Except for frost laws,they allow more weight than we do (37k on tandems). And the cat scales in Canada will print in pounds if you ask. but:
12,000 lb = 5443 kg
34,000 lb = 15422 kg
More important: 13'6" = 4.114 meters
is $75 for crossing into Canada worth it?

$75 is more than worth it to go to Canada. I get $15 and go every chance I get.
Jabber1990 Thanks this. -
but thanks so much! -
That toll bridge doesn't take EZ pass, or you don't have it? For a truck, 37 dollars for a toll that you already know about isn't a big deal. Footing the bill for a trip down 90, never, lol.

24000kg per tridem (52,900 lb) -
according to some of the dispatchers nobody has a Prepass
According to the other dispatchers I have a Prepass (apparently)
According to the rest in order to have EzPass I must buy my own and pray that I get reimbursed for it
According to some in Permits nobody has a prepass
According to others in Permits they don't have one for me (whatever that means)
According to a qualcomm Message the PrePass doesn't work in Canada to include toll bridges
long story short I don't have a PrePass
how else do you get to Buffalo without taking 90? -
It takes me 5 to 15 minutes to clear customs. So $75? Hell yeah if the carrier pays all tolls and if they have their customs clearance ducks in a row.Skydivedavec Thanks this. -
You can Google conversion charts.

For me, that two times I went to canada, I got just about $130. Each trip, plus any out of pocket was reimbursed

tandems are 18000 kg if less then 72 inch spread, 19100 kg over 72 inch spread in ontario, so most US spec trucks are good for around 90 000 lbs
