is $75 for crossing into Canada worth it?

Not to me.

 

150 maybe. Look we make our money running. anything that costs you time is costing you money in lost running time. border crossings can end up taking a lot of time depending on the situation and unless youre going to be a local guy on hourly pay doing this stuff every day Id avoid it period. But then that's just me. Most people avoid what I do like to plague. Try it and if you end up making better money than you can by just driving maybe itll work for you.

 

where the hell are you going that costs your daily advance in tolls?
is the $75 your referring to the cost of crossing the boarder or what your company pays to you as a bonus?
and there isnt any more scales then you might find in the USA to deter you from coming

American carriers are investing a huge amount in cross border freight. therefor their drivers that can go back and forth are valuable commodities

 

Doesn't cost money to come over the bridge by Detroit ?

 

those are both tolls that should be paied back by your carrier. i was reading it like there were so many tolls in canada like wtf. lol

$75 is more then what i get to come to the states so i would take it. crossing at the peace bridge then your comming into southern ontario and theres a TON of south bound freight. remember you are under the same inter-stateing rules that we are so once you deliver you must reload to the USA.

as far as the scales they dont present any extra hassle. study up on canada HOS it has its benefits.

side note:
double big macs avaible at mcdonals we wont stare at you like a deer in headlights, thx michigan.

 

$75 loaded & empty? Long haul or local? Does your carrier run good equipment? Are they on top of the ball when it comes to paperwork?

If they run long haul, good equipment, are quick with the manifests, & pay both empty & loaded I'd say it is worth it. But only if you go at least 6 times/year. Their rules are a little different so you need to keep them fresh... Otherwise probably not. I mean if you're crossing from Canada into Detroit plan on it taking at least an hour and, rarely, up to 6.
