    Wow now that sure is a trip as long as the Canadians let you through up the Alaskan highway in Yukon, have you got a bull bar on the front you'll need one for any moose you encounter. Be sure to bring some grisly bear repellent as well.

    Fargonaz, what is better in your opinion, going back for $1.00 a mile or going paying the fuel and permits from my pocket? Everybody knows that getting a load back from here its almost impossible, so if I found one (even at this price), its make me happy, I do live in Naples, FL, I have gone several times empty all the way to Atlanta, GA to pick up a load at regular price and not working for $1.00 a mile, but from here is different, I have to go back anyway, if somebody pay for my fuel and permits, I am grateful for that and I took the trip. Unfortunately with yours (or others) opinion, I can't pay for anything in this country, and I am 100% sure that if I didn't take the load when I did it, somebody else will 20 minutes later.
