For the record guys i'm not from alberta,,and i agree totally we have to have our ducks in a row when we head out, i stated that in my original post,,love valemont,,and couple volunteer dot guys won't keep me away! JUST trying to say it was a little overboard, with the lectures and all,,i've been at this for a solid 20 years and i learn a new one everytime i head out, But i will not accept the attitude of this individual last friday and think he done a poor job off representing the people of the area,,He wasn't spoke to in a disrespectful manner,,so one would expext the same in return....I have no problem owning up to mistakes,,diliberate or through my own ignorance of the rules,,,,,,,,,,,,BUT ALL BEWARE WHEN HEADED THERE,,THEY ARE LOOKING FOR YOU ALL,,NO MATTER WHERE YOUR FROM AND THEY DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR EDUCATION,PROFESSION,OR RACE IS

HAVE A SAFE SEASON

So I guess we have to look out for " THE MAN"

wow this tread is nuts
cops can do what ever they want, to a point..
hilclber, be glad your not in a 3rd world country(mexico etc) where the cop's can pull us out of our $80 000 trucks(I'm poor and own a ford ranager)( and a subaru sti) then they(fedreralies) will shoot you in the head, throw your bodies in the ditch and drive away with your rig. it happens
Canada rules, bc or alberta, out west is the place to be
my 2 cents

lol...I can see both sides of the discussion, and sort of understand where everyone is coming from. Smokingdave has valid points about safety and securement, as well as yourself about feeling "singled out" because of geographic location.

A bunch of years ago when northern BC started really getting busy in the patch and we were over there a lot moving drilling rigs and equipment, they seemed to pick on us Alberta guys a lot. I even got sucked in to the anger and let my feelings be known to an officer in Dawson Creek. he totally raked me over the coals, and I learned to just shut my mouth when dealing with them. It must have been a problem, because a few years later, they seemed to really back off and mellowed out a lot.

now Charlie Lake scale is one of the most pleasant places to be checked, and I no longer have the anger. partly because I knew what they liked to hear and see, and partly because I think they realized we "got it" and try to keep our collective noses clean. I'm thinking this situation is quite similar, there has been just too many complaints about the plates from the next province over, maybe some unfounded, maybe some legit.

always remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. it may not have been you specifically that pissed someone off, we must all try to change the perception that Albertans are arrogant pr!cks that think they deserve to be treated differently, because we bust our azzes for the junk we have. some just see the expensive rigs and assume we are "that guy". sucks, but it's the way it is.

take care guys and gals, have a safe season. and for chrissakes, let's just try to get along. we are all sledders, and just wanna ride.....

Excellent post teeroy,
I hope that everyone complies because just one bad apple can ruin it for all of us.Also teeroy thanks for the positive rep I got negative from only two and four that were positive. Thank You once again you are the kind of person I would sled with.

Steel Town Thank You , I lived in Mexico as a kid thats a whole different world down there. Most do not know how easy we have it here. If you don't mind riding with a Cat guy we should sled sometime soon Steel Town. I saw your post on blow out 09's and have called a buddy who is looking for a new xp and told him to stop in.,

NoSecondChances, Hey there thanks for the support.You sound like a very smart person that is an asset to this forum.I hope to ride with you this season.I think the last time I PMed you about sledding you said after the new year. World needs more people like you and a few others on this thread.

To Marcuso, You also sound like an intelligent person and have read a lot of your posts.Next year at the turkey day ride I'll try and hook up with you instead of hiding over at Frisby to get away from the crowds.

Hey there srosscojo,Slick, Frock, Pano-Dude,Jaynelson and yes you too Cyle Many Thanks for speaking up.Without people like yourselves this country we live in would sure be an ugly dangerous place. Change can only happen with these type check stops to clean up the riff raff that feel they can do what and what ever they please. When people start following the basic rules of the road and tie down securment laws and quit driving off the mountain drunk maybe the police won't have to set up these check stops and will have time to catch the real crooks.Untill then we all have to suck it up and hope that the guy who feels he is above law is the one they catch in these little check stops.
To all those people that gave me good rep thank-you and to the two that gave me the bad rep to me it does not mean a thing to me. I will continue to write my reports and make comments as needed.This is a site for sledders and any who know me know that I love this hobby and will help anyone weather it be snow reports or a ride to BC to go sledding.

Cheers,
Dave

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the fog lights that weren't covered were a set of Lightforce fog lights. They really need to be covered. That line is really picked on by the DOT. I moved 3 C5500 service trucks and needed to get scale tickets on them. The customer wanted Lightforce lights. THe WD had the lights but was out of the black covers. I rolled through the scales and got a talking to by the scalemaster about the need for the covers. They made me go back and show them that I was invoiced for them but they weren't there yet. I'm just the guy selling the truck and these trucks will live and die in a coal mine so they'll never see the road.

