Minimax president Yves Poirier made a 900-km run this week. But it was on two wheels, not 18, and he was delivering inspiration – not freight. The Cornwall, Ont.-native and […]
My dad drives an 18 foot truck all over the country and I have some questions about how that particular industry works.
I heard up to 26 foot doesn’t require a CDL, so what’s the income potential there? He claims you can net up to $8000 a month as an owner operator who has your own truck but I’m skeptical. Currently he works for a company that provides the truck and covers all expenses and brings in about 40k per year working 3-4 weeks then taking 1.5 to 3 weeks off. He made about $4500 in…
Mexico was the top U.S. trade partner in March at $77.3 billion, a 13% year-over-year increase and its highest monthly total in six years.
For the first three months of 2025, trade between the U.S. and Mexico totaled $215 billion, an 8% year-over-year increase.
Canada ranked No. 2 for trade with the U.S. at $67.5 billion in March, while China was third at $51 billion.
Chicago O’Hare International Airport was the No. 1 international U.S. trade gateway in the month, totaling $48.5 billion, according to Census Bureau data analyzed by WorldCity.
Port Laredo, Texas, was the No. 3-ranked U.S. trade gateway in March, totaling $31.3 billion in two-way commerce, a 13% year-over-year increase.
Port Laredo’s top imports from Mexico into the U.S. included auto parts ($2.4 billion), computers ($2 billion), passenger vehicles ($1.63 billion) and heavy-duty trucks ($963 million).
Auto parts ($1.34 billion), gasoline ($400 million), electric storage batteries ($300 million) and diesel engines ($257 million) were the port’s top three exports to Mexico.
During March, 264,826 commercial trucks crossed through the Laredo port of entry, a 3.5% year-over-year increase. In April, commercial truck crossings through Laredo declined 4.7% to 254,060 vehicles.
As of Thursday, the Laredo market (OTMS.LRD) accounted for 0.67% of the total outbound truckload demand, an 8% week-over-week gain. However, it was much smaller than markets such as Kansas City, Missouri, and Dallas in the SONAR chart below.

I have a 2024 w900 with a cummins x15 565 hp engine with just over 235000 miles on it. So far I’ve had no issues whatsoever with anything engine related but recently it started acting like it was running regens more often, except I really don’t think it is doin a regen. I get the higher idle, the added boost, and it only does it when the engine is not under a load, (like when I’m waiting at a stop sign, after I park somewhere it will do it for 2 minutes or so but then will idle normally) the…

Hey guys I’m still in CDL school I have about 5 weeks left until I you know take my actual test which I’m not concerned about. My main concern is I really want to do flatbed or something along the lines that Maverick does. Because that’s such a great skill to have in my portfolio I know that. My main issue is I have a felony that’s about 4 years old it’s a domestic violence felony 4 and then I also have two obstruction charges from 2019 which is my least concern. I guess my question would be…
