Can a US carrier pull a Canadian licensed trailer?

Again, maybe a little clearer this time, unless one has dual citizenship or is NAI, a foreign national must have "work status" (such as a TN visa) to work in and get paid in a foreign country by a foreign based company.......If you are Canadian, work in Canada and get paid in Canadian dollars by a US funded company (E1 visa) that's based in Canada that's ok.....What's not legal is for you, as a Canadian, to work in the US and get paid in US dollars by a US company without US work status.....Canadian carriers/drivers cannot deliver Canadian goods to FL, then reload in GA, deliver in Albany, NY and then deadhead back to Montreal ....What they can do is reload in GA and deliver in Canada...Now we all know that there are carriers that are based in both the US & CA, but the same work rules still apply...

No one law "trumps" the other either, if you break the law, you break the law, now the penalties for doing so are likely harsher for one over the other, but I digress....

 

Agree, but most won't do incidental/re-positioning moves within Canada, and incidental/re-positioning move does not mean once a load is dropped, the truck can pick up and deliver to another address that is reasonably out of route to return or make an additional pickup for a return.

Am I right?

 

I may be missing something here, but where the trailer is registered shouldn't matter. All of the other items mentioned, where the shipment originated, regulations about a US company hauling intra Canada( prohibited) etc are valid questions. We haul loaded trailers registered in Canada pointto point in the US all the time. We also haul them in and out of Canada, but cannot haul a loaded or empty trailer no matter where it is registered from one Canada point to another.

 

The trailer has to have an annual inspection even if it isn't registered, as in a new trailer leaving the plant on its way to the first customer. Registration locations are meaningless. Look at how many trailers have Maine license plates that will never go there.
