    yeah i've seen people being refused entry to Canada just for having a DUI on that Border Guard TV show, so best go check with the Canadian authorities first before you try crossing it will save you alot of unwanted hassles.

    Sounds like you just need to attach your pars to your trip number...which is done by whoever made your aci lead sheet.

    Sounds like they're on top of it but usually the trucking company is responsible for preparing the Canadian E-manifest and send it to the driver before he gets to the border. The driver then presents the E-manifest cover page (lead sheet) to the customs officer.

    If you just showed up with a customs invoice and no E-manifest lead sheet then yeah that's not going to fly.

    They can see all your arrests. Canada and USA trade information with each other about people who cross or attempt to cross the border.

    For dui I don't believe there is any time limit on it. Also it doesn't matter what vehicle you are in, this is one of those things that falls under officer discretion.

    Yeah lead sheet should have all the info on it.
    Driver name
    Truck number and plate #
    Trailer number and plate #
    Trip number
    Pars number with entry code + customer in canada
    (Multiple if you have more than 1 shipment)

    That way you know the shipments that are attached to the trip number. It has to be to generate that lead sheet.
