Truckers need to band together and refuse to buy diesel from any truck stop that is caught pumping diesel into one of these Mex trucks.
Once word got out this was happening the mex trucks would end up empty on the roadside. Word travels fast among truckers...10-4, good buddies :-)
Owner operators have been step children in the trucking industry for years. They’re hurting and the states and feds don’t do a thing to help them. Now they see taxpayer money going to Mexican trucks, they have gotta be pi$$ed and rightly so.
Well unfortunately that wouldn’t work. Truckers buy fuel at the big name truck stops only. There are very few mom and pop truck stops left in America.
Just so you know truckers don’t call each other “good buddy.” A “good buddy” is CB slang for one who is of the gay persuasion. Most non truckers have received all the info they know about truckers from that ridiculous 70’s movie, “Smokey and the Bandit.” Trust me that movie and the real world of trucking aren’t even close.
My current truck was purchased in 04. Because of EPA rules it cost me an additional $5,000. No way the gov’t would give me any extra money for it. Now a days if your an American the gov’t just wants you to pay in so they can give your hard earned dollars to someone else. Just today I’ve read about the US giving money to Mexican truckers and millions going to Africans for college. I really can’t take this much longer.

I don’t know what the price of diesel is in Mexico right now, but normally it’s so damned cheap compared to the US they would be loading up to the brim before they cross the border. I doubt any of them are buying fuel here.
