    I’m curious what the trailer restrictions are other than some provinces not liking a spread axle trailer. Personally I take more issue with the 244” wheelbase. If you’re going to run cross border a lot you have to figure out the best setup to make it work.

    Why would anybody want to go to Mexico in a truck? Roads suck, police suck, what other reasons can I post. Most likely wind up in jail if you are lucky. Probably end up dead.

    Running cross-border you really need a SBFA to make 244 WB livable, especially deck work and by time you get a headache rack and other goodies.

    US has lots of restriction on Canadian Carriers. Cant move empty trailers, 1 trailer in, 1 trailer out. And lately they have been pulling us into customs and checking logs and manifests to make sure we are not moving mty trailers. your facts are wrong.

    You can't REPOSITION empty trailers. Drop one, grab an empty, you have to live load it. And I'm not crying, seems you are tho.

    You can run into Mexico I think you have to have dual registration I see some trucks around with a Mexican plate and a california plate on the front. I wouldn’t do it tho unless your Mexicano and spanish is your first language and you have some compadres down south to help you if you get in a jam
