Runs to Canada, Pros and Cons?

You must have been arrested in the past. I heard they do that to criminals. They dont even Xray my truck and wave me on through. They did Xray me the first two times, but never again.

 

That's very astute.

Yes I'm a criminal just like you. You're just somebody who hasn't been caught. You're still a criminal, no better than many of those who've been branded for life.

 

Canadian laws and border control is different from the US, they did what they did because of either your record or your attitude but I am surprised you didn't get the same reception or worst when you hit the US border because they do tell the US guys who they check and why.

One thing I'm glad of is all the people who don't want to go to Canada, because it is more work for those who can go there. It is easy once you understand things, like don't tell them stupid things or just do what you are told. If you have a DUI, don't bother or other criminal past, they consider a DUI a felony there.

 

hmm, which Canada is that? The Canada I live in I often drive a couple hours and then come to another small City like Hearst.

I cross the border a couple times a week. Crossing is usually quick and painless but you never know when you get pulled in for a random inspection. Holiday travellers or big events can cause any crossing to be slow at times also. So usually quick but always be prepared for delays.

If running to Canada make sure you know what your cell phone plan covers.

If coming often it's a good idea to carry both currencies.

Depending where you run truck stops can be almost non existent.

Make sure you know the HOS. For the most part if you're legal in the US you're legal in Canada but there are exceptions.

 

I like CA runs because they pay much more than local runs.
