US- Canada border crossing at Niagra Falls

What are the doc's? Are you carrying a load, or is this a new truck you're delivering. If any of those doc's are from a broker, give them a call. Are any of these a Canada Customs Invoice? It will say just that at the top of the page.

I've bobtailed and gone across empty a number of times with no paper work going into Ca. But since you are delivering a truck, I don't really know the drill, I'd have to see the doc's before I could give much more info.

 

Who is your customs broker? They will have the answer. FOR SURE.

 

Oh, it's only being delivered to a crew in your own company? If that's all, I'd think proof of ownership, proof of insurance, would be all you'd need. But don't take that as etched in stone. I've never done something like that.
Please let us know how it works out. What time in AM will you know about the doc's?

 

He may not have a broker, due to everything being internal to his company, At least that's what I've gathered. I wish I could see the doc's.
But ya, if there is a broker, they should help him out.

 

I wonder how things turned out?

 

Old Border joke.... if you've heard it already shaddup an don't spoil it for the new guys.

A new US customs guy shows up at his first day on the job. His first customer is an old Italian guy pushing a wheelbarrow full of sand. Being new on the job he does a very thorough inspection during which the old guy answers him politely but with a very sneaky like grin. Unable to find anything atall the agent passes the old guy along and goes back inside. Everyone is smiling and he's told "That's old Guido. He goes through here every day without fail just like you saw him. We all think he's up to something but none of us can figure out what."

The agent takes this as a personal challenge. For years he intercepts the old man and his wheelbarrow full of sand and for years comes up empty.
Finally one day the old man doesn't show up and since the old man has become kind of their personal icon inquiries are made. The word comes that old Guido is on his death bed and not expected to last the day.

Our hero decides to go see his "old friend". Sure enough, there's the old man teetering on death's doorstep. He sits down beside the old man, takes his hand and says softly "Guido you old dog, I know you've been pulling the wool over my eyes all these years. You've got no reason to hide anything now. How about telling me what the heck you've been smuggling all this time?".

Old Guido smiles and becons the agent closer. Then with his last gasp he whispers into the agent's ear.......



"Wheelbarrows, you stupid s--t!!!!!"

 

worked for sperry rail service for 18 months and took truck number 853 across the border at either rouses point new york state or lake champlain new york state. paperwork was done at the office in danbury then sent to the hotel on thursday or friday so i could cross on saturday. it was a fairly simple process but the brokers always had a problem with the license plate number not being on the paperwork.

 

I went to Canada once. These guys did everything but a body cavity search and I wasn't too sure that wasn't on the agenda.

The only advice I can give is to try to avoid the big border crossings and go for the smaller ones.
