    Were any of you Calex drivers on I-95 southbound in FL just past MM191 at approximately 1025. I saw green 780 Volvo with a reefer and thought it was a Calex truck.

    Well, I'll definitely be in Pittston for orientation on May 4th, so if any of you happen to be at the terminal, give me a shout and say hello.

    Congrats on that Voyager. And I've had an extremly busy and productive week which I can't wait to update on. But have a question for Johnboy or anyone else here that crosses into Canada. Long story short I did a Canada last night and crossed back in a bit ago I'm on 90 now at a rest stop. When I crossed into CA last night, my logs switched to canada logs or something and added extra hours. Didn't think nothing of it but after my 10hr rest and getting unloaded, this thing started me today with I think 12 or so driving hours. So just wondering how many hours do I really have to drive. Is it whatever my e logs show minus 1 hour?. Trying to figure this out cuz I wanna get to Pittston and grab my I2m load and try to make it home today. Its gonna be cutting it really short but this canada log shift got me confused now. Thanks in advance. Anthony

    Canada has different HOS then the US. There's is based on 70/7, while ares are 70/8. It automatically switches when you enter Canada then switches back when you enter the US. Somewhere in the middle of the bridge going in either direction it changes. Once you get to the US it's back to our HOS.

    Indeed John thanks. It changed by itself going into Canada. But dint change on its own coming back in for some reason. Ended up manually changing it myself and got the hours correct again. Although I didn't mind the extra hours lol. Btw sent you a PM let me know if it went thru. Have no clue if my PMs even get out sometimes. Thanks Anthony

    Happy Easter to you too, John.

    Happy Easter to you as well, and I hope to be able to meet all of you from the forum once I'm on board.
