[germanbmwfreak]

i know canada freight pays good but is it worth it as a o/o? what are pro's and con's in going to canada? i have heard talk about a 48' spread cant get into canada?

48' spread may be legal depending upon which province(s) you want to go into.

Where are you headed and what are you hauling.

Best thing if possible is to get your outbound load booked prior to heading into Canada. Some load brokers have no idea of the distances between some cities up here , sad to hear a US O/O being told to scoot over to Montreal from Toronto to grab a load that 350 miles hurts the $ income if not in the deal.

i am not a o/o yet but debating the routes to go. just curious about the canada loads. i do know you get held up at the border but was wondering if it is worth it or not.

Most times if you uses PARS it takes 10 minutes to cross over into Canada. Use PAPS on the way back, not too bad either. If you prepare it is not that big a deal. Almost like going into Wyoming.

I don't think they allow 10 foot spread axles anywhere west of ontario. But, i know they are allowed in ontario and quebec for sure.

Out west they like to run tridems. And regular tandems. I think they also run alot of b trains and multiaxle too. But not 10 foot spread tandems.

We can run anything we want in ontario pretty well. If it's legal somewhere in north america, usually it's legal in ontario too. We have alot of 6 axle trailers and michigan spread 4 axles too.

If your 10' is legal at the point of origin you can come into Alberta with it and out again. Just not point to point.
