....Mexican driver gets out, grabs tool box and starts working on the damn thing.....

you're assuming that they even make it to the truck stop, it isn't just paper litter along the border highways & interstates. Especially between Nogales & Tucson.

I drove a semi for a major carrier for 2-1/2 years; they had a terminal (pickup point, load-swap point) on the north side of Laredo and I’d watch the Mexican drivers bring their loads in, slam them into a slot, slam onto another trailer and gallop off to Manana land at high speed. No, I don’t assume anything about Mexican trucks or drivers. Glad I don’t do that any more. There’s about a 60% turnover rate in the driver workforce in this country, IIRC, and the fact that a truck driver is the ONLY worker required to account for his time 24 hrs. a day is probably part of it.
