Hello .... im 25 years old and driving about a year now .....
i do about 2-3 trips a week .... from Montreal Canada , to maryland or Pa or Nj ...
The reason im writing this thread is the following..
Everytime i pass the champlain boarder (montreal into Ny) i goes very smooth ......... except for when i get one officer in particular.
He 1st gave me a hard time when i took my fiance with me and she wasnt on the manifest , she had her passport , no criminal record ...clean as a whistle ..... other officers never gave me a hard time when i bring her along and shes not on the manifest
Everytime i get him at the booth , he has a toughf guy tone , always sends me into x-ray (x-ray at champlain takes 10-15min a truck , and sometimes theres 6-7 trucks in line........
now sunday when i got to the booth he was very rude , agressive , ...... all his anger incresed because i didnt know what the 1041-A was on my manifest,he kept sighing and nodding his head , and then he asked me what the company was going to do with the empty cartons i was delivering to PA , n i told him i dont know i just deliver and leave , i dont work at the factory , thats when he got super agressive and made me pull up n open my doors
when he was done i closed my doors and stood at the stairs near his booth while he got my paper work and liscence , when he came out i was kinda infront of him and he yelled at me ..MOVE!!!!......
Thats when i got agressive with him and asked him why he always has a poor attitude with me and always gives me a hard time when ive done nothing but be respectfull everytime i pass .... he said i have a attitude problem and im rude with my answer of not working at the factory , i told him hes just a young punk power tripping , n he threatened to turn me back to canada , so i told him i dont give a #### , ill go back home , n he just gave me my paper work and said next time if i have that attitude hes turning me back to canada.... so i just drove off into the vacis line up (5 trucks behind)
what i want to know is , if the next time i get him , hes agressive , is it against my favour to go into the customs office and speak to his supervisor and explain the situation , would it make my crossing into u.s harder???
your input is greatly wanted

I feel your pain.. sort of.
I used to haul sodium cyanide to the gold mines in the NW and during the fall, we would hit Hedley BC twice a week, or more, to get them stocked up for the winter. Well, heading north was always uneventful, but it almost never failed that, heading south, if a certain U.S. Customs agent was working, he would check me and my paperwork very thoroughly. It would take forever, compared to the other agents. He never searched the truck, though, just ran me, myself through the check (whatever check it was). And he would do it even if he'd just seen me a couple days prior. Difference is, he was never rude or acted tough, like your guy, just very short and no personality.
The kicker?
His last name was Castro.
