I'm scheduled to haul a hazmat load from the US to Canada. Are there any specific rules that I need to know about Canada that differ from the US?.

Depends on the load and the requirements. Your average hazmat load, not really. Don’t need to stop at rail crossings like you do stateside.
-
It's basic flammable, nothing particularly nasty. Good to know about the railroad crossings. I haven't been to this customer yet, but other nonhazmat loads that I have hauled take me over rail tracks going across the trans canadian/20 in Quebec.
I can imagine the chaos I would cause coming to a full stop on a 62 MPH highway. -

I will check if it has signage saying it is exempt...assuming I can figure out the French.

Check online to see if there is any restrictions on where you are crossing.
Ambassador bridge is no hazmat.
There is one class that is restricted at Bluewater.
And I think you are supposed to notify the peace bridge about a hour before you cross. -
Thanks, it was a land crossing didn't see any restrictions posted at the crossing. Made it to the customer without issue, only one RR crossing on a side street which I stopped for, didn't check if it was exempt or not.
