Get ready! Beginning September 1, hundreds, perhaps thousands of Mexican 18-wheelers will invade the highways of America in what is innocuously called "The Mexican Truck Demonstration Project".

Quote:
"FMCSA and DOT actions in pushing the Mexican truck demonstration project has been "reprehensible". The administration is determined to push the Mexican truck project down the throats of the American people and Congress". - Todd Spencer, executive vice president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers AssociationThis so-called "demonstration project" puts at risk every American who drives or rides on the highways, roads and streets of this country. Here are just a few of the potential problems I anticipate with having sub-standard Mexican trucks and foreign operators freely operating in the U.S. on America's highways:

1. unqualified, inexperienced foreign drivers, unfamiliar with U.S. highway laws & DOT regulations
2. poorly maintained, substandard (unsafe) Mexican trucks
3. increased danger resulting from foreign truckers unable to understand highway signs in English
4. low-paid, unskilled foreign truckers, unfairly competing against professional U.S. operators
5. easy to evade paying U.S. taxes, fees and fines
6. greater potential for illegal trafficking of drugs and illegal aliens
7. increased opportunity (bribes) for criminals, even terrorists to infiltrate into the U.S

Just like NAFTA was a bad idea, having Mexican trucks and foreign truck drivers entering the U.S. and
driving on America's highways is a bad idea for America, and not in the best interest of Americans.
