    +1 on read the road signs. Read each and every one. Check a milepost every so often. Know your location.
    Once you learn the paperwork requirements, border crossing is no big deal. It IS generally an exercise in patience, however.

    Make sure you get a rewards card where ever your company fuels. Got to get them showers. Unless you like being with greasy hair like the guy I seen at the Pilot today.
