Okay, I’m bunkered down in the northern hinterlands, far from the battle in the Southwest.

What are we looking at in permitting Mexican trucks onto American roads?

Are the horror stories I read about Mexican truckers true?

From Mexico, Buenos Dias. Trucking has improved in Mexico over the years, and many successful truckers take great pride in their rigs, and many turnpikes here in Mexico display a large assortment of trucks. Steady there on your trigger finger, they are just men/women trying to eek out a living in a very competitive global world market. I remember going to Belgium and seeing the French trucks, German trucks, Swiss trucks all going up and down their highways. Hope to see some of the nicer truckers here in Mexico leaving their cargo, and getting some REAL Mexican food.

As a matter of fact the stories are very true if you are talking about the conditions of equipment running the roads currently in Mexico, and the laws governing drivers and sleep time etc.

More to say, but have to get offline now.

The drivers in Mexico are pretty bad. Not Africa bad, not China bad, but much more aggressive than anywhere in the US i’ve been. And that includes New Jersey!
