Thanks Mike. I do plan to call US and Canada border stations and ask them specifically what I need.

Rank told me I should practice driving on the left before heading up there and that as soon as I cross the border to get over into the left lane as soon as possible. He's so helpful.

Oh, one other thing, Steve. When the speed limit says 100, they mean kph, not mph. 100 kph is 62 mph. :wink:

Also there are no spread axels allowed up there in some provinces and your wheel base can be an issue!!

The only reason I would go up there is if Rank puts together something for me so I'm sure he knows the rules.

I believe you can't go in with over 244 inch wheelbase. No spreads out west.

IIRC Steve's WB is 244?

Put some duct tape over the exhaust on that tractor or you can damage the turbo.

Don't worry about crossing. It's a piece of cake going North. The US dudes have God complexes but if they won't let you back in I'm sure you can get a job as a driver trainer.
:shock:

And don't forget your peso doesn't go as far as it used to up here.

To tell you the truth I have no idea what my wheelbase is. I've looked at all my documents and stickers in the past and can't find any info.

Rank, is it like daylight up there when it's night time in NH. If I remember correctly, when it's Sunday here it's Saturday there or is it Friday?

Gman, the last time I knew, FAST was around $400.00, the real nice thing about it is that it has all of your personal info on it, including your religious preference, fingerprints blood type, you get the idea. If some thing like 9/11 was to happen again, and the border was closed, then a FAST holder is supposed to be able to get back into the US, maybe walking and with out the truck, but none the less be back on US soil.

That is a pretty hefty fee, RJParker. I am not sure that I want all of my personal information being so available.
