    Yes. I did my share of BC Hwy 1/3/5 and others, way to many close calls, know 3 guys who got hit head on by scabby flip flop companies, know one guy who died at 3 Valley Gap, head on by a CNTL driver.

    Also as mentioned, that detour is going to be brutal, and most companies aren’t even gonna pay 1/2 the extra miles.

    They're finally gonna open up the highway above Golden?????

    Those tight 'n' twistys were half the fun of driving that highway.

    Crazy suggestion: get a dog and train that dog to alert for drugs.

    Easier said than done? Yes.

    The dogs at the Laredo Immigration check, did not pickup the drugs. Vacuum packaging, dry ice chilled and mixed in with the produce, next to impossible to detect, unless you use X-ray/Full Offload.

    **Update** Pro Formance has driver facing cameras, no paid waiting time and seem like a bunch of slave driving ########.....I have a feeling this is going to be a recurring theme looking for local jobs in Calgary.
