Too many bugs in the spring

 

Crossover at Sweetgrass, MT. Beware that not all border crossing are 24 hrs. bring $$$$ 4 permits and have ur paperwork faxed somewhere along the route

Nice route planning tool, in case you haven't seen it.

Looks like it will take about 70 hours. Post often w/ pictures.

 

ooo a load. Probably pays #### near 10,000 going and another 10,000 coming back. That would make me try a load to AK any time too if I was still active...

 

Go NW thru Alberta thru Dawson's Creek to British Columbia. You will need to buy a permit in Yukon Territory as they dont have IFTA. Have a credit card (it automatically goes as Canadian) or (Canadian) Cash. Brings chains, small tools. little things happen up there.....bring rubber cement and super-glue lol.....

 

Hope you got a good enough rate going up there to pay for the weeks you're on this trip and all those empty miles back to the USA. If your reload is a sure thing then it's just bonus money you should still charge enough that you could deadhead all the way back to Dallas. Though I'm sure some cheap desperate people would do it for a lot less and pay for a broker's kid's college. It'll probably take you two weeks just to get to Anchorage.

 

Following this. Hope you update us frequently on this journey. Been there in the spring time . would be to scared to go this time of year .
