    Well, today I realized OTR is over lol, it’s become intolerable, even for us contractors. Also the chances of ending up with a trailer full of drugs, is becoming a very real reality. (It just happened to another contractor I know).

    So I’m looking for suggestions for Calgary local O/O work or inter AB/SK. I don’t know much about this scene, as I’ve always been OTR.

    I emailed PRO Formance Intermodal, as I live down the street from them in the NE, but no word back yet.

    Thanks in advance.

    Enough is enough you say. You did not mention and interest in BC. So are you firmly set on staying on the prairies only?

    I am considering running Ohio only lately...our roads are pretty good here.. but we are surrounded by crap roads in all directions except maybe I-77 South.

    I wonder how many of us have run drugs and had no idea whatsoever.

    It would be tough on flatbed because I see everything but I imagine it could be done.

    Glad I run tanks with Haz Waste. No way that crap is going in a tank.

    Not much to it, he hooked a pre-load in Calgary, Delivered in DFW, MT to Laredo, Washed and Reloaded at a Produce Consolidation Cooler, Headed to Surrey BC, was Xrayed crossing at Pacific Highway/Blaine, full offload, drugs in the trailer, you’re under arrest. This will be the 4th trailer, since that big bust at Sweetgrass on Xmas Day, that has been full of drugs, belonging to the companies I’ve contracted for.
