Back in 2002 and 2003 I can say with a good of confidence they were looking for morons to to fine for whatever. This was post 9/11 and it was never an issue getting into Canada whether it was a pass through or delivery and pick up.What are they concerned about most at the border? Stolen goods, illegal people, drugs, not paying taxes.. which is it?
That's a very good question though. I remember one time the boarder was shut down into Canada from Port Huron, Mi because bails of marijuana were found in a trash truck in the x-ray machine. That was the only time in no less than 50 total crossings I was held up.
I always had steel or clay in a Roll-Tite and honestly never had a problem or issue with Canadian customs. 99% of the boarder issues with American drivers involve getting back into the states.
It's been a while but I'm guessing it's still about the same.
One question I have for the Canadian drivers..
I had a fast truck when I ran up there. Is it true your truck has to be governed at 65mph or less to run up there now? I don't remember the km conversion but I think it was like 110. Is that true?
