Why don't you want to go to Canada?

I've been across the border many times. I've only had a problem once and that was because I put the wrong trailer # on my paperwork. I've gone through VACIS (x-ray) a few times with no problems. I've crossed at just about every border crossing between Champlain NY and Detroit MI. I've played 20 Questions with the Customs Officers and answered their questions politely.

I've never encountered rude people (outside of Customs). Most people are pretty nice to you when they find out you're American and in Quebec the security I've talked to at deliveries have been incredibly polite. You don't find that too often down in the US.

For me I enjoy the opportunity to visit another country, see how things are similar to the US, see how things are different. Read the local newspaper to find out what issues they are having. Try new foods. See new sights.

So I'm not here to criticize your decision, I'm just curious what your personal reasons are for refusing to go to Canada.

 

Too #### cold...

 

I go to Sorel Quebec twice a week its fine once you get used to the french road signs.

 

Cause "they" talk funny? Seriously,I would go,but ol'Canada holds 2 dui's against me still.......................,32 years old.

#### shame,I hear the have some kick-### brewski there.

 

1. they wont let you bring in potatoes from the US BUT YOU CAN #### WELL BET YOU CAN BUY IDAHO POTATOES THERE
2. Their bait is crazy expensive
3.Awe heck I love canada nothing better than some little hottie out mowing the grass without a shirt on. On the side of the highway no lessAhhhh canada and fishing

 

Gets that warm there?

 

In june no less

 

It's not the country, its the fact the planners leave me up there for up to 3 days looking for something, or to fix their screwups. I swear, sometimes they make the planet of the apes look like Harvard...

 

i'ld get busted bring back for real Cuban Cigars.. cant go to Canada and not pick up some lol

 

I was offered a load to BC a few weeks ago and to Winnipeg a little while ago, however I talked to the Canada coordinator at my terminal about going up there with my dog, he said can't do it. So I turn down those loads. I wouldn't mind going, but like the other guy said, I worry about them getting me a load back down.

The coordinator dude processes the FAST applications for the new drivers coming into orientation. I never got my FAST card but I do have a passport and TWIC.
