Unless IR does stuff differently. Dealing with Canada is easy. Though most of the time I'm in transit. Having 13 hours available to drive is nice.
Last Thanksgiving I delivered Christmas trees to multiple locations in Ontario and Manitoba. Really only hard part of Canada is dealing with Quebec. Probably easier if spoke FrenchFriend, nextgentrucker and Tanker_82 Thank this. -
Never been to Maine or New Hampshire either. We do go to Quebec quite often, not as much as before though. We always cross at Champlain NY when loaded for Quebec, never anywhere east of that.
I have heard of loads going into Maine, but I don't know what it is or how often.Friend, nextgentrucker and Tanker_82 Thank this. -
Not bad at all. The stretch of I-80 that goes across Wyoming, Nebraska, and Iowa is where I’ve always been able to squeeze the most miles into a driving clock. (no traffic, no cities, and speed limits that allow you to roll down the hills) I-10 and I-40 across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona are good for cramming miles into a clock as well.
Things are still going well for me over here. I’ve been doing a lot of I-95 and I-81 lately.Friend and nextgentrucker Thank this. -
I can get by not speaking French mainly because we go to regular customers there and know the routine so there really isn't any need to converse with them.Friend Thanks this.

It's more trying to tell the guy at the crossing where your going. I often just say somewhere in Quebec and that's good enoughFriend, nextgentrucker and Redtwin Thank this.

Nice, I had another 714 miles today. Yeah, I finally went to the Westcoast last week, I took I-80, and I was going through Wyoming, and man... It's like this place has only 10 people living there, I had drove about 200 miles before getting to a city, it was crazy. I love that there were no traffic but man, I would feel alone if I lived up there LMAO!! The speed limits are great unlike ScammieFornia where it's 55mph, I was doing 60mph and some trucks was still passing me doing 70mph LOL. Got a good load and I'm glad I got out of CA, I was stuck there for a bit, I'm on I-44 now trying to make my delivery.MIT, Speed_Drums, Friend and 4 others Thank this.

So far I didn't hear back from my application. I question if still don't hire people out of Maine. Though I'm unsure why? Unless don't go there often. If it's because of taxes. They can just do what Oakley did (was dry van/reefer) have me sign something. Then I need to deal with state taxes myself.
Friend and nextgentrucker Thank this. -
Did you call them and check on your application?

We have drivers who are domiciled in states that require tax returns to be filed and state income tax to be paid on their earnings. I lived in Oklahoma, which is one of those states, when I hired on in 2016 prior to relocating to Texas. The driver I’ve mentioned a few times who I brought to IRT has and still does live in Oklahoma, too. So, if that’s what you were thinking, I doubt it’s the issue.
This is just pure speculation on my part, but it could be that Maine isn’t a state that we travel enough. Their concern might be, “How would we get this person routed home without a lot of unnecessary deadhead miles and fuel cost?” I don’t want to speak out of turn by voicing that assumption. Those are just my own thoughts. I say give it a handful of days and follow the application up with a phone call. It won’t hurt anything to call and ask.Friend and nextgentrucker Thank this.
