Is that true? A Canadian truck wouldn’t be allowed to haul cargo between Detroit and Buffalo, for example?

  Yes, carbotage laws apply to road and air traffic as well, albeit not as strict as the Jones Act. A Canadian truck based in Windsor (driven by a driver with valid work visa) is allowed to pick up goods in Detroit before going to Buffalo, because this leg of the trip is considered incidental to an internatonal route. However if the truck were to make multiple return trips between Detroit and Buffalo it would not be legal

    Interesting. Is there something that would stop them from making a sham delivery in Windsor each time through to skirt the law?
