As I get older I'm starting to like the after sledding commoradory better than riding. Having a BBQ, few drinks and relaxing for the rest of the night.

My brother owns D. M. Krenkevich here and I work for him. I run the open deck division, help out with the vans and reefers and pretty much the jack of all trades here.
sorry, yes we're a trucking company.

We go everywhere. A complete old truck may be a little pricey, but it all depends what we have loaded. Sometimes a customer will need to book a truck badly and pay for a full load when there is only say 30ft out of the 53 ft we have in our vans. Our decks are 48ft, if you have smaller stuff in an area we're in I can give good deals. We only go through Saskatchewan to go to Vancouver 2 - 3 times a week, we have a terminal in West St Paul, just on the North Perimeter hwy in Winnipeg. I save a ton of shipping when ordering parts, one of my driver's has a girlfreind down south and I just get everything shipped there. He's allowed $450/trip duty free. Boy am I having Brain Farts I thought I was replying to Sheldon. We go to toronto 6 times a week.

Grant, you go from Winterpeg to Toronto 6 times a week, thats great, your driver probly drives through North Bay where I live is about 5 blocks from the trans Canada HWY.

What I want from down south is a 2012 F350 Lariat, single rear wheel CC truck, with about 20 K miles on it, G
