As far as I know poutine originated in Quebec. Their gift to the rest of Canada. A fat/carb bomb but excellent with a Guiness on a cold winter night sitting in a warm pub.

I have a pretty nice 4G phone, but hardly ever use the damn thing. I actually receive, get this...phone calls!...with it, text maybe five times a week, and play two games on it. My music is on it, too, but even there, it's been perhaps two months since I've listened to any of my 1200-song library. I have it on me on the road, but sometimes I do not even turn it on! It stays charged for nearly four DAYS, if that tells you anything.
It truly disgusts me how so many people are wrapped up in these damn devices. No one knows how to truly communicate these days. And don't get me going on the lack of ability to form a coherent sentence, with proper grammar and punctuation!
Oh, last thing - it's NOT a damn "hashtag"...it's a POUND SIGN!

You have become another eunich.
Turn it in your badge.
By the way. You drive in some beautiful country. I oh so envy you.
What's the average time to your first stop?
You delivering or shuttling?
I HATE that Allison truck...You should have been at the drivers meeting when they had the Allison corporate propaganda people there trying to convince us that a 6 speed is BETTER then a manual shifted 18 speed. I wanted to strangle someone.
As for my deliveries. My out of town run I'm anywhere from 1 to 3 hours between deliveries. I'm also gone for 3 days.

I have never tried Poutine. I have talked to those that are true connoisseurs of the product and they tell me that the Poutine at Costco is right near the top for deliciousness.

Being at the top of the seniority list, I was always assigned a new tractor when they came in. Twice they rammed an Allison down my throat. Twice I kept my old tractor. Absolutely detested them.
Know who LOVED them? The kids... "Oh, my leg hurts. I want an automatic...."

They "SWEAR" (they = salesmen) the autos improve fuel economy by 10-15%.
The company kept strict records of operating costs and the the autos were getting up to 7 mpg while the sticks were around 6. I never broke 6 mpg....

I keep track of my own fuel economy in the fleet trucks I drive. And the Freightliner, with the Allison gets worse mileage then any other truck. They seem to be good on the highway if it's flat with no hills...but we live, and operate, in friggin BC....We have a few hills around!!
Our Volvos with a D13 Volvo power motor, and a 13 speed Ishift tranny, does better then the Allison.

Yah you are never going to see mileage numbers that high again with these filter trucks that are out now all the years that jb, schnider, swift etc. Had thier drivers trying for fuel bonuses on trucks that where easily capable of 6.5-8 when fuel was 2.00/gal fuel cost was .25-.30 cpm nowonder they only wanted to pay .24-.25 com to the driver. With these filter trucks 5 mpg if your lucky at 3.75/gal the .40 cpm their paying the scumbag in the seat looks like a bargain.
