Canadian equivalent to DOT number/MC NUmber

Never saw the old thread im new to this so just want to make sure im doing everything right.

We are a carrier and im just trying to get us set up to start hauling into canada. We use flatbed trailers and are based out of washington state. The provinces we will be hauling to are british columbia, alberta and saskatchewan. my trucks are registered already for them and i have the emanifest set up

 

Ok, then BC will be your "home province" as viewed by our government for authority purposes.

Need to get a NSC certificate from BC.

This certificate, once you have it in hand, is authority good for all of Canada, as long as you have this and each province you will be in on your cab card you are good to go.

As far as crossing the border, you have your PARS setup and ACI for bringing loads into Canada and are familiar with the process? Going to USA is PAPS and ACE. I send my paperwork directly to the brokers as far as PARS and PAPS goes, but I am not familiar with the process of putting that into ACI/ACE format ... I pay a service to do that for me.

Also if you are doing flatbed I'd think you likely have spread axle trailers and the weight limits are very different in BC/AB/SK ... max 9100 kg or 20,000 pounds TOTAL if it is a spread ...

 

Got the PARS stickers and got the emanifest set up. i think my boss was planning on sending the drivers back home empty so all i need to do is get that certificate and i should be good? thank you so much!

 

Yeah .. And there's one other thing for BC .. Insurance liability certificate I think it's called ... Your insurance provider I think sends them a letter stating yes you are insured, something to that affect ...

 

Actually, you need to have a CVOR number on the truck as well.

 

rong.
Cvor does not need to be displayed as a decal on exterior of vehicle. Just need to carry a copy of the certificate in the permit book.

 

And one more thing about the province called Bring Cash, you are required to get a CVI every 6 months.

 

Don’t forget about the us customs transponder fee for your trucks heading home.
