Labor Day weekend is almost here! Sun, sand, and cervezas are calling your name. But before you pack up and head south of the border, please make sure your border crossing is as smooth as possible. Nobody wants to spend their holiday stuck in traffic.

Beat the Border Rush: Timing is Everything!

Border crossings get CRAZY busy on Labor Day weekend. Avoid the headache by crossing early in the morning or later in the evening when everyone else is chilling. Check those border wait times here before you go, and plan accordingly. Imagine cruising through the border while everyone else is still packing their sunscreen!
