    Would like to know how come canadian truckers can come to the usa and stay here hauling our loads picking up and delivering with in the usa and get away with it ? That' why we are going so far in the hole with the country economy . They come down here and unload their freight from their country then stay down here for weeks .Then go back to their country with our money and get their high rate of exchange while we lose the loads. My understanding ,that tehy bring their freight to the usa then reload and go back .But it not happening. THAT IS FACT...:biggrin_25516:

    Then REPORT them , CABOTAGE LAWS work on both sides of the BORDER.

    And that HIGH rate of EXCHANGE is a thing of the past :) Today $1.00 AMERICAN is worth a WHOPPING $1.0013 CANADIAN , see a lot of them getting rich on that .

    I'm not sure what agency enforces what. Does the state care if you are pulling an "intra" U.S. load and you are a Cnadian carrier ? Kinda' like the border patrol, a federal agency that could care less about the condition of your truck. Or, the cops in the coops, who could care less about your immigration status or if you are behind with your child support.

    The feds are actually in their office about 95 % of the time, making laws etc. I've never seen a Federal boy out on the highway cruising for violators, although I've heard they do come out during the June sweep every year and kind of supervise.

    You're right, and right now I don't see it as an issue.

    The problem will start when either US or Canadian money looses or gains a lot in value. Which ever country gets the crap end of the deal will start to complain and hell will begin to break loose.

    It's good for job creation now for both countries, but it could be a potential time bomb when things change in the future.

    Maybe we should just put the matches down now before someone gets burned eh?

    Mostly because people dont exercise their right to vote, and pay zero interest to politics until something they dont like has already happened.

    The goods must be entering or leaving the United States, and remain in the stream of international commerce.
    Cargo that has its origin and final destination within the United States generally moves in the stream of domestic, rather that international commerce. The mere fact that goods originate from a foreign source does not make such goods "foreign" for purposes of immigration laws. The goods must remain in the international stream of commerce - once they have come to rest they assume a domestic character.

    A driver bringing goods from Canada or Mexico may transport those goods to one or several locations in the United States, and may pick up goods from one or several U.S. locations for delivery to Canada or Mexico, but the driver may not load, haul, or deliver a cargo that is " both picked up and dropped off " at a destination within the United States.
