Re: Canada Trucks in US?

Lots of Canadian trucks in the US, Back in the early 80's, I had a gig for a while working for Ford. I shuttled trucks between dealers. Iff'n you wanted a truck and for whatever reason the local dealer did not have what you wanted, and you did not want to wait for the factory order, the dealer would look at the inventories of other dealers. If they found one, they struck a deal between dealers they usually involved trading a car or another truck for the one you wanted. They called me and I would drive the vehicle to be traded to the dealer that had the truck and drive the wanted truck back. I went all over the Northeast and into Canada Frequently bringing back trucks.

Drove a lot fun vehicles. Great gig for a 20 year old.
