    Unless I hilighted or was going to Canada, I pretty much stayed within 500 miles of that line.

    Ok that's how we are, we mostly run Il,OH,IN and of course Texas,just tired of that scenery. We're fixing to get our passcards just waiting on my Birth Certificate to come in from Alaska, is going to Canada really worth it all , do you go up there alot if you have your passcards?

    I think it was worth it. There will be short runs from Taylor where you sit at the border for 4 hours (yay $25 border pay) on a 100 mile load, but the Montreal to Calexico type runs make up for it. There is also a San Jose to Calgary, then Edmonton to Reno loop that I was on for like 2 weeks in February.

    Canada is fun.

    Calgary is full of sexy sexy sexy ladies up at the Marlboro mall. Wowza.

    Nice to get out of town. By town I mean the USA... Chick hates when I say that. But its the truth.

    Sorry hun 15 minutes to chubby rays doesn't count as an outing. That's a once a week full pretrip.

    I never had a short run up there, never waited more than 30 minutes at the border, and never had a long run out of there. All in all I'd say it wasn't really worth it. That's just my opinion. Only went up there 8 times in 2 years.

    This trip from Tucson to Odessa is getting old lol. But getting a paid week off every 2 weeks is nice. Unusually cool here in TX. Rain is nice. Sitting around bored until orientation. At least my room has satellite TV.

    How many of you put your big lock on the trailer for every load ?


    Just wanted to say to watch out if you don't always put it on, another driver called in on us and told dispatch we didnt have one on

    What the hell is wrong with some folks???? I left my off sometimes when empty but not if I was parking somewhere. I was more afraid of someone putting something in the box if you know what I mean!
