Has Anyone Heard of Companies that Want Transcontinental Drivers?

You have a death wish?

“Between 2015 and the mid-way point of 2022, Mexico recorded 61,806 violent truck cargo robberies. The official statistics likely significantly undercount the true incidence of violent truck cargo robberies in Mexico. According to government figures, Mexico recorded 3717 truck hijackings during the first half of 2022, up 4.9% from the 3543 recorded in the first six months of 2021. In 2022, the frequency with which violence is used during truck hijackings has increased.”

Cargo Truck Hijacking Is A Serious Problem In Mexico

 

Darien Gap, it's on Wikipedia.

 

I don't think that trucks travel that much even between the smaller central American countries. It's probably easier to put it on a ship. I've driven a lot in Costa Rica, and you rarely see trucks from other countries.

 

There are that run all 3...but most do it by either interlining or at least swapping drivers
Canadians into US the US drivers south to Border and Mexican employees on south
There are a couple of (nitwit)
Canadian megas the do it seemlessly
The 2 that come to mind are

You seem well educated in the matter, and I don’t mean to derail this thread but I heard something and thought I’d ask you. Is it true if a US truck goes in to Canada their next load has to be back to the US?

 

It’s based on the citizenship of the driver, it doesn’t matter where the truck is based. A US driver can’t haul a load between two points in Canada, same with Canadians not being able to haul loads within the US.

 

I think Schneider hauled loads into Mexico. Idk if they still do. And like another driver pointed out, can't get from the US to South America.

 

Swift is pretty established in Mexico, and they go to Canada as well.

 

Yes, you are correct. If a Canadian truck brings freight into the US, it is only allowed to take freight back to Canada. It cannot bring freight into the US and then go get more freight in the US to deliver to another US location. I believe the same applies for US companies operating in Canada. The legal term is Cabotage, rhymes with sabotage.
