I cross the border once a week in my pick up.
And usually every weekend during the summer In my HDT.
For the most part , at the larger ports when you have the HDT I use the commercial lane. Tell them first thing you are not commercial. Most of them respect this.
The car lanes/ rv lanes are not designed to deal with a truck this tall.
We all know that the truck is not commercial, but it looks like a commercial truck.
That’s why this happens , and no one looks at the side of the truck for the not for hire.
And trust me when the DOT stops you he doesn’t care how it’s licensed or tagged.
I got stopped in a truck 40MPH. And it was a 55MPH road. I was going 55.
End result was a speeding ticket.
His quote was. I don’t care how it’s licensed, you’re a truck and you know your a truck.
Trip to the court house. Judge asked for a pic of the set up. His reply was. That’s a truck, not a motor home. And I had to pay the ticket.
Something to keep in mind in our travels.
Also here in Manitoba. We are also bound by road restrictions in the spring and must follow them.
