This is ridiculous! Hopefully, they will have a driving coach to help read the road signs.

Here's a shot of one of the early trucks, heading to La Jolla, just north of San Diego, California.

No worry, there will be only one pervasive language.

... and they already know it fluently.

Carl Rove resigns, Tony Snow is resigning shortly. Could it be that W will not listen to the voice of the people, even when it is deafening? Just a thought.

THIS will tick me off every bit as much as the immigration debacle.

i always got a kick out of the mexican pickup trucks over loaded with used los angeles mattresses,

stacked 10 feet high, wobbling on the 405 freeway on the way to tj.

i never once saw a chp officer stop them.

....full access to U.S. roads will begin as soon as the department's inspector general certifies that safety and inspection plans and facilities are sufficient to ensure the Mexican trucks are at least as safe as U.S. trucks

The cargo will have RFID chips in them and they will match up with the manifest and get a BIG Green light to go. Problem is there will be other contraband as in people, drugs, etc that will be able to come in and won’t go back out.

Can’t hardly wait.

Observation:

Dec. 2005-August 2006 I was recalled by the company (I’m retired) to perform a task for them. This involved dealing with trucks, and truckers of course. I couldn’t help but notice the many Mexican Owner Operators coming and going at the facility I was operating in their BRAND NEW PETERBILTS.

Bear in mind these are people working equipment and load shuttle locally with Rail Containers as their loads, and are getting as little as $40.00 per move.

How does one pay for a ‘Pete’ at those rates, and how does one manage to keep them up, plus add on all the chrome and Silhouette Art, etc. that goes with that...er...um...territory?

They gotta have an Angel with Deeeeeeep Pockets backing them don’t they. Now....whom would that be?
