Thread: Mexican truck deal is back

It never went away, it was just delayed. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is taking public comments until 28 June.

In the meantime, Mexican trucks continue to be inspected and authorized to operate throughout the USA.

The deal is that 100 Mexican truck companies will soon be allowed to make deliveries and pickups for Mexico in the USA as part of NAFTA and a supposed "pilot program." We all know that the "pilot program" will be declared a success and that eventually more Mexican truck companies will be allowed complete access. This will destroy our trucking industry by outsourcing, and thousands of layoffs of American truckers will occur.

Apparently some rich corporate types bought Mexican truck companies some years ago with all this in mind.

I don't have an exact link, was hoping someone might have the time to explore the site via the link I posted http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/cross-border/cross-border.htm. I hope we can find a way to submit public comments. I would think the Teamsters and truckers themselves might know. I bet they discuss it on the Midnight Trucking show, but I'm never up that late to listen http://www.midnighttrucking.com/

I don't think anyone can say for sure at this point. It was temporarily stalled via the Iraq War spending bill. The only date certain so far appears to be the close of public comments on 28 June, but if you find out more, please let us know asap.

Duh
