    I don't believe they are using CDRP anymore. In 2003 I spent 6 months and made a 720 mile round trip to get fingerprinted and photographed. Finally got it and the first time I showed it at the border they laughed and said we're not using these anymore.

    An application to Fastpass would tell you if you are going to have problems.

    Hmmmmm, Interesting, you would think updating the website might help us.


    If I get the chance tomorrow, I will call the consulate in Dallas.

    I've never been to Canada & never really had a reason to go, so I never attempted. I'm talking about with the truck. Currently it is registered for Canada thru the fleet I'm leased to.

    I may have an opportunity to become a little more specialized.... But I will have to make runs into Canada. I was wondering if they had a website database for the naughty people.... That way I could look to see if my name is on it.

    Just mosey on up to the border. They'll either let you in or they won't. Just don't give 'em your real name!:biggrin_2559:

    Redd you will need either a fast card or a valid passport--and actually that is to get back in the US----i feel sorry for US drivers as it seems harder for them to get back home than it is for canadian drivers to get it--(think it has to do with proving you are a us citizen)
    you can apply for a fast card online----and you have to have a pretty clean background for that,dui"s are frowned on for getting into canada
    i think you can also get a waiver as well
    and i just bet you want to get those juicy mercer loads going from texas up in to alberta right?
