Did anyone notice the rule that if you PU freight for delivery to Canada that load must be prearranged . That rule is broken all the time. I delivered a load to Maine. Waited 48hours for a reload. So was that illegal. Most of the time my reloads are not pre arranged.

"2. Repositioning of Empty Vehicles. The movement of empty vehicles between two
points in the U.S. is not considered adomestic move. The U.S. Customs nolonger
defines an empty vehicle asAmerchandise@ and, therefore, therepositioning of empty
vehicles does not involve thetransportation of merchandise. Canadian carriers are
allowed to reposition empty vehicleswithin the U.S."
6. Examples of Movements Not Permitted by Canadian-based Drivers.
Pick up a shipment at one U.S. location for delivery to another U.S. location
Reposition an empty trailer between twopoints in the U.S. when the driver did not
either enter with or depart with that trailer.
So it says I CAN reposition an mty trailer... then it says I CAN'T? which is correct? -

Just to revisit this... I'm back to running the US And my company wanted me to relocate 3 trailers tonight and tomorrow, then grab one more empty and move it to another spot and switch for a LOADED trailer going back to Canada.
I refused. I WILL do the one empty and switch on Monday. But it's time to look for different decals for my truck.BigHossVolvo, Canadianhauler21 and Phantom Trucker Thank this. -
It definitely is 100% illegal however... -
