rank, I'm going to try to pm you later this evening, I have some questions about border crossing. Also, does Canada have a website for border crossing requirements for CMV's? Something like our FMCSA?
The thing to remember about getting a truck into Canada is that all the provinces have different DOT (in Ontario it's the MTO) rules. I only really kwow about Ontario.
-Truck wheelbase max is 244".
-Max overall length of truck and trailer including overhang is (going from memory here) 75'.
-no bridge law....more axles = more allowabe weight.
-HOS are 13 driving, 14 on duty, min 10 hours off per day (8 of which must be consecutive).
-Must have ON on your cab card otherwise you need a trip permit (that's standard stuff).
There are the customs laws also, but that is covered in Steve's link.
