Rip Van Winkle Trucking in Ontario

It's very bad along that very specific corridor. I worry even more once e-logs hit what a crap show its gonna be.

I rarely ever stop at on routes. They are a crap show even during the day time. I remember I seen two drivers having a brawl in the parking lot at the Woodstock onroute. If I were you I'd stay away from them if you can.

 

“200 added parking spots“. That don’t cut the mustard. Still would not put that turd show back on my map

 

200 spots is more like 150 once the east Indians show up in the parking lot. Although it's a good start it's nowhere near enough.

It always disappoints me how terrible the parking situation is running Canada only. Although when I ran Toronto > Moncton, NB I always found parking.

 

More rest areas up north sounds great! And then you realize that a couple porta potties and 3 parking spots counts as a rest area.

Hopefully they're planning something a bit better than this.

That’s not up north. That’s parry sound. Try marathon. Terrace bay. Ignace. Atikokan. Marathon is my favorite. Great big building with bathrooms locked up for the better part of my 25 yrs running 17. Meanwhile there’s two porta potties with a foot of snow in them and six inches of crap on the seats.

You really think the govt cares about the north? Not a chance.

 

Even finding a place for a quick pee can be difficult. The snow ought turnarounds work but often one of the immigrant drivers hogs the whole spot. Some of these places are on an uphill climb! Even in Western Canada rest areas are non existent. Saskatchewan has a welcome center with no truck access. Alberta has some larger areas with 3rd world bathrooms. No lights. No water. Unreal.

 

Lol, what a joke of a visitor center.

Do they even plow that in winter?

 

They sure do.
