Border
US border will remain closed again
Forum Discussion
Good morning all:
...on the topic of "how do transport companies transport your RV from Canada into the US"....my understanding is thus:
....either the Canadian owner of the RV drives the rig to the shipping company's facility for loading onto some genre of "carrier" (see Moisheh's post), or, the Canadian RV owner contracts an RV shipping company with bonded drivers....the bonded driver(s) will literally drive your rig into the US to a destination very close across the border (a large or small airport capable of receiving inbound passenger aircraft from Canada).
If you have to deliver your rig to a shipping company, you obviously will need a second vehicle to get home afterward, and to drive yourself to the airport for the quick flight into the US (or a relative or friend can drive you).
According to some sources I read, the shipping company will give you a list of items in advance that are not allowed to accompany your rig into the US (like booze, some foods, etc).
One Quebec RV shipping company will line up your shipped RVs along the airport tarmac, ready for you to jump into when you get off the small hopper aircraft (a 15 minute flight to Plattsburgh, NY's airport). The aircraft are usually chartered by the shipping company, and fly out of a small airport on the south shore near Montreal (St Hubert Airport). The aircraft I saw looked like a single prop 8 seater.
As far as having a US national come across into Canada to drive your rig across into the US....it appears that anyone can do this. According to the US CBP article entitled: Taking - bringing a car - vehicle into or out of the U.S. that belongs to a friend, relative, rental company here-->
