Really??

Wouldn't the shipment have to go in bond to go through Maine, even though it was a toll highway?

Absolutely - and with all the work being done/that has been done on the PQ/NB routes it will be a tough sell. Even though Maine does allow tridems - I don't think their weight allowance is as high as we run in Canada.
