Interesting as most of that trailer was built in Canada. Quebec
actually.

What I don't understand is that the CSA standard for trailers are
reciprocal to the UL/DOT standard - I know becasue I checked before I
sold you the rig.

The sad thing is that when I talked to the manufacturer up in Dudley,
he offered to give me a new load sticker with the CSA stamp for the
trailer, but he didn't think you would need it.

Sorry about that.



Just bad timing mostly. More & more people are flooding across the border
to pay less for vehicles, and either the gov't is overwhelmed, or under
pressure from Canadian distributors & dealers to slow the flow.
Last night, I saw an item on this problem. A Toronto area man had gone down
to the US to purchase a new mini-van, but because it didn't have the new
security add-ons required for Canada, he was told to either deport the van
or have it destroyed.
Here's an item in todays local paper..
