I DID IT-FECC Here I Come

Good luck and Congratulations.
Now don't forget to keep us updated on where you are, so we can stay off the sidewalks.

 

Way to go! Take your time, be safe, and have fun. The party has begun.

 

I hope you got your passport because you'll be offered a lot of Canada runs .

 

Check the Canadian forums for how different ports are . I always cross at Port Huron / Sarnia and never have problems . I always come back empty though . U.S. Customs are tougher than the Canadians .

 

Good Luck Teddy Bear and Keep us posted as I and probably others also look forward to your posts.

 

Congrats teddybear,way to go! Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Teddy bear, congrats!!! Hope overall the experience is good for you.

The Canadian trips aren't too bad. As RickG stated, getting back into your own country is more than getting into Canada. One tip, always make sure anyone looking into the cab of your truck, no matter what size, is neat in appearance. Nothing cluttered on the dash board. That applies to scales, if you ever cross them, also (your running in a van, correct?) . Trashy appearanve, you or the vehicle, is a flag to inspectors.

Good luck, and enjoy.

 

Also on Canadian crossings never take anyone's word paperwork has been faxed and processed by a Canadian broker . Get the broker's number and call yourself to verify . If possible give an ETA at the border least an hour earlier than you expect to arrive there . Some brokers wait until last minute to send papers to Canada Customs .
