I am not sure to be honest, but id think so..but then again, he didn't do it to be a jerk or as a power play..it was his way of letting me know it wasn't safe to park there...The last time this happened with my previous carrier, the agent gave me his card and told me to go back a few miles to the border crossing bridge and go into the gurad shack and show the card and tell them that he said i should sleep in their employee parking lot until day light...so in both cases they were doing what they felt was in my best interest and keeping me safe...and they also probably dint feel like having to deal with the paper work and reports if they found me dead next to the fence and my van gone...
Lol that's cool. Sounds easier than dealing with CBP in Pt Huron.

Last time that I was in McAllen, I watched 2 illegals walk across the parking lot and climb onto a t/t in broad daylight (the truck was parked in the fuel lane, driver inside to pay) They concealed themselves under the roof fairing. But, before they went there, they checked the driver's door. Can you imagine what might have happend if they had gotten into the cab?
That border is nothing to take for granted. I dont mind being down there, but you have to be on guard at all times.
Btw, I did go inside and let the driver know he had some stowaways. He ran them off. It would have been best if I had called Border Patrol...I just didnt think of it.

Better to comply than have your van tore apart. In that part of the country, they are the powers that be!

Went to Walmart got some shopping done. Got a new heater sense the last one didn't work out of the box. Got this one working and heating the van. Will have to see how it works tonight so far its warm in the cab without the heater. What do you guys use to over your generator from rain and snow. Ken I noticed you had some sort of thing that covered your Honda last time I was at the yard. Thought about making some sort of cover out of a old tarp I got at home
Use your bulkhead...
Just a piece of that silver bubble wrap with a bungee cord....nothing elaborate and cheap....but effective
It's official..first sunburn of the season. 15 wheelbarrows full of twigs and leaves raked and burned. Next time my hubby cuts down trees in the back yard he gets to clean it up!!!!
Hey now....we cleaned a lot of that up last year when we cut down some of them branches....

I would have been part of that line up, but yesterday when you were working through the single digits I was working my way down from 22 in line. I bailed on you guys, and it almost worked with a load out of Lansing, but after they finished building the piece of equipment it was 1000 lbs over my max. Number 2 in Grand Rapids.

Ya know, I'm sitting here reading this reply, and just shaking my head, wondering how to reply to this to begin with, in the best way...I don't know, I'm trying to change my ways about things...Wondering if this is an open threat to me, or what...I mean, Something that happened over a year ago re-surfaces now, from a sentence in a post that really had nothing to do with this to begin with, right? And slapping a cross on my van does not make me perfect, or clear me of all wrongdoing, as I will fail in many ways just as much and easily as the next guy.But it is what I believe in, just as you,believing in a Turtle.
If you are so bitter about this, after a year ago, possibly longer, then, why, didn't you confront me about this when we were in the driver's lounge a months ago? We were there talking,and you sure did not seem too bitter towards me than....Do you not like face to face confrontations? Hey, I'd like to work this out, but something tells me you're not wanting to.But, if you would like to talk about it face to face, I welcome the opportunity,so this can be laid to rest... .so, be that it may, I will still say hello to you when I see you,and for the risk of being sued,convicted,or whatever, a hug will be out of the question..lol..

Get my # from Ken or dispatch, and I can give you the info..I am wondering, with you're wheelbase being longer than mine, if it will fit on the rack? Height is no problem there, but the length.
Don't forget to turn your clocks forw...aww forget it.
