    Canada will consider 1 DUI permissible after 10yrs have elapsed.
    Canada will NOT consider 2 or more DUIs - ever, no matter the time elapsed.

    They feel that anyone can be rehabilited 1 time but not twice.

    Because our politicians have no spine or moral compass.

    We are the big bad ogres of the world remember.

    It is our DUTY to allow the competition to cross the border, and drive all of our work to their home countries.

    We must make amends to the world for our hard earned success.

    What does that even mean? That's how the economy works guy, the US produces product and other countries purchase it. Other countries produce product and the US purchases it. Are you saying products produced in the US should only be purchased and used by Americans? Really?

    The US has $1.3 trillion in exports so I guess you need other countries to buy your product, huh? Where else will that money come from?

    And what the hell does that have to do with a DWI?

    Its OK, bulliver. I understand that sarcasm isn't your strongest suit. But that is what it was, sarcasm.
    Playing on our being the worlds leading producer of over seas jobs.
    It was a statement that Canadians and Mexicans are crossing our borders and taking loads that American drivers should be getting.
    Because, our politicians have dictated that they be allowed to take loads that originate and terminate here in the states in order to get a load back to their home countries.
    Don't believe me, its in the FMCSR rule book.

    That is what I was saying.
    I have no problem with driver from either country coming here to retrieve loads that are staged at the border for them.
    I have a problem with them crossing into our country and moving loads that don't cross the border, but will get them to their next loads that do cross over. Canada has some of the strictest rules, that we in America do not also adopt.
    Instead we look at the truck, it looks good, go have fun driver.
