    I did quite a few loads up to Canada for Swift and saw many other American carriers up there.

    Celadon has its own Canadian division, hyndeman. I'm not sure why you'd want to drive for them, though.

    Freight is moving slow in Canada right now. Interprovincial freight even more so. I'd recommend against coming up here unless you already have a reload out scheduled. Ontario tends to be easier to get out of (being that it penetrates directly into the US on several sides) but Western Canada will be nothing but lumber.

    Why do you even need to know?

    I have a lot of friends in Canada, and thought it would be cool to run a load up there once in a while and maybe have coffee with them. It's a beautiful country.

    I just got back from Toronto and I would say the vast majority of US trucks I seen were Celadon. Seen a few Swifts, Schneider, Karls and several Oakley tankers.

    By the way coming out of Canada this morning at Port Huron it was a fricking mess at the US border! Construction had the 94/69 west bound ramp detoured just after the border crossing. Traffic was backed up onto the bridge.

    Nope can't say I have. But what was really stupid is they had most if not all of the border booths open so everyone was trying to merge coming out of the booths to one fricking lane! Unbelievable!

    I spent at least a month sleeping in Canada per year when I was with Conway. (Now CFI again)

    Probably 2 months in Texas.
    Border to border.

    Its funny every time I goto Kentucky Kingdom here in Louisville I'm like "I delivered these"
    The water slides actually came from Ajax Ontario believe it or not. Posted the bill on Facebook & the local news got wind of it between homicide reports. XD
