    You know I have been thinking about this. If anyone see's a mexican truck driving erratic, speeding,swearving,(usually because they haven't had enough sleep), cutting in and out of traffic, smoking or making noise, squeeling brakes, unsafe equipment. Anyone can call 911 and report these trucks for safety reasons. Get plate number a discriptionof truck. I know we have had someone call on us once and we were pulled over because a headlight was out. The trooper let us go. He said someone called it in. We figured it was a compeditor company. This is common practice for trucks to be reported. The Mexican logo should be on the side of the truck door under DOT numbers or on the Plates. The plates, some will be registerd as U.S. companies and have U.S. Plates. If enough people keep a eye on these trucks hopefully it will cut down on the carnage.
