Oh I hear you there 100%. That's definitely good for men and women such as yourself. I've talked to a few Crst doubles drivers that do dedicated, and I guess some of them make pretty good money.
I'm probably gonna go the land star route I think, I just need to find out what trucks I can use for them, I guess you have to have the electronic logging in your truck now? I know nothing about it, or hooking it up. Paper logs before Crst. I'm familiar around c15s c16 twins and 3406(b)s. Good enough to save some bucks. I have been trying to figure out what age limit landstar has, and what year trucks can support the electronic logging and all that jazz. So much misinformation out there I haven't even scratched the service -
John Dewart Thanks this.

I have a stack of cash for an old one! Lol that's why I'm trying to figure out a little more about everything. I know this is gonna start some drama but here goes, I didn't go to any trucking company to start driving, I drove under my own authority for 2 years. Well 28 months. But whatever. I won't be able to get the right truck for a year or two anyway, I've been listening closely to o/os. Some of them pump them selves up and tell ya butt loads of garbage, but are flat ### broke, others not so much, just trying to distinguish the two is the hard part.
The Patriot Thanks this. -
Going in was easy (never more than just a few minutes as long as paper work was pre-cleared. Used PARS at that time) and driving around Canada was great and awesome scenery to boot. Getting back into the police states was a nightmare crapshoot.
I now refuse to go there because crossing back into the states was such a pita. Sometimes 30min but when it takes 12-18hrs too many times you just gotta say f-u.
I didn't have cpat or fastrak(?) so maybe those would be key to have. My last crossing was at least 8 yrs ago so maybe I should just S.T.F.U.
Point is, research border crossing protocols/procedures well in advance to speed your crossing.

Yea That's mainly why I wanted to get up there, I like exploring lol. I have no clue where to start regarding legalities, I gotta find a company first lol

Fuel mileage is pretty bad on those older mechanical engines.
