The chance of customs approving your load and giving you clearance between Gary and Detroit are pretty slim. Now let's say if you were coming from further south, there is a decent chance that by the time you get to Monroe MI your load has cleared and the next step would be parking at a truck stop for a few minutes and having dispatch fax over your ACI, which is a simple piece of paper but it has the info customs needs and that would be the only piece of paper you hand over to customs at the border (along with your passport). They scan the barcode and do some keyboard tapping on their end, ask you a few simple questions, stamp it and send you on your way. This is assuming you're crossing with PARS. As far as driving in Canada and seeing new places, yes, it is fun![/QUOTE]
