Yes ,the pilot project is 3 moths old or so. But Mexican trucks must return to Mexico after they delivery as do the Canadians. This guy wants to let Canadians trucks to do inter-stating. But my point is once we let the Canadians do this the Mexican trucks will follow.
There is always a little hidden message when a CEO gives a $peach.
And they always take care of number one.
TORONTO, Ont. -- Canadian carriers should be able to deliver from point-to-point within the US and vice-versa, Ray Kuntz, chairman of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) said this morning in kicking off the Ontario Trucking Association’s annual convention.
Kuntz emphasized he was not speaking on behalf of the ATA when he made the remark. However, he said permitting cabotage is the next logical step in improving efficiencies for carriers on both sides of the border.
“It won’t be popular but it’s time to start looking outside the box,” he told OTA delegates.
Kuntz, CEO of Montana-based Watkins and Shepard Trucking, said NAFTA has “changed how we live” with Canada/US surface trade skyrocketing from US$211 billion in 1993 to US$536 billion in 2006.
