North Of The Border

Don't hear anyone talking about driving much in Canada and NOBODY has said anything about going to Alaska. I have to imagine that there is a lot of freight going north. Why doesn't anybody make those long runs?

The laws but there are some companies who go that far north but to go from the USA to Canada ya have to be off duty for 34 or 48 hrs before crossing the border as I understand it,Canada logs different from us and its a piano to decipher.

Our truck is to long....so we just do the lower 48...and we're happy

I don't ever want to touch Canada! Lol, the lower 48 are big enough for me.

Aw come on, eh! Where is your sense of adventure, eh?

When I get to go full time, I want the 48 AND Canada. Sure, there are some things that are going to be a pain, but that is with everything in life. Living in Michigan, I figure it is only natural that Canada is going to part of the situation. While the current company is only regional , I am looking at Roehl, H.O. Wolding and a couple of others who go north.

Now I may live to regret the above, but I want to experience as much of this world as I can before I leave it. Been to all 50 states and some 26 countries. Still have two continents to hit, too.

CRST no longer runs to Canada, or so we were told in orientation. I saw a forum thread in a truckers forum a while back, about people who drove through Canada to Alaska. I would love to make that trip!

I hate going to canada that being said most frieght comes to alaska by boat and in the circle all of it by plane or boat as there are towns with no roads leading outside town

canada requires border crossing which is a huge pain in the derriere. if i had a choice i would never do any runs into canada EVER. don't let that scare you off of it , I just keep getting routs on a certain road that is windy mountains at slow speed and stop lights at the top of about every hill and my gps thinks every single curve in canada is a "sharp" curve.

i took french decades ago so i am a little better off than some but montreal can be just as big a nightmare traffic-wise as any other big city and ottawa too ( has almost a million people )

I have been to Canada twice now. Once was a pass through from Niagra Falls to Detroit, but the other was a delivery from OH through Detroit delivering in Mississauga Ontario. The drive through was easy, but the delivery was a little bit of a pain, but I not that big of a deal, but in Ontario they all speak English. I don't know, but I didn't mind it
