Crossing the border - What is required?

Your HOS are more lax than the US... so you would need to follow the US HOS.

 

@NorthernMechanic ... any info??? ( I'm thinking he's not posted it in the best place; I thought he was looking for info to get INTO Canada...No clue, the other way! )

 

Never left the country. No idea what is needed.

 

LoL... @not4hire ?????

 

You need an ACE lead sheet. Coming northbound with a load, you must also have a lead sheet now. 2000 fine if you don't.

**you might be able to pay a third party to do this service for you. I am not familiar with any of them as I do my own with my own account.

 

You forgot paying us customs the 14.00 truck fee, or buying an annual transponder!
