    Hi everyone, I'm looking at purchasing a truck/trailer from Canada and would like to know if there are any brokers who can do the paperwork and also bring it into the USA.

    Truck/Trailer are located in Windsor ON and are going to Detroit MI

    Thanks

    Contact ups or one of the other brokers at the port. Shouldn’t be much of an issue. Can’t help on a company to bring it stateside though.

    I used:

    Rocky Mountain Registered Importers

    If the truck or trailer doesn’t have a US DOT sticker stating it’s Safe to use on US roadways you will have to “quarantine” it for 30 days for the bond to clear.

    Your best bet is to look on the registered import list and find a broker closer to you where they will store the truck for you.

    If it’s a legal truck then you can use any broker.

    Also, the company I used the first time to bring it down to the USA was Diamond Shuttle based out of Edmonton, AB

    My trailer does not say dot safety for US, It says Canada. Will they allow that in but has to sit for a bit? It's made in USA tho

    Here is a trailer I brought down 4 days ago.

    Take a look and see if your kind of says the same.

    This trailer was free to come down, no hold up.

    Actually, go take ( or get someone to ) a picture of your plate and post it here.

    I would also suggest you just go get it yourself, it will be much cheaper.

    Here is the list of brokers in MI

    Yeah, you’re SOL - you will need to have it held up for 30 days.

    You will also need a letter from the manufacturer stating it has no open recalls.

    See attached for what I’m referring to.

    I'll try giving them a call today for that recall letter. I hope things go smoothly. I'm getting charged 2600 usd to bring my truck and trailer

    Isn’t Detroit literally right across the river from Windsor?!

    Does that price include all the import paperwork and truck transport ?!
