I would call the montana customs office and ask them for some of the phone numbers for the brokers that have offices right there at the port.

using a broker that is right there at the port seems to be the way to go. They know the personalities of that crossing and what it takes to get the job done. hey, is your dealership ready for some 4 door 300's or a 4 door W-900?. There is no plastic in these trucks as you know is the case with the sportchassis

There is a dealer in calgary, alberta that advertizes a lot of Paccar trucks on truckpaper.com. I think he transports them through Montana as well. I've spoken to him and he seems like a nice guy who is experienced in the process and nuances.

once you understand how to do it then it just becomes a matter of paperwork being filled out right.

Thanks, I can't stock anything like that, only if pre-sold, give us a shot if you know anyone looking for quality and not Bayliner.

I would have to find out. I think the main body is the same as the w-900? the cab has to be metal and not fiberglass to make it work. The new cat is a 625hp but you can't get an ultrashift with that much power. the c-13 470 is the largest engine torque wise you can get. If you use a normal manual trans then you can use whatever you want
