Buy a truck in Canada to move to USA

Subscribed.

 

It's easy enough to do. You need to verify that it confirms with FHWA and EPA for that year. If it is an American truck, VIN beginning 1 instead of 2, then it complies. If it is Canadian, VIN beginning 2, then you need a letter from the manufacturer that it complies.
FET is paid to the irs. You'll need to pay the customs fee, around $12 when I imported my truck.

Canada doesn't have titles, so you need the registration and bill of sale.

 

I used to work for a Canada based carrier.

Every time a new unit came into the US for the first time we had to pay the US customs fee.

We had a few old Canadian KW day cabs with mechanical speedometers reading Kilometers; drove NJ's fuel tax auditors nuts till we discovered it was in Klicks but todays electric units should be able to switch to miles now.

 

Why register in US - he can register here and drive in the US as long as 'the driver' is leaglly entitled to work in the US. One of our O/O is looking into this

 

been too long now [pre 2000]

 

So apprently my guy said the truck can be registered under a Canadian company - the driver can work in teh US .. and do US-US laods as long as he is American/green card/ work permit in the US. The plan is atleast once a month we bring him to Canada... have his 36hr reset.. he went to a lawyer about it. I don't have details yet but this is what I was told.
I am waiting for details before we commit to running the truck
