FYI this starts on jan 1st, with a bunch of other changes.

Some of those items are needed as we speak though.

I have been running across Canada for 7 yrs now and been thru more than my share of cvsa checks and never been asked for any of those.

I've been running across Canada on occasion over the last few months. Never have been asked for my log book eventhough they have thrown the xray machine at the trailer.

IMHO Canada and the US need to get on the same general page where HOS and log requirements are concerned.

This keeps up and it is going to be hard to find drivers willing to cross the border. Enough BS the way it is, especially trying to get back to your home country.
