Need a clarification on Cabotage rule

I'll do that. Thanks.

 

thats to bad then--i had heard they were ok-owner a bit crazy but what one isnt
if kindersley bought them--you know you will see those trucks and trailers on the road for next 20 yrs

 

Zekria99.......I have done these moves and there are dozens of companies doing these moves everyday out of the southern ports.

I have been down there many times and even looked into this law,as I didn't want to risk losing my equipment/livelyhood. Even though most people could look at the law and decifer it there will be many that refute the fact that this is legal.

I am telling you that you can take the load. I wouldn't tell you this if I thought you could get into anykind of trouble at all.
If the load is destined for Mexico and the BOL supports this,you are good to go.

 

If he is caught and found to be in violation, then you will pay all the legal fees?

 

That's right. You are simply Interlining for Furtherance at that point.

 

It looks like the law is served even if a Mexican driver picks up the load as a US driver was involved in getting it to the point at which the Canadian driver picked it up. That's the trouble with the law. It looks so simple even I can understand it. But...

 

you are picking the load up in a free trade zone more than likely---a load that didnt originate in us

 

Then it would be in bond right across the country.

 

I used to run loads across multiple countries under TIR rules. That only satisfies customs. You would still have to conform to INS regulations or their equivalent. My loads were often cleared for delivery before I was cleared to go deliver them. That's not as drastic as it sounds. It simply means that I got my load cleared before I bought my visa, as the former was more difficult than the latter.