A ski tie-down bar on the front with a 1/2" bolt in each and two 1,500 lb. ratchet straps on the back of each sled. Both front tie down bolts sheared off and all four 1,500 lb straps broke. As well, the 2'' trailer ball with 1" shank sheared off AND both DOT-approved safety chains broke.

Imagine if - that accident happened today.... and one of those loose sleds caused an injury/death ..... and you didn't have them tied down at the rear or the trailer safety chains hooked up... even though they all broke in the crash.... you'd be up sh!t creek.

 

[JDKZRT]

this bill chit has gone on long enough!!! cyle your a complete moron!!! and smokindave is a braindead 47 yearold truck driver who obviously has no life!!!
you r both WRONG. and there is no point in arguing with you, because all you can think to comeback with is a simple and narrow minded response such as "grow up" every post smokin dave tells someone to grow up.......

well i got one for ya. GET A LIFE!!!!!!!

Dude.... when you call someone a moron in your first post, it's a good idea to have someone check your grammar and spelling because you come off looking like a .......
LMAO

Agreed! Me thinks it's someone else who posted in this thread a bit to scared of posting on their real account

This site is so great, informative, and entertaining! Laws are laws, if you don't like it, stay home, or just pay your fine and/or deal with the consequences, and could vary from equipment damage, or a fatality, which would haunt you for the rest of your life and others lives.. You should see the driving laws here in Africa...there is none really, talk about having your life in sombody elses hands, not a good feeling.....our laws are to make all our lives safer, some places in this world have not gotten this far yet. trust me, we got it VERY good, would not want it any other way.. Ok, I feel better now.. Merry Christmas y'all

You should see the message he left with his bad rep he gave me.He must be a 12 year old no offence to you 12 year olds out there.Told me to shut my dirty old trucker f#$% mouth.I sent him some bad rep.There was also a guy that put a message up saying why am I giving every one bad rep. Well there slik toxic I gave it to two and you know who so I'll also be sending a little your way.Sure do wish that these dhildren would just take responsibility for their actions and pay their fines and try to tie things down or cover their off road lights or what ever it is that is getting them their tickets aand let the adults use this forum for what it was designed for sledders helping sledders not I broke the law and got a ticket and want to whine publicly.
The biggest whinner has already said how rich he is yet whines about a $90.00 ticket. Hope this thread is finished.

Cheers,
Dave

If you ever make it over to Canada PM me and we will go sledding.

A rig worker working hard? Pretty sure that is a oxymoron. You show up to work everyday and you get a frigging bonus on the rigs, pretty pathetic. I'm not going to get into the pissing match, but I can tell you right now I work harder then most rig workers, very few know what real work is anymore. I like how you try to throw it in my face that i'm 19. When the fact is I have more to show for working then most rig workers who buy the fancy toys only to loose them because they throw their money away worse then a 4 year old. Keep riding the wave, the bust will come eventully and almost all the rig workers will loose everything like they did in the 80's.....but they aren't dumb enough to have it happen again, or are they?

Big talk for someone born in the 80's. Dude...you have no clue about rig hands. I seriously doubt you could hack it.

Other than this misguided induvidual...the thread is a pretty good read.

 

[PowderBrad]

yeah, I was there 5 days ago, they made me change my trailer chains. I had rust on my old ones. Well guess what, I just drove 8 hours on salt and watery roads, what do you think would happen? I had to go spend 30 bucks at bumper to bumper to get rid of 'rust'

Bull**** if you ask me.

I agree with you. All safety gear hooked up and still hasseled that is BS. Did you give them attitude? I am glad over the summer I sand blasted the underneath along with safety chains on my enclosed trailer and repainted. My trailer was new last season but salty roads sure made a mess.That would make me mad also.Whats next? At least you made an effort.

Cheers,
Dave

I could not resist after reading all the holier than everyone crap from smokindave, he seems to be changing his tune. Is it possible that the cops gave this guy a hard time about his chains, just because they can? Could not be though, right Dave? because all the cops are out doing thier job only to protect us from all the law breakers on the road. I'm sure you will have some long winded comment about how I should grow up, but I'm going to fight maturing till I take my last breath, have fun dave, sounds like you could use some.

Same old tune!!! Just read you are 50 years old thought I was talking to a kid.And yes if a cop wants give you a rough time because he wants to I guess he can.You make guys like Cyle look more mature.At least he is trying.I could understand I will fight aging till I take my last breath but maturity once again I think you are almost as mature Cyle no offence Cyle you have an excuse beening only 19.

Cheers Dude
