    So maybe Hartt should take Bison drivers. .55 cpm or .65 cpm for NYC. I'm not touching NYC unless you pay me $50/hour or more

    Question for you Bison drivers. Since you go from Canada to USA. How is the border crossing? Asking because I might end up on doing stuff in Canada soon after I get my 2nd dose. I did get "training" months ago. It was just a guy from safety showing me how to handle paperwork. Which I kind of forgotten most of.

    Just be glad that they were purchased by another trucking company. Once a private equity company purchases a trucking company to add to their portfolio, it’s usually downhill. If profits drop, the company is dismantled and sold in sections, contracts, real estate, and equipment.

    It is fairly easy. If you know what to do. At Bison, we have a customs department that handles all the peocedures. All we need to do is forward our paperwork to them and they are dealing with the brokers and set up the manifests. We're getting automated messages during the process. Through an internal app we can check the clearance status as well and upload the ppwk.

    To the port of entries, it's a hit or miss. I can only speak about those from central and east.
    The most unpredictable in regards of waiting times is Windsor/Detroit in both directions.

    Nothing seems to be different. Time will tell. There was a message over the tablet saying on the 19th and 20th the CEO and President of Bison was up in Bangor Maine. If we wanted to see him and ask him things.

    Use the chance if you can. Rob is a nice guy. He started at Bison as a driver and worked his way up.
     
    peterd and Northern Nomad Thank this.
