That's cause of our roads Ronin...we don't have a huge pile of 4 lane highways here...esp in the far north where Lady & I run & also I would imagine with our multitudes of different trailer configurations we have that are different from yours.

Besides you come here, you abide by OUR rules...just like we do when we go down there! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

AND...Lady lookin good...I certainly WISH I had the time to get mine all spiffed up again...geez I think I am still lokkin through bugs that are 3 weeks old! LOL No rest for the weary.

With luck I should be heading up there either tonight or tomorrow...the suits are still trying to decide if I gotta hang out till tomorrow...my PDIC is expired & they're starting to freak about it! LOL the trials of having LCV certification!

My baby...when she's clean:

Yeah, and what is it you guys are allowed to drive down there? 11 hours a day? pffff....



I saw someone waiting for a switch on Wednesday Kat and tried to ask him if you were coming but no answer on the radio.

[wildkat]

He likely doesn't have a big radio in his truck yet, cause he asked me once why nobody would talk to him on the CB (he's new) & I told him "we don't use those much up here, & to get a big radio, most everybody runs LADD1 & the scales LADD2, so he said he was looking into it last I saw him, but that was last week, I think. I've been back running Yellowknife the last 10 days or so cause our o/o who usually does that has been sick. But should be back to my usually Nelson & Whitehorse next week.Was it a new Pete? White aeorodyne thing...388 or somesuch? That would be Peter...he's my usual switch if it was. There's another guy...can't recall his name at the moment he's a company guy, then the other guys are Holmes, but I hear they aren't being used so much anymore, Buyers is really trying to get away from the outside carriers...costs them too much & insurance issues are driving them crazy...too many accidents

I thought so..you ARE afterall NORTH of 60! :lol: :lol: :lol:

But I thought you would know for sure.... yeah that 20 hour thing gets em everytime...you have the adverse conditions exemption like we do too don't you? Where you can add the extra 2 hours of drive time if the roads are bad? I know you can in the NWT & Alberta, not sure about BC tho, what about the Yukon?

[LadyNorthStar]

Yep Yukon has all the bells and whistles regarding extra hours and what not.
BC does not, they are turds.

[wildkat]

Yup, Yup :dung: :dung: :dung: :dung:

BC....Beyond Canada, Bring Cash.... take your pick LMAO!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
