Been crossing the Canadian border for 30 years. NEVER in the history of crossing the border have I or anyone I know Had good luck With Livingston as a broker. They have a 90% failure rate for PARS not on file. Unfortunatly you don't get to choose who the reciving company uses as a broker. As far as permits. The Canadian CVSE has a great web site for those. If your hauling normal freight and your tractor trailer combo is under 75 feet bumper to bumper and NOT a spread axle trailer you should be ok. Spreads are rated different In each province. Such as BC only 20,000# on the spread portion of the trailer, AB only 20,000 # period so you need to read thier regs. All you need to have is The provinces added to your IFTA and get PARs from Canadian Border Services and thier going to E Manifest like the U.S. real soon. Of which you need if you ever intend to to haul out of Canada. UPS is who I use for U.S. E. Manifest. You also need a transponder from the U.S. Border Services or pay $10.75 each time you return to the U.S. Its around $250./ year for the trasponder. The Broker I<ve had the best luck with is PCB. They take care of just about all brokers after hours and are great to work with. But as I said thats the choice of the reciving company. Hope that helps. Have a great day

Got a web site for the transponder?
I have a 48' spread axle trailer and a 266" WB tractor. I know I need SOME special permits for SOME provinces.
I am still working that portion out-

OR you roll the dice and pay $10.75 to US Customs every time you enter the USA.

Most Customs officers ignore the fact that I don't have a transponder>I usually get caught 1 in 4 times and out of the times I get caught when I give them my VISA card the system is down another 1 in 4 times!

Buying the transponder is a waste of money for me!

It is for me as well.

The company I am leased to will reimburse the 10.75, but not the transponder.

Commercial Vehicle User Fee:

$100.00 - U.S. CBP

$105.00 Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)**

APHIS is responsible for protecting U.S. crops and livestock from pests and diseases and for monitoring and promoting wildlife management and animal welfare. The current proposal published in the Federal Register on February 26, 2007 indicates the removal of Canada's exemption from the APHIS Fee for Commercial Vehicles is scheduled for June 1, 2007.

Thats what $205 is for...

So I am still having issues here.
I spoke to a few Lawyers in Canada to help me with my permits and filings...

It seems my rig is too long for Quebec. I had thought I was grandfathered but the atty said that this ended in 2009.
The rig has a 265" wheelbase and a 48' long tractor.

I really wish I could get an honest answer as I have been told many things. I am inclined to believe the atty though.

What does 730 Permits have to say? Have you spoke with Nove Permits, they are probably the biggest permit ptovider in Quebec and would know IF you are legal or not. http://www.novapermits.com/site/en/index.html

You can always call Quebec and ask them directly. Remember that you need metric measurements when dealing with them.

I am going by what an attorney told me. 730 wasnt too solid on advice for me for the sizement of my rig.
I didnt feel real confident in the information I received. I may just need to call Quebec directly and ask.

I am 265" wheelbase....6.7 meters...
