Are Mexican and Canadian trucks allowed to operate in the United States?
Canadian trucks are allowed to deliver loads from Canada and pick up loads with a Canadian destination, but generally cannot pick up U.S. loads with a U.S. destination. At this time, Mexican trucks are restricted to border cities, but the U.S. government has announced its intentions to permit Mexican motor carriers the same access to the United States as Canadian motor carriers, provided they meet certain safety and insurance requirements. Because of legal challenges, these plans currently are on hold. At least initially, few Mexican motor carriers have applied for such operating authority.
