In addition to obvious safety issues of lower standards, this just opens another floodgate for illegals and drug smugglers. Can anyone seriously believe that 100+ Mexican trucking companies will all be secure against smuggling of people and drugs when there is big money to be made in doing so????
It is simply appalling how the current administration continues to act like a bunch of Democrats, putting rhetoric and empty promises ahead of common sense and security!!
American truckers have to keep a log book, which can be inspected at any time by a police officer, logging how many hours they were behind the wheel over the last week.
Will Mexican truckers, by simply breaking the rules and thus having a cost advantage, be stopped by the cops and issued citations? And will those citations be paid?
BOHICA.
As long as the rules and regs and taxes, etc. for BOTH countries are the same, I don’t have a problem with this. It could open up lots of new markets for trucking in Mexico.
