Canada for Swift

1. Passport. ( actually need it to get back into U.S.)

 

2. no felonies

 

I never cross the border with a truck, only my car, so I will let others answer that question

 

You just need to go apply at the Post Office and wait for your passport. Immigration (which I visited in Windsor once) will send you back over the bridge for felonies, or DUI. They stamped my paper and welcomed me to Canada. Customs is most concerned with cigs, booze et al. It's just a lot of paperwork and waiting in line. That said I like running up to Ontario & Québec. Hope to go to the western and Maritime provinces at some point. Hth.

 

Thats cool..I already have my passport and no felonies..I also would like to drive up there at some point..preferably in the summer though..lol

 

Yes. A TSA background check is part of the process, same as it is for a hazmat endorsement. Your previous Navy clearance will not help--TSA is a law enforcement and intelligence agency; they trust nobody but themselves.

 

All you need is a passport or passport card. If you don't intend to travel by air, you can get a passport card instead of a regular passport (passport card is cheaper).
If you have specific questions about driving in Canada, let me know. I have travelled extensively in Canada during my time at Swift.

 

does swift pay extra for runs to CANADA for company drivers
