It's funny, but I always talk to my friends from Detroit, that Canadian drivers are all Indian now. It was interesting to watch how things changed within last 5 years. Caucasians just slowly disappeared.
Apparently Canada is still very relaxed about immigration, while the US got a lot tougher about it.

I was always under the impression that cabotage was based on citizenship of the driver and not where the trucking company was based.

On a rate related note: Just paid, yesterday, $4.68/mi on a team run from western MN down to the TX oil patch. Wooooo.

In my area it seems like the rates are coming down.
A broker called me the other day for a short load and he asked me what I wanted. I told him $950.
He was very polite and even sincere but he said we can only pay $500.
I have spoken to him before and I know he does move quite a few of those loads and I'm sure he's not kidding me he moves them at that price.
I just don't know who would fire their truck up to make $500 minus fuel, even if it's a short load.
Even if you were already in the city and it's a 10 mile load from where you are, even at that... okay I might do that for $500.
Yet I often see those kinds of loads for $200 or $250... Who the hell are these people that do that? SMH
Anyway...
Those loads that paid really well over the summer seem like they are becoming fewer and fewer.
I would have thought at this time of year things would be picking up towards Christmas?
As of today I'm still doing okay but I really have to work harder to find the loads.PPLC, Dale thompson and TallJoe Thank this. -

We ended up missing all the team loads on Thursday since we got unloaded too late, but even the solo loads were paying decent to get out. We ended up on a solo run from SD to AZ for $4600. The fun part is going to be figuring out where to deadhead from there to get a decent load.
PPLC Thanks this.
