How is everyone’s company doing right now

Haul auto parts for a major vehicle company. Has not slowed down and we are still hiring drivers. Unless there is another major parts shortage I can not see us slowing down anytime soon

 

I heard it's because other companies in that area aren't paying what they pay over here. I don't know how true that is.

 

How do you do that legally?

 

If hes doing pin to pin, depending on where the terminals are and time of day he starts, its a 12hour rounder with no delays... 30 min pretrip and pin... 5.5 drive time one way, 30-45 min switch at yard, 5.5 back, and a drop.

That would be a Mississauga to Vaudreuil rounder. I would assume his terminal is east MTL and his TOR terminal is Mississauga, but if it was out in east GTA, he could obviously do it in less with alot less headaches for traffic.

 

I don't believe it, not even in a perfect world, not even if you have maintenance you can trust at each end, and do that consistently 5days a week, week after week?
Even from Ajax to Dorian it would be a struggle to keep up that pace.

 

4 1/2 hrs from Ajax to Dorion PQ so it should be no problem to do that rounder legally.

 

Actually that's 5hrs15 min driving time done legally. But ya that would be possible but 5 times a week infinitely?

I know a guy that started near Belleville goes to miss. then montreal and back to Belleville 5 nights a week but on paper.

 

He didn’t say 5 trips in 5 days so it might be a 5.5 /6 day week

 

According to the MTO it takes 13 hrs to drive to Montreal and back from 27 and 50 area, so that leaves 1 hr to fuel, do inspection, drop and hook on each end etc. So 1 little snafu and you're beat.
That's what I'm saying
And do 5 a week, every week, is impossible to do 100% legally
JMO of course, ymmv
Is any body else old enough to remember where the 13 hrs drive time comes from in CAN.
