I don't know any who don't go to Canada. If YOU don't want to go to Canada, just tell the company you sign with, or refuse the load. I don
t believe anyone can "make" you go.

All-types does not do canada, but if you sign with them you'll go broke quickly and hate me for mentioning their name.

Panther will sign you but it will cost you 2 cents a mile (.75)

Why don't you want to go to canada?

I don't go because they want 1000 bucks for a permit. I stole 10 dollars worth of gas when I was 18.. It's a felony up there. It was 13 years ago.

The lawyer panther told me to tall. She is in Canada. I guess it did sound like Canada it's self wanted the money. Sorry about that.

However, if a country is going to make me pay a lawyer for a permit to haul freight in to their country because I drove off with 10 dollars worth of gas 13 years ago.. I'm not going there.

Seems expensive, but that's a lawyer.
There are other services who can assist you, I don't know their rates but they would undoubtedly be lower.
The only fee CANADA itself wants would be a small administration fee.
It is the same for a Canadian who has a criminal record. The USA doe not allow a Canadian to enter without a waiver.
Sorry for your bad luck.

I don't understand your point about not being "worth the paperwork".
Do you actually have any idea what paperwork is involved or are you going by hearsay from others?
Does PII pay an EXTRA 25.00 to cross the border; which would be on top of the run's revenue?
I believe that unless you can't go to Canada due to old criminal convictions that the carrier would expect that you do go. You have to be able to take a run when offered; where offered and by refusing to go to Canada(or NYC for that matter) you would be restricting your revenue.
Also, why would a company even want to sign a driver that won't handle a load offer for frivolous reasons?
