Foreign workers are undercutting workers with "cabotage"?

The video will make you chuckle man. It's that same narrative that causes all the fear mongering and drives up rage so that support can be maintained for the current leaders. I'll check out this link though.

 

To your point about actual data of this happening....Spears uses the words...."We believe........" lol

 

Basically all I ever read was speculation. I’m sure it’s happening but on what scale is what I’d like to know. Surely there’s a tally somewhere of actual violations..one would think.

 

If everyone keeps looking for “thems” they won’t have time or interest for the primary source of financial woes. It’s like a 3 card Monty game, people don’t realize everyone is part of the game until you are out of money. It’s a lot easier to blame everyone else for screw ups than a hard look in the mirror. Pissing and moaning is considered work for too many, it doesn’t pay worth a #### though

 

Exactly right. Even if the cabotage was happening, I have a hard time believing that it is so much of it going on that drivers can't make money.

 

There’s a right way and a wrong way to do everything. It’s the doing it the wrong way that hurts American drivers and companies in the long run….

 

I don't know what the talk is about "foreigner drivers" like Africans, but this is about Mexican/Canadian licensed drivers moving loads internal to the US. By law they can only take loads that cross the boarder.

Canadian drivers definitely do it and I've witnessed it in person.

 

Gosh some of yall??? Its illegal to.bring a load into the US and then pick up loads and deliver them within the US for weeks at a time, then decide to finally return to your country with a load. Its ILLEGAL
And if you dont think this is driving down rates you got your head in the sand. Hopefully it will get better with new enforcement.

 

Who is actually looking for the violations?

I've never crossed a border in the truck, so I don't know who is looking for what - but I doubt border patrol is checking a driver's logs for cabotage violations.
