I see Canadian registered trucks down here in So Cal all the time.

I used to live 100 miles south of Billings and drove truck up there for awhile, It's nothing to see Canadian trucks around. The first thing I guessed was falling alseep with the cruise control on as well, or the guy was just stupid. It's amazing some of things you can see and hear.

Syscom3, I'm on that site as well with the same user name, stop by and say hi sometime!

I don't think the accident occured as stated if it did the top back of the cab would have hit the box on the way up and there is little damage to the front end where it would have hit the incline or indications of the resulting dirt . I'm aware trucks travel across the border living at the 2 nd busiest border crossing I see more then my share . I just don't believe it occured as stated
