Tri-National, Inc., stands out as a leading transportation provider under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Tri-National, Inc., remains dedicated to providing high-quality trucking logistics in travel to and from Canada.
When truck drivers from the United States cross into Canada, they must abide by all Canadian carrier rules. These rules are close to those set forth by regulatory agencies in the United States, but there are a few exceptions. Trailers with long wheelbases may require a permit to pull trailers of 53 feet, and the maximum length overall is approximately 76 feet or 23 meters. Areas of western Canada may discourage trucking by trucks with an axle spread of 10 feet 1 inch, though overall axle and weight limits are generally more relaxed in Canada. Canada also has more relaxed rules for hours of service. Drivers are limited to 13 hours of driving per day and a total of 14 hours of time on duty. After reaching this limit, drivers must take off at least eight hours. In Canada, each day must include 10 hours of off-duty time. Hour resets are required to be 36 hours, rather than the 34 required in the United States. The Canadian government has set forth exceptions, though US-based drivers most often can be sure of compliance if they abide by US rules.
