Crossing at nogales this morning

With a 1 ton, I wll see if I have hassles. Sal & Barb Contreras had hassles over wiehgt with theri 3/4 ton at Laredo a few days ago. They finally got the permit, but it was a hassle. I am waiting ofr a report form a freind who crossed there yesterday with a 1 ton, but he got his on line ahead of time. I do have a government weigh scale certificate of my truck weight (curb weight which is under 7710 or 3500 Kg) which says "curb weight = GVW when weighed" I will pull out if needed.

  • Unless you are crossing Nogales close to Xmas there are no long lines. You can get your vehicle permit and your FMM in under 30 minutes. Never any problems.

  • well no hassle of weight but they gave me one over my ATV. In BC you get a permanent license and they did not like the fact my papers had no expiry date. I had to hang around until 9 AM when the aduana showed up. He approved it. Its always something.
