Thanks for the post. I see the usual free-traitor chihuahua brigade has already arrived to harass and bite at everyone's ankles that wants to have a reasonable discourse on this subject. If you ignore their responses, watch and they'll start flinging insults between themselves. They want to harass and squelch any such discussion and debate about the subject, whether it's a valid, serious concern or not. They don't even want the issue discussed for fear it may impact their finances adversely. Their primary allegiance lies with the almighty dollar. This kind would do business with Iran, Syria, and North Korea if they thought there was a dollar profit to be gained.

I know plus they act like a bunch of kids at recess when you challenge them, here comes the name calling. Well, it's past my bedtime so I'm sure it is past theirs too so I'm off to the "Land of Nod" and continue the good fight. Either they cannot see what is going on or they are tied into this financially or otherwise.

He's on their side.

where there is no border, there is no country.

There is a shortage of 20,000 truck drivers in the US (probably as a result of the importation of cheap Chinese goods into the US, China has a 200 Billion Dollar a year trade surplus with the US but this is another story). This free border is a method of circumventing the laws of the US to allow inferior substandard Mexican trucks and drivers access into the US.

More evidence of the attempt to transform the US into a 3rd World country.

I should've figured that any mention of China would've brought an ankle-biting comment. But now that you've weighed in on the topic of foreigners leasing the roadway, perhaps you can fill us in on how the Chinese Army will move so freely over it . . . I mean, won't the Spaniards open fire?

[1rudeboy]

I'm not following you . . . there is a shortage of drivers in the U.S. because more imported goods are being shipped there?

[hedgetrimmer]

What does Independence day mean to you?

[1rudeboy]

Independence from the Alinksy Method.

[Mel Gibson]

No, imported goods from China, see China, has a $200 Billion Dollar per year surplus (trade deficit of US). Dumping Chinese goods in the US.

[1rudeboy]

Throwing our drivers out of work?

[kellynla]

Rick Roberts is talking about this very issue on his radio show NOW!

No, the increased importation of Chinese goods has created additional demands on the supply of transportation. There is currently a shortage of 20,000 drivers in the US.

Once you see the substandard Mexican trucks on the US highways you will finally begin to understand the problem once it affects you. Unfortunately, by that time it will be too late. Kinda of like what happpened to those people in the twin Towers in New York on Sept. 11, 2001.

Ignorance is bliss.

[1rudeboy]

Substandard meaning that they've passed all our inspections, but are Mexican?

[looscnnn]

Nah, they will be asked to stop doing it (they already are and have been for a long time). That way Central America, then South America will be added to the "American Union".

[Mel Gibson]

Thre has got to be a minefield in Iraq in which you can play.

[1rudeboy]

I was perfectly willing to let this thread die, since it was clear that you have no idea of what you are talking about . . . but in light of what has to be one of the lamest responses I have ever seen on FR, I'll deliver one more kick as you are down:

With today's regulatory action [March 14, 2002], Mexican carriers applying to operate anywhere in the United States will be required to have a distinctive USDOT number, have their vehicles pass a safety inspection, and undergo intensified safety monitoring during an 18-month provisional period, and provide supplemental safety certifications as part of the application process. Mexican commercial vehicles will be permitted to enter the United States only at commercial border crossings and only when a certified motor carrier safety inspector is on duty.

The regulations also will require Mexican carriers operating in the United States to have a drug and alcohol-testing program, a system of compliance with U.S. federal hours-of-service requirements, adequate data and safety management systems, and valid insurance with a U.S. registered insurance company. The carrier's ability to meet these requirements will be verified by a safety audit conducted by qualified U.S. inspectors prior to receiving provisional authority to operate to and from the U.S.

You really need to bone-up on this subject before shooting off. An added benefit would be that you would no longer feel the need to act like a child.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Oh how noble of you. The scheme or idea is to subvert those very rules. First of all, there is a shortage of 20,000 truck drivers (this fact is not debateable) and the need for drivers is very likely to increase into the future. In order to provide an increased number of goods in the future, the powers that be will allow substandard Mexican trucks and trailers access into the US. This is already happening but the floodgate has not been opened. I have personally transported a trailer (legally as far as I know) which originated south of the border. It never ceases to amaze me that many Americans don't want DDT in the US but are willing to accept grapes which have been sprayed with DDT in Mexico to be sold into the US. Out of Sight, out of mind, again.

How is it that a Mexican driver can obtain a CDL and still not speak or Habla Ingles? Yeah, I know it's not your problem, it hasn't affect you YET. I just personally witnessed this on Monday, July 3rd and there was nothing illegal, his truck was being given an annual safety inspection.

I still say it's too bad that you can't find a minefield to play in to play games.

I have driven over the road PUNK, and know what I am talking about.

[1rudeboy]

I have driven over the road PUNK, and know what I am talking about.

You are emoting. And if you know what you are talking about, then it shouldn't be too difficult to show us what U.S. regulations have been compromised and where. Otherwise, you are just another over the road driver talking out of his a++. And as we used to say at the steel company where I worked, "if you want to hear BS, call Dispatch."
