    I'm heading across the border tomorrow also. The Canada runs are getting kinda old now. I wouldn't miss the $25 at all if I never went back again.

    I hide it! You can't really see it from the street when I park at the house. If I have a trailer, I will park at Dairy Queen.

    Reset will be done here in Winnipeg at 8pm. Got my load assignment earlier today. Dead head 895 miles down to Minooka Illinois for a drop and hook tomorrow evening going to our West Memphis yard for Monday. The load I delivered here yesterday had a declared value of $941,000 dollars. I'm thinking that the freight rate the company made will offset this dead head.

    Even after you get the $25 Canada crossing?.

    I was thinking they could double the crossing pay. It shouldn't hurt them too much.

    An extra $25 would almost make dealing with those miserable CBP dudes worth it...almost.

    Having said that, this past friday the guy was quite pleasant, even smiled and joked. I thought for sure it was a setup and was expecting them to swarm me as soon as I pulled away from the booth.
