    Ah Mississuaga doesn't bother me. Only Quebec because I don't understand french. Sounds like you had a great week. I'm getting between 2500-3000 so that's fine with me. I'm making money without having to "kill" myself.

    Kabar, 3200 a week pulling reefer is #### good, hope it keeps up for ya. I pulled a load to Montreal Quebec once, it was only one time and will remain one time! The most unfriendly bunch of people, If I was Canadian I would give them their independence, the other parts of Canada I love, but the Frenchies.......different. My 2c.

    Well I started at .39, with 14 cents of that being per diem(little high if you ask me, my opinion only though) But Marten is on a sliding scale... if the load you run is less miles than their average length of haul, you get more per mile.

    Average length of haul right now is 650-800, but I've been doing much better than that. My average is coming out to about 1200 per trip
