Canadian trucks hauling USA interstate

It’s based on the citizenship of the driver, not where the company is based. If I was a driver for a Canadian company legally I could haul loads point to point in the US but couldn’t haul point to point in Canada.

As far as how they get away with it, nobody cares as long as the freight shows up and it’s cheap. There was a member here who sold his equipment that used to run up and down I-5. He posted a while back that his old customer was using Canadian trucks to run their loads.

Hope this aggravates enough of us where it promotes a crackdown.
Definitely protest worthy imo.

US carriers illegally hiring Mexican drivers to haul loads, sources say

 

Bison bought HO Wolding here in Wisconsin , just buy our companies problem solved.

 

That doesn’t matter. If you’re not a citizen you can’t haul point to point in the other country.

 

A little light reading, cabotage rules in the USA.

Last time I checked, Canadians are Americans too!

 

Correct. It’s based on citizenship. But I have a feeling plenty of carriers just wing it and hope they don’t get caught, and honestly it’s doubtful a DOT cop would even know what to do. I follow a guy on social media and I know there’s been times he’s hauled loads point to point down here. One time I can remember he brought potatoes down to PA, then his load back to Canada was out of Nogales. I highly doubt he bounced from PA to Nogales.
