    I have no problems with the signs as I grew up in Belgium speaking French but the Quebecois dialect can be a pain in the arse. As long as both of us are speaking proper french it's not too bad, though.

    Western canada and NB NS and PEI all use tridem's instead of tandem spread axles. Ontario and quebec does allow 10 foot spreads. So many canada companies from the west or east will run tridems, which are also legal for the same weight or more as a ten foot spread in the US

    I'm not sure if that fleshy headed mutant is friendly or if radiation has made him an enemy of civilization, so I'm staying out of the great white north

    My truck has too long of a wheelbase and the rates are not good enough to justify all the paperwork and hoops you have to jump thru.

    10 foot spread gives you 40000 in the US, jusr checked yesterday and North Dakota gives you 48,000 on tridem.
