    I've never driven in the NWT, So I'm not certain, but if its anything like the Yukon ( also non IFTA) They will charge you a fuel bond and prolly make you buy a permit. I looked it up a while back and don't recall the exact cost but do remember its pretty cheap.

    They have a permit I heard for super singles that you can get and you will need to learn how to do the paperwork going in and out of canada, easy stuff but it can hold you at the border for hours if not done right. PARS going into canada and PAPS for going into us with load

    Last I knew you could use the customs brokers PARS numbers if you didn't have your own. Up to 5 times per year. This is as recent as of a year ago, so it may have changed since.

    I believe this is still correct but hes looking at running up there a lot so he will need both and need to figure out how the paperwork works with the brokers so he can get across without delay. I have been stuck a few times going in and coming out and know what a pita it can be.

    Keep the permit and fill out the back side of it to claim a rebate in the NWT or Yukon.

    Alberta (and BC, I think) allows up to 15,400 kg (33,951 lbs) on tandems with wide-base singles (min. tire width 445 mm) by permit (duals are allowed 17,000 kg or 37,478 lbs).
