Niagara Falls and Ohio

Question... Since it's been almost 3 years since I've crossed at Niagara Falls... which bridge is fastest. I've crossed at Peace bridge at the south end, and used to cross at Detroit alot... but this upcoming week I've got to cross at Niagara and at the end of next week too.

which bridge is the best?

I'm not sure which city I'll be departing from?

Which way is the fastest return back to Cincinnati from Niagara Falls?

and also from Toronto?

Whats a good, clean 5th Wheel T/S to hit between Toronto and Niagara? I like the one up by Kingston, but I'm not goin' past Toronto on this run.

it's a shame I'm not deadheading past Seville, or I'd stop in and say hi to some people.

What do I need to beware of in OH and along those corridors since it's been awhile that I've run that part of the country... speed traps I know it's OH, the whole state is a speed trap... construction? anything new and exciting???
I'm fairly certain we're takin' I-90 over to NY and crossin' there, but not sure about return, may do the same on the return, may not.

Thanks... BigBusBob

Are you hauling a bus load of pax Bob; or in a commercial vehicle?
Niagara Falls - Lewiston / Queenston Bridge.
24 hour commercial bridge.
Whirlpool is limited to local traffic.
Rainbow is non-commercial.
Ontario Highway 405 leads to the Queen Elizabeth Way from Lewiston/ Queenston Bridge.

I think the HUSKY truckstop at Courtney Park Drive and Highway 410 is the cleanest in Mississauga. Others might disagree of course.

Drop me a private message for more details, directions etc.
I'll let someone else "talk" you to Buffalo.

Cheers!

I'm not carrying passengers? me? BigBusBob?
I'm an "Air-Conditioned Cattle Truck" Driver. Smile!
Yes Sir, I just tell my freight to Mooooove over. Ha, I crack me up!

Lewiston/Queenston bridge? is that the same as the Peace Bridge?

We used to cross at Buffalo, but that was always coming into the states after runnin' across Quebec & Ontario. I've not crossed "in" to Canada at Niagara Falls.

I'll drop you a line... thanks for the info though.

Lewiston is north of Niagra falls.
Pease Bridge is at Buffalo.

Hi
My favorite bridge is the peace bridge you pay coming in but its free coming back. Custom officers are alot better there than at ambassador or blue water. More experience less additude! You have constuction in ohio on I90 right around hwy11 but traffic flows through pretty good. Try the 5th wheel at casablanca rd on the QEW it right around the 75 klik post good salad bar and it's right on the lake and if you don't mind walking there is a tim hortons up the road you can drive up to it with a truck but I like walking along the lake. Hope that helps. Sure am glad you can't park that stinky trailor beside me LOL.
