Effective January 15, 2022, all travelers entering Canada, including truck drivers, must use ArriveCAN to provide mandatory travel information, including proof of vaccination. Submission of mandatory travel information can be done up to 72 hours before arriving in Canada. ArriveCAN is available as a free mobile app and can also be accessed via a web-based version at Canada.ca/ArriveCAN. Exempt travelers, such as truck drivers, can also save time by creating an reusable receipt in ArriveCAN. This allows them to submit their mandatory information once and create a single receipt that can be used each time they cross the border.
Why is it so much worse at truck stops here than in the U.S.? How many good truck stops are there in Canada? When I ask about good, I mean where can you find decent food, pumps that work, clean facilities and friendly service?

Trucking in Canada as been come a joke its a big race on the hwy tailgating being cut off pull out in front of you pass you on a off ramp getting fuel what a joke driver gets out of truck goes to the washroom beside his truck rude on the cell phones well fueling the truck never saw this bullshit 20 yrs ago on the road when backing into a spot go flying by you in the back big hurry
Look at petrocan
Fuel at truck stops you dont get points for fuel.
Gas station have diesel and give points pr liter. .
Big difference for the driver.
Husky is prepay only. You always fuel less then ful.
Go north and sometimes you have to buy fuel for cash. Or you run short.on trucks like 5 and 10 ton.
Petro closes at night. You dont even get a coffe..
THERE IS MOORE..
Western Canada is an absolute disgrace when it comes to rest areas for ALL. The trucks stops are few and far between and an absolute JOKE!! As a matter of fact I recently posted pictures on FB comparing rest areas in Wisconsin, Ontario & Saskatchewan. The picture of Saskatchewan was basically Two Flags and wide open spaces. NO washroom facilities of ANY kind and no fuel. I drive west in the US and enjoy the many rest stops/truck stops along the way and when I head back East I am in Canada and have to wait for each major City for a decent washroom, food & fuel. What gives?
I recently did a trip from Prince Rupert to Delta .then across to Kenora Ontario . This was my first trip past Alberta I was not impressed with the condition of the highway surface in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. As well as the rest stops were also no existent in those two provinces. This is the trans Canada highway I expected better . There was very little parking in the towns to get near a place to eat . I did end up getting into the Flying J in Winnipeg and was lucky to find a parking place .. this highway has plenty of room beside it to build rest areas seems trucks are forgotten even though most of the traffic on the highway was trucks.
Travel the Interstate highways and you will find a rest area every 45 miles. The most you travel is 1 hour without a rest area. The rest areas all have restroom and some even have showers. There is10 times the truck traffic in the USA so better truck stop is essential.
You are dead on with that. Irving owns several trucking companies of their own for one thing, also the founder K. C Irving, wanted rest stops/restaurants that were completely family/truck friendly and his goal was that no one would ever be far from a decent place to fuel up and/or eat. Unfortunately Mr Irving never made it to Western Canada. Another note. Generally speaking, Tim Hortons are easier to access in Atlantic Canada for trucks as well.
Yes you are right! I ran from BC to Newfoundland and the Maritime provinces have the best truck stops. The Irving Big Stops are full service truck stops with fuel, fresh hot food and clean hot showers. They need truck stops like Irving out west Husky is okay and the new Flying J travel center is good but the Irving Big Stop is the best in Canada.
Locally with absurd property taxes
Provincially & Federally with passive income per litres of fuel pumped then the new carbon tax; these hidden taxes kill investment no one in their right mind would open a gas bar; the return on investment is none existent and the capital needed to build is restrictive. Next to the government for retail taxes and operational taxes of payroll, HST, workers comp alone squeeze any operational margins; then comes the banks & credit card companies in fees and interest rates; leaving nothing the cover costs of assets being replaced after any corporate taxes to be paid to investors.
Some states government weight stations ( for example Kentucky) welcoming truckers with the Truckers Haven rest area. Where in Canada at those weight stations we find opposite. (Truckers hel) specially in Ontario.
In the USA, service is good because economy is open. In Canada too many hurdles, high taxes and bulshit cold, wrecking havoc on people and infrastructure. I think the six months of subzero temperatures is the single biggest reason I moved to the USA. I can just wear a tee and walk out the door. The requirements to live in this polar climate
a house, a car, food and energy are all expensive compared to US.
We spend no money on decent truck stops in Canada, Truck drivers are not appreciated in any shape or form in our wonderful country. And car drivers have no patience for a slow truck in front of them because Canadians are in too much of a hurry to get nowhere.
Canadian trucker drivers have always had it tough not enough Truck stops The reason is no one cares about the guys and girls that leave their families and drive all over getting the food and goods to the store for everyone to have And for this service you have to quite early to get a parking spot and hope you and your truck are safe This will never change in Canada .
