Top 10 Transportation Questions to ask During the Presidential Debates

You sort of hit on my point.  We have no problem with Canadian trucks, yet Canada's regulation is largely less substantive than either the U.S. or México.  So, when people raise the issue of lax regulation on Mexican trucks and drivers, they're just spreading misinformation.  The pilot program for cross-border trucking a few years ago had a near-perfect safety record, but....as Einstein put it:

"If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts."

No disagreement. 

I don't know how strict they are in Canada regarding enforcement of commercial vehicle laws (and that includes weight enforcement, and I know Canadian provinces permit higher gross and gross combination weights that is allowed in most of the U.S.).  Depending on combination length and spacing of axles, Ontario allows GCW as high as 60,800 kg (134,000 pounds).
