If you would have gone down to Exit 92 on the Trans Canada Hwy. You would have probably been through the border about 3- 3 1/2hrs less than what you waited at the so called "Truck" crossing(although trucks can go down at either crossing). The Sumas/Huntingdon Border Crossing is a better way for trucks to go especially if you are empty. You would go through Sumas and then through Bellingham to get back on the I-5. I hope you got some Tim Hortons coffee, that's the Canadian staple and if Canadians could we'd change our flag that holds a maple leaf on it to a Tim Hortons coffee cup

I'll get one of those Fast Track thingies if I ever want to come up here again. They have no idea where the other 2 trucks before me are and they left 4 days before me. I found out how much the customer paid for shipping on 3,200 miles...................$11,500

Tim Hortons makes a good cup of coffee. I don't think you'd be able to convince me to change my mind. It's just a Canadian pride thing.

I think if I make the crossing again I'll plan to go over around 3am like I did this time since there wasn't anyone around. I'll do the same coming back.
