    Is it a big deal going across the border in a truck? Never have done it.

    I've done it three times now. It's no big deal if everything goes right, but there is plenty that can go wrong. You hear drivers all the time with horror stories about crossing. You can be detained for long periods of time for things that are totally out of your control. Most companies pay you extra for taking this risk, not Maverick. That's where the real rub comes in. And then there's Quebec, but that's a whole story in it's self, wee wee!
     
    Ridgerunner665 and JimTheHut Thank this.

    I've got one of those jigsaw puzzle loads on here now....dozer parts (Deere 1050 J parts).

    2 blades, 2 sets of push bars, 2 sets of ripper shanks, and 2 crates full of pieces and parts (bolts, etc.)

    Not heavy (appx. 30,000 lbs)...but it took some creative thinking to get it all to fit on there in a way that I could secure it properly.

    I've been hauling mostly dozers since my last post...2 of them I think...its been a bit slow lately, or maybe it was just me thats been a bit slow.
