Allie Knight (You Tube page) drives and is the recruiting poster girl for Palmer now. She's not driving much recently (desk job) but you might look through her videos.
Chickiemonster has been seen paling around with Allie.
First video I saw of hers was going thru NYC. Crazy! When it was done i said I wanna have fun too. I was a fan but being on the road i couldn't use up the data on my phone. Lost touch. Watched Indiana Jack too and alot of how to videos.
Anyone out there been to Canada thru North Dakota? Are there truck stops in Canada? A walmart? Havent checked yet but im thinking trucker path doesnt go up that far.
If you're traveling to Canada from ND, you'll either cross into Manitoba, or Saskatchewan.
There are truck stops in Canada, but there aren't a lot of full service ones. That is to say, many are places to fuel and park without much more in the way of amenities. Though I'd expect that SK and MB are similar to ND in respect to number and services. Trucker Path does cover Canada.
There is more than one Walmart in Canada. Locations
Canada has a population smaller than the state of California - although it's comparable. Much like California the majority of the population is either on the border or on the coast(s). Only in the case of Canada the coasts (at least where the people are) are small, and the border is very long. Basically, the people of Canada concentrate in cities near the border with the USA.
Cool, thank you Michael. My husband, Michael, is sitting in ND. I'll relay the info. Im sitting at home watching allie knight videos
As Michael S. said, there are truck stops in Canada. There is even a Flying J in Saskatoon, and a bunch of Flying Js between Edmonton and Calgary on Highway 2. There are also Petros up there, but I'm not sure all of them take shower credits from the UltraOne card. The other truck stops may or may not have all the amenities, which is common in rural areas in the US anyway.
One thing I would advise is changing some US cash to Canadian at the border. There is a fee of course, but it came in pretty handy a few times when I was there. Plus they have $1 and $2 coins, which are fun.
OMG. Forgot about the cash thing. Im waiting to hear from him. Hope his bank card works.
You don't need to worry about changing your US dollars to CA almost everywhere will take either. And your cards will work up here no problem.
There isn't the problem for parking like I hear people down south describe often and all the hi ways have pit stop places you can park up but with little to nothing around you in the way of stores etc.
And you can drive longer hours north of the border so you know.
But don't forget to add the eh at the end of your sentence so you fit right in :) eh!

I'm reading about Jim Palmer Trucking. It's almost word for word. I read that they are "family" companies but are they one and the same? Are there 300 trucks each? or is that combined? Hmmm
