I think their requirement won't last long with all the barriers for CDL holders down South..
It was a story about one old men visiting a Zoo in one of the lesser developed country and was surprised reading on the board by the lion's cage that this predator can consume 50 kg of meat daily.
The old men see Zoo attendant near by and ask if it's true about 50 kgs..
And attendant told him, yes it's true but he never saw anyone gave him that much..
Have a great long weekend!

LOL, they can take their chances with a CDL driver. Look at what they get! At least a driver with a B1 visa was scrutinized at the border and is in the US legally. The driver of the FL-illegal-u-turn entered the US illegally and then got 2 CDLs, one in California and one in Washington.
It's a position that Averitt has dug their heels in on. That is, until they find that they are brokering an international load out that gets double brokered. The position they're taking would be prudent for all Intra-US point to points but when it comes to international loads, they may find it tough. Like @Rob says, how many US carriers do you see up here anyway? I'm sure they didn't think about Canadian loads but the huge number of US carriers at the southern border with foreign drivers on B1 visas who run point to point in the US.

Not really sure how a broker would verify the request above - I am not sharing my driver's passport info with them - it is just a CYA with no teeth essentially
Also what does 'do you have a CDL driver' mean - every driver even the ones on B1/B2 visa has a CDL - I feel they don;t know what they are actually asking

CDL means they are looking for a USA-licensed driver only. I'm not sure how long they can keep this up. The last time I saw a US-based company truck in Canada was... Sorry, I've never seen one

Reading the article it seems they are under the impression we all take a load to say Buffalo then go run around down in US for a month or so then find a load home. I used to know a couple Landstar guys that did just that but even they have put a complete stop to it. If you get caught now you are no longer welcome as a BCO. Called them a couple times over teh years for a load never could make one work so doubting it will have any effect.
Rob is right, US guys think that all cross-border drivers move 1 load into the US and then stay there for months at a time.
To be fair, it was accurate for awhile there, paper logs and a fake BOL. Got you through pretty much any inspection.
Those days are long dead on the Canada side. I have heard it is still pretty rampant for Mexico, no proof or anything but it would make sense. You could make a weeks worth pay on 1 load US domestically.
