MEXICALI – While trucking groups in the United States and Mexico decry a pilot program opening the border to long-haul operators, Rafael GodÃ*nez Sandoval is getting ready to roll.

Inside GodÃ*nez's small operations center in the heart of Mexicali's industrial district, a trailer packed with tightly wrapped pallets of plastic fruit baskets manufactured in central Mexico is set for delivery to a grower in Northern California.

what competition. AFter they are here a while they will take American truckers jobs because they will work for much less money. I never believed that money was the root of all evil until the last several years. May their sould burn in hell for the betrayal of millions of people. Don't the manufacturers understand that if we have no jobs we will have no money to buy their goods? I shudder to think of our future and that of our children and grandchildren.

Politics and money. Power is what is ruining our country.

You are absolutely right! If this continues, the trucking industry will suffer along with other industries that have been infested by cheap labor. Our government won't be satisfied until every decent-paying job has been transformed into slave labor.

Money isn't the root of all evil. However, the "love of" money is. Sadly, we are now in the midst of unprecedented evil in this country. If not curtailed, it will surely lead to our destruction.

I shiver just thinking of the number of drunk truck drivers that will be sailing down our highways, unchecked.

We all know that the inspections and attention to this matter is temporary. It makes me weep that the majority of Americans, our corrupt regime masquerading as government along with the media have the attention span of teensy flies.
