re: #780 J.S.

In Alberta, back in 1993, the provincial government privatized the equivalent of the Department of Motor Vehicles. There is very, very little by way of any government oversight. This has led to a number of problems (including schemes which are, in fact, a danger to the public — especially when one has truck drivers not knowing how to drive big rigs, yet have a license to operate these vehicles.) The Edmonton Journal noted the following:

And they can enter the United States:

Immigration regulations and policies have long held that alien truck drivers may qualify for admission as B-1 visitors for business to pick up or deliver cargo traveling in the stream of international commerce….
Canadian citizens entering the United States as visitors for business do not require either a passport or a visa. However, each applicant for admission is required to satisfy the inspecting officer of his or her citizenship. An oral declaration may be accepted or the inspecting officer may require supporting documentation, for example, a birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or a passport (valid or expired). In addition, all travelers should carry some form of photo-identification.

Not good.
