Im hauling to the to the us right now and there system is back logged but nothing like ours, it seems we go threw this every year, and excuse after excuse is all we get

cp needs a complete revamp... Maybe fire everyone and bring in new management .... Big shake-ups us sadly fix big issues

don't get me going on this strike or any other for that matter!!!! Dock strike was over 2 weeks ago and still have containers sitting in Taiwan waiting to come to Vancouver due to back log! On the other hand, loading grain from the prairies we are now at approx 2-3 months for rail cars!! I have US clients who refuse to book that far out so we are missing opportunities for Canadian grain. What a shame!

Any body have experience with the Dutch seed brakes? Are they worth the money to put on? And where should they go, closer to the manifolds or the shank? Any input is appreciated.

We are selling a few sets of Dutch seed brakes this year. One customer just picked up a set after getting a couple to try out.Ithink they go down at the shank the way they have been explaned to us.

Yup,it all matched last year with the bourgault drill and color coded liquid tank. Going to take some real talking with the "Gate Master" to get a green track machine!
