Crossing the Canadian Border

Posted by Billy NY on September 21, 2005 at 04:44:56 from (64.12.117.7):

I bought a nice clean old '64 F-600 with an Obeco grain dump body, from a dealer in Sebewaing Michigan and by looking at the map, driving from Troy, New York, the shortest route is going through Canada, first crossing over north of Niagara Falls from 190 to 405, Queenston-Lewiston bridge, through Canada ending up on 402 by Sarnia / Port Huron, to cross over on to 69. I will drive a small car on the trip out, and then load the car on to the F-600 and make the trip in reverse. Anyone done this route recently ? Few questions:

1.) What still works as ID at the border, I'm U.S. resident have a Class A CDL license, and birth certificate, S.S. card and the usual back-up, no Passport according to what I read on the Customs & immigration website, that should be sufficient, any tips greatly appreciated

2.) When returning, the F-600 will probably have AG plates or Historical plates or whatever works here in NY, but does this route prohibit trucks this size for any reason.

3.) The alternative is to head south further and go through Ohio, increasing the distance and time of the trip, have heard of construction delays on this route, the guy at the dealer said this would be be better on the way back, than going back through Canada, anyone know why that is ?

I'll contact the Immigration/Customs office and see what they say, but anyone who has done this recently may know better.

Thanks Again !
