Profile For Kenneth G.

I've been to Canada over 100 times. Crossed at Detroit, Buffalo, vancouver.in Canada, your required to be governed at 65 mph. I agree, if paperwork is right, going into Canada is easy, and now that pot is legal in Canada, getting back to the us is even more difficult. My opinion... If crossing in Detroit area, use the blue water bridge 30 miles north. Buffalo, queenston/Lewiston bridge.. only did Vancouver like 8-10 times. Used the main bridge, no issues. My truck is normally set at 73 mph. So my company pays extra for Canada.

No, Wish that was my rig. I'm in a pos freightliner (09) it's very well maintained, but, at 700k, it rattles and rolls down the road.

Wow, thanks for the info. have crossed about 10 times now, ambasador in , sarnia out. one time 1/2 way to buffalo, turned me around to cross at sarnia, so i could pick up in detroit, but a manifest said buffalo..... yea , x-ray, and counter to clear border, but it was 200 and slow, so didn't delay much. just told them i'm newer, asked what i could do to make life easier for all, and wasn't to bad. what about east of lake erie, crossing by the falls?

Is it Canadians,? or does every truck governed 1/2 mi an hour over you, take 2 miles to pass you

My first trip to Canada, got pulled in for an inspection! Not worried, just ate 90 min of clock. 3rd trip now, no issues, on the 401 in, and the 402 back, due to 75s being closed. Thanks for all the advice, it helped.

Just got mail from the company, I'll find out more this week, and start the process of moving from otr to dedicated, thanks for all your help and information. I've been through about 40 of the 48 states, now i can start with lower canada

Ok, found out I'm going at least to london, on. and thanks for the 13' 6" and 100km conversion, That WILL help a lot. You can drive longer up there? and whats wrong w/ quebec? my only Canadian travels have been as a tourist near the falls. Whats good to check out near london?

Thanks for the info, Guess I'll have low/no problems, They didn't give me any details, other than going through michigan and cross there, or thru Buffalo and cross by the falls, You interested? The michigan route I'm expected to run there and back in one shift ( 550 miles ). through Buffalo, it's closer to 675 miles round trip. So, I was told by another driver it's easier to get in to Canada than get in the US. He's retiring in 3 months so, I have a little time. Guess I found a cooler place to drive for the summer than texas.

My company has offered me a to run loads to and from Canada, I was just wondering what I may have gotten myself into. Could anyone give me some advice?
