Canada customs inspection - argh!

I went through all that 2 weeks ago. Spent three hours there. Then I spent two hours at the weight station 1 mile up the road for a full paperwork and truck inspection where they found two tthings wrong and gave me a $230 fine. That was a 14 hour day. Parked the truck with 7 minutes to spare.

 

WOW!!! And I was upset a few weeks ago when the US Customs searched and x-rayed my truck. I knew they could do this but never thought they really did. Was it just because of the camera and such or did they give you any explanation of why they gave you the third degree?

I thought about quiting too, but I like driving the trucks way too much to just give it up.

I believe that I have been put on some sort of "list" since the first time i have entered canada. I was a smart rear to one gaurd and had a discussion about a pocket knife being a weapon. Ever since then I always get pulled through secondary screening.

 

Figure out what you have to do to not be allowed into canada. We have guys that can not go to canada because they did not pay for a bad check and went to court over it. Had one guy turned around because he had a disorderly conduct violation on his record.

 

I feel your pain A couple of years ago I had samples of Organic Mangoes sent by air they cost me 72.00 to get here Canada , When I went in to claim them it took around 3 hrs afterI filled out this un articulate paper work , When they handed them to me a 9 count case 6 of em had been cut into ,when I asked about this I was told " you never how pewople are going to smuggle stuff in " I thought to myself the only things CCustoms lets through are terrorist My Mangoes are innocent MAMMA !!!!

 

You should have longed it as on duty not driving, that's how I long any time spent in Customs on either side.
