    Default I hate to brag, but...

    My shipper is a big-wig at the casino he works at and managed to get me a free hotel room and a voucher for free meals in the restuarant. I unload here on the premises tomorrow and can shower before I hit the road after unloading in the Nevada sun 8)

    I don't know if I should say where I'm at out of courtesy. However, its not in Las Vegas or Reno, but its a nice place.

    A lot of the times HHG is cookies&cream, but theres times when its ****&strawberry shortcake Canada seiezed my dad's truck/trailer and offloaded his HHG and billed him oer $5000 for felonies/misdemeanors he didn't have (confused him with the wrong guy).

    I don't know whats been up canada customs ass lately, but they've really stepped up inspections and enforcement . I was at the border yesterday for nearly 4 hours while they tore my truck apart and then unloaded my trailer to inspect the interior of the trailer. They were doing this all day. As soon as one truck pulled out of the dock, they had another pulling in. Stiffest enforcement i've ever seen for Canada.
    Finally, I'm on the road!
