    No issues actually running on the road with freight. Just usual paperwork, permit book issues.
    French is spoken mostly in Northern Ontario, Quebec and the eastern provinces. I don't speak it, but never had a problem getting things figured out as long as you have a pleasant attitude.
    If you are running super single tires at USA weights you can get around fine. At Canadian weights you can't go into some provinces with them fully loaded.

    I would think biggest issue province to province would be axle weights and spacings but i would also suppose thats same state to state. Here in Ontario you need a CVOR which i guess is kinda like a DOT#? It is your running authority to operate in Ontario. I believe Quebec has similar...not sure of other provinces?

    Tires never crossed my mind as an element in this situation. Does current software applications monitor weight per tire?

    Am I the only one that sees an issue here? Seems rather trolling like. Doesn't seem very well informed for claiming to have the best trucking software in the business..

    This is for a school project that will have no bearing in the real world. I do not represent the company who's product we are working with.

    Don't get into trucking. Forget the software and get one on to flip perfect burgers.
