Trade across the border will not change. I believe he issue here is the stopping of a temporary pilot program that allowed some Mexican trucking companies to deliver their loads to the final destination anywhere inside the U.S..

Exactly. We have longstanding laws against "cabotage". In fact they cover all cargo transport. A foreign ship can't deliver on the east coast, pick up a load and deliver on the west coast. Cabotage laws in Canada are very much the same.

The Mexican trucks under the pilot program were not allowed to deliver into the U.S., then pickup and deliver to another U.S. destination, either.
