Does it pay more when you have the ability to come and go across the borders? I'm Canadian by birth right, and US permanent resident. I was wondering about that after reading the other thread.

Most companies pay extra for a border crossing.

Not sure if the "per mile rate" goes up also (similar to NE or NYC "bonus rates").

Having a passport (book or passport card) - and a F.A.S.T. Card (Canadian Border expedited crossing card - more info here http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/prog/fast-expres/driv-chauff-eng.html ), gets you across a lot easier (regardless of country of citizenship - card goes both ways).

Being able to cross the border from here allows me to get paid more I dont know if it works in reverse but it would make sense that it does
