Use the crossing, lane, weekday, departure time, and destination you would actually use. Verify eligibility and current operations with the official sources.
Log home departure, arrival at the line, exit from inspection, destination arrival, return trip, cash costs, and how you felt. Include both directions.
Count driving, border waiting, walking, transit, and transfers. Record how much time you could actually use. A short border wait can still mean a long commute.
Compare the ordinary trip with the difficult one. Test a different home location, mode, or departure time when practical. Bring your own numbers to the calculator.
The app shows wait reports and their sources. Your trip log helps you judge your own routine.
