Rider Express

Pros: I really appreciated the luggage handling and how nice it is to see the driver have assistance!! That is a huge improvement plus great for safer travel too. Cons: Stopping at places to get decent fast food…Lloydminster stop really sucks. Maybe simply change the location for folks to get better food options. Otherwise all others are great!! Tips: Pack your own food and water!! You never know if you will be able to grab something.
