Mexican trucking group urges US to clarify B-1 visa revocations
Mexican trucking leaders are asking U.S. officials to establish uniform cabotage enforcement standards after estimating that thousands of cross-border drivers have lost their B-1 visas. The post Mexican trucking group urges US to clarify B-1 visa revocations appeared first on FreightWaves .
The Mexican trucking industry is urging the United States to clarify the rules surrounding B-1 visa revocations, as inconsistent interpretations of cabotage rules could result in experienced drivers being removed from cross-border operations. This could lead to a reduction in available capacity and create uncertainty for manufacturers, carriers, and shippers who depend on predictable U.S.-Mexico freight flows.
Ismael Reyes de la Rosa, a representative of the National Chamber of Freight Transportation (CANACAR) in Mexicali, Mexico, stated that Mexican carriers want U.S. Customs and Border Protection to define what constitutes an irregularity involving cabotage and to explain the process used when revoking a driver’s visa. Mexicans trucking leaders have been in meetings with CBP but have not seen any changes in enforcement procedures despite complaints.
Between 150 and 200 drivers in the Mexicali region have had their visas revoked in 2026, and roughly 25,000 visas have been revoked across the northern U.S. border.
