    Seems like a no brainer to me and hardly a surprise. I see more and more Canadian carriers all over the US and figure they are doing the same thing.

    So they killed manufacturing, now they about to kill trucking, so what's left for like normal folks to do? Them politicians don't care about normal people. I see it every day.

    What does this greedy behavior from crooked trucking companies have to do with politicians?

    I just picked up as close to the border as you can get. Makes sense to me, anything along the border now? Might as well just move that line that we call the border up about 5 miles. Because anything within that range of it is just Mexico. Lol I mean literally it is Mexico. In my 20s and 30s I spent a lot of time traveling around Mexico so I know what I’m talking about.

    I've picked up a few onions right on the border. If I had a dog. I could literally let the dog give Mexico an impression.

    On another note.
    There are a few jobs Americans don't want. Who wants to be out in the hot summer sun building houses or concrete sidewalks. Even worse. Asphalt roads???????

    Of course they are. Why would anyone would think the Canadians are not violating the Cabotage laws more than the Mexican Fleets?!

    They create conditions that enable the megas to import cheap labor. I ask you sir, what if they allowed cheap foreign workers on work visas to enter the construction industry or the rest of manufacturing industry? Do you think that the unions would allow this? or pardon me, I meant politicians that sit in their pockets.
