    I just got a PM from someone who will remain unknown. This is it. I would like your opinions on this.

    "are canadians supposed to post here? or even drive here for that matter.
    what no freight in Canada?":biggrin_25516:

    What do you all think? I'm curious. I've been driving for 39 years and have never questioned the rights of U.S. drivers to deliver and pickup loads in Canada, as long as it's not cabotage.

    Sounds like a coward to me. There's a lot of o/o on here not only from Canada but also western and eastern Europe, Austrailia, New Zealand.. Reminds me of one night I was trucking in Michigan and some yankee started ranting and raving on the cb when he saw my Tennessee plate - same deal, all mouth, no courage. Call them out on it... ...who is it?

    Why do people hate Canadians? You guys are one of the US's biggest trading partners and have a lot of the same crap that we put up with. You have every right to post here and drive here IMO but you can keep the ones with a towel for a hat.:biggrin_25525:

    Ignorance breeds ignorance... let's leave it at the counter at the T/A. We are "ALL" truck drivers that face the same crap from our govt. In fact Canadians have to put up with more crap then we do in the US, but we're catching up quickly.

    Well, I have never had a problem with U.S. drivers coming up here. In fact I have a few friends from Florida and Georgia who truck up this way and we sometimes can get together if things work out and we're all in town at once. That's rare but we have a ball when it happens. The only thing we argue about is The Gators, The Bulldogs and The Irish(my team).

    For the most part the drivers and O/Os from canada do not bother me. Just like US drivers theres good and bad.The ones that haul in the states that are not supposed to and for cheaper rates do bother me.
