Canadian Trucker working in the US.....?

You would have to go through immigration and be authorized to work here. An US Immigration attorney would be the way to go, IMO.

 

Go to the US Embassy in your area and ask for a US Work Visa...bring ID and a passport.

 

Sure there are rules and laws and whatnot, but no one is enforcing them. If you owned a truck, I would tell you to call Landstar...they have plenty of Canadian drivers driving back and forth in the US, and not just in and back to Canada.

 

Say it isn't so!!!!!

Did they learn that from those Mexican trucks?

 

The loophole they use is called the "Free Trade Zone." You've seen the sign up at shippers before.

 

Technically possible... but....
trucker not qualified for TN1 visa, you need H1B visa. But its very hard for employer to obtain it for you because of small quota.
You cannot receive H1B, your employer should get it for you. Employer should hire immigration lawyer and he can ask $10000 for it.

NO!!!! After it you can expect lots of stupid questions every time you cross US border.

What about scales? Texas DOT may not know that canadians cannot take interstate, but northern scales may know and call immigration and you will be banned to enter US and will drive trough northern ontario

 

i believe one scale master in South Dakota told me that the fine was $25 for a Canadian, plus a pinky slap on the wrist. It's the American driver that gets the heavy fines and banned.

 

Not the case. We are looked at as far as interstating closely. Had a friend have his truck seized for this, cost him $8k to get it back, and it was a load he was dispatched on. Up here, US drivers routinely interstate and Canadian officials look the other way.
