx 400 mile run paid me over $2 a mile. I'd be home in a couple hours after too.
Right now for my business, that's good, and worth the extra hassle of verifying a shipper. In the long run, I'll have to evaluate doubling my insurance and yearly safeties and such
Edit: I just upped to 3 million liability, but I believe US regs want 5 million. No idea if that applies to vans. Cargo and extra border crossing insurance covered by my carrier's policies
Is it worth $12,000 a year insurance for $2 a mile? Depends how many miles

Prefillable circle check forms at pdffiller.com, nice. Always going to be me in my sprinter, so why not. Doubt I'll get away with prefilling the inspections
Imagine that. Me, regulated. Stay away from Ontario for a few weeks people

What class of hazmat are you hauling? I would be very careful what type of hazmat you are hauling.Canada - Canada but I Americanized it for you - approx 400 mile run paid me over $2 a mile. I'd be home in a couple hours after too.

Thanks for the warning. Lol
Unfortunately I can't say, every damn page is stamped "unauthorized disclosure prohibited"
I'm certified to take anything that isn't classified as "forbidden" but the lack of an airtight partition will factor in
