Requirements for hauling thru Canada

We’re looking at taking a step deck load up to Alaska and I really wanna make sure we know what we’re getting into. I have everything for running interstate in US but no Canadian numbers or anything. Do we need to get that or is USDOT and MC numbers enough? No drops or pickups in Canada, just going through. It would also be going thru Northwest Territories and Yukon. Are those any different than like Saskatchewan or Alberta?

As long as you run the area in between, it is no different than running the US as long as you follow the rules. I had the name of a company who would set me up. I talked with them and It was not expensive or complicated and I would do it if I was a one man operation, but it is not worth with for 5 trucks and only 1 driver with a passport.

If you have some sort of contact with regular weekly loads in and out, then it is worth it. To have it so you can grab spot market freight doesn't seem worth it to me either. But the way the OP was talking, he had specific destinations in mind.
