Scenerio (and just a scenerio/theory/throwing-idea-around/discussion)
Load from Waverly, NY to Wausau, WI. My chosen route is the obvious I-86/I-90-80/I-355/I-88/I-39...BUT
Would it be possible and legal to run this route? This is assuming I am 100% legal (permits, passport, etc...) to run through Canada...

You used to be able to do what they call "gateway" a ld. through Canada and bring it back to the states.
You used to have to put the ld. in what they call a transit bond. Then cancel it when you crossed back into the states.
I have not done that in a lot of years, so things could of changed since thengpsman and mjfreespirit Thank this. -
From my other thread about this.. Your carrier I believe has to be bonded

it's shorter staying on 80/90, with less hassle.
-
My understanding is no you cannot do that. Had a few loads where that would have benefitted me, but company said its not legal.
-
But don't believe everything your company tells you. -
i wouldn't want to go through the hassle of crossing 2 borders.
and doesn't the load have to have the proper documents to enter canada and back.
plus, do you even have your passport on board.Getsinyourblood and NavigatorWife Thank this. -
Should be possible, but likely too much hassle to be worth while, truck and carrier needs proper licence for ontario, and border paperwork could be a hassle, most canadian loads from ontario heading to western canada, still run through canada, since its not worth the hassles going through usa
-
And you also have to have HOS for Canada met before you go into Canada, ie 24 hr break within 14 days. Not worth the hassle I don't think myself.
