In 2017, a group of trucking and logistics company owners met in Nogales, Arizona. They were worried because federal authorities had begun enforcing regulations that bar Mexican truck drivers with B-1 visas from hauling cargo within the U.S.
“Long story short, if we don’t fix this soon, 100 companies will close,” Jimmy Watson Jr. told Nogales International newspaper. The next year his father was arrested and charged with illegally employing drivers from Mexico.
This week’s episode of Long-Haul Crime Log investigates one of the most controversial issues in cross-border trucking: cabotage violations. In the U.S., these occur when truck drivers based in Mexico or Canada illegally transport domestic freight. Co-host and FreightWaves reporter Noi Mahoney digs into recent allegations that truckers from Mexico are doing illegal runs within the U.S, and why it may be hurting the industry on both sides of the border.
Fellow reporters Clarissa Hawes and Nate Tabak co-host the episode with Mahoney.
