The regulations for crossing into the States are getting stricter each day. I know there was talk about having a passport to get into the States. And now, commerical shipments HAVE to be set up electronically before the truck gets to the border. They were issuing fines for not having them set up before the trucker gets there, something like 5 grand for the first infraction. They've since done away with that, but they're turning away drivers if they don't have their shipment in the system.
That makes it hard for small businesses that need to bring something down to the states. They have to declare it as commerical goods, and than they need to go through the trouble of getting a broker, getting barcodes to be able to put their shipment into customs computer shipments.
And Canada is going to be like this as well. Canada customs was supposed to implement this in spring of this year, but have postponed it until next fall. Thank goodness. What a mess this is going to be.

That explains why the bridge at Sarnia hasn't been so backed up since Christmas. Until tonight, that is. It is Monday of the US Memorial Day weekend. The trucks are backed up about 20 km past the airport on the 402. And that has been ALL DAY! Insane!
