Lots of used Canadian trucks on the local Ford lots

We've been browsing the local car lots looking for a used truck to replace the Dodge. Saturday and Sunday we looked at two different Ford lots in two different towns. Each has some 2014-2015 white F250 and F350 gas trucks with low miles. I did a car fax on the first one and it was from Canada (Fort McMurray, AB). I thought that was odd so I looked at the others and they are all from the same area. Why would a dealer in Southern Indiana be buying truck from Canada to sell here ?

Just know that even though they will have low mileage on them, those trucks were probably always running.
Nobody wants to get back into a cold truck, so they get left idling.
Maybe not such a big deal with a gasser, but diesel's sure don't like it.

Good exchange rates and oil services companies that are going broke with the price of oil. If they laid off the people, they don't need the trucks they drover either.

Probably bought them at auction. Work trucks from Fort Mac.
