    What an excellent and interesting story. Thanks, I'll be following this, now that I found it.

    When you said you were in Thermo-King, I thought you were gonna say " to get warm".

    Looks like you have never driven in Canada. Their reset is 36hrs for Cycle 1 and 72hrs for Cycle 2. Than you have rules for North and South of the 60 Latitude to follow as well. They love American drivers that follow the American rules since those are easy tickets to write and a lot of times those come with a 72 hrs out of service as well. I am going on three years running up there and know drivers that have done this run for the last 30 to 50 years.
    Hopefully, I wont have to fire myself in the near future since I just bought this new truck.:confused:

    Companies that come to mind are Fairchild Freight, Sleipner Transport, and Lynden with all it's subsidiaries. I used to work for Fairchild and they have all the info on their website. With Sleipner you would probably have to call and talk to Dick Rankin( owner ) in Anchorage, AK. Not sure on Lynden, but I imagine they have some info online to get you started.
