Clearances do not get "obtained" by appling or filing for them - they come with the "load"
i.e. - you have hazmat
you broker a military load
you apply to get USMLSC clearance - and after a few loads you will get a prferential carrier number (kinda like an internal ID number)...
but there is NO endorsement on your license - or "card" you carry that indicates your clearance level
and NO - prior military service means nothing in these matters. -
You could get a TWIC card...Flash it around..Hey just watch out I'm a Transportation worker!! takes a while to get...

I been told you need a passport to enter into Canada after June 1, 2009.
-
that went into effect about a year ago...
you can either use a passport BOOK - or a North A. passport CARD - the card is only valid in canada / us / mexico and caribean... -
they tell me i'l need a passport to cross the border "next time" every time i cross into canada, i go a couple times a month no passport but they always let me across( i always just show my dl and birth certificate). it also seems to be a little easier to get across and back in the the us depending on where you cross. Going in in detroit/windsor is easy coming out in detroit is a pain. crossing into canada at buffalo ny is a little more strict, coming to the us at buffalo is easy. coming out of canada at champlain,ny is my favorite, goin into canada at champlain wasn't too bad but been searched there a couple times. goin into canada in vermont not too bad never came out of canada into vermont. there is a crossing into canada in maine i forget the highway but its a very small crossing i got searched there goin in big time got a little nervous here. never crossed back to the us at this crossing

After June 1st you will need the passport or a FAST card if you want to get back into the U.S. They've extended the date a couple of times but June 1 2009 is definite.
Not sure but I think you'd get into Canada no problem, you just wouldn't get back into the states. Don't even think about leaving the U.S. if you don't have a passport and won't be back before June 1. -
