Do not try to cross the border with an empty trailer , personal experience your results may vary , good luck ---Trevor

Its not much fun crossing with a loaded trailer either. Whatever you do if you bring it back through Canada. Make sure you have a title or its next to impossible to get a car in.

Eric,

This may sound like a joke, but it's not. I know you have dogs. The US will not let you back in with dog food. They took it away from a friend of mine and threw it in the dumpster; treated him like a criminal.

As for the joke, I was going to say, "Ya cain't get theya from heya", but I'm not from Maine!

Never had an issue as long as you have documents with where your from to where your going. The Border Patrol can check the time your in Canada and if its close to travel time typically no issue. Be sure to inform them that your passing through to Detroit / Port Huron and know the route.

Make sure you leave any FIREARMS home ! Makes no difference if you have a Carry Permit from your state !...John

I'm going to suggest you look at I-84 to I-81 to I-80. Stay on I-80 at least to Toledo, go north on 23. Depending on the time of day when you hit Ann Arbor you can stay on 23 north to I-96, or go west on I-94 to I-69 then north to Lansing. You could even stay on I-80/90 to I-69 then go north to Lansing.
My credentials? I've lived in Michigan 25 years now, travel to PA/NJ or other NE points 2 or 3 times a year. I-80 is a straighter road with easier grades and less traffic than I-90.

I have to dispute that a bit, Marty. I-80 in PA is down one hill and up the next, versus I-90 in NY, which has one hard pull about 30 miles west of Albany, and a similar down hill about 20 miles past that. Other than that, it is quite flat. The drawbacks to I-90 are the tolls and lake-effect snow on the western end of NY. I would agree that it might be worth running the extra miles to avoid dealing with the border.

Got back a couple of hours ago. Left yesterday am 3.20 arrived via 90 route(didn't go through canada) at 4:15 PM 835 miles. Ohio has some nice roads and maybe the nicest rest area on the turnpike I have seen! Stayed the night in Cleveland then straight back.

A 100% drama free drive.

Ironically driving to Michigan seemed easier much than going to Atco or Englishtown!
