I'm just spitballing here, but probably the same way dispatch services are chasing direct freight, they watch a youtube video on how easy it is, then just do it. No one is enforcing anything except on carriers...Amen.

It's funny you say this because I randomly get invoices from Factoring Companies for a Quebec based broker that has almost the same name that we do here. It's always US-US shipments. My understanding always was that a US Broker can ship across the border or in the US, same as a Canadian broker can ship Canada-Canada or across the border. So seeing another broker do that, I have absolutely no idea what the actual rule is. It might actually come down to insurance. At one point we looked into doing a van load into northern Mexico but my insurnace policy wouldn't cover such a shipment. So it's possible that insurance is the limiting factor. It's almost certain that the broker you and I are referencing are operating outside of how they're supposed to be.

A pick and drop that are both on Canadian soil, without touching US soil in between, is illegal and not authorized under my authority. The same applies for carrier athorities. That's what I was taught anyway, years ago when I first began in this industry as a broker.
