I drove for a company that would send trailers in to mexico. We’d drop the “good” trailer at the boarder station where the contents would be transfered to the “mexico bound” company trailers where mexican tractors would pull them in to mexico.
When I asked why in the world do you go through all the trouble?
Dock master said simple. Send a good trailer over there with good tires, you’ll never see it again!
I started to look at the mexican trucks, and sure enough, they ALL had trailer tires on them. Tractor trailer trucks have 3 types of tires. Steer tires, drive tires, and trailer tires.
Mexico trucks will ruin american trucking.
“Mexico trucks will ruin american trucking.”
Absolutely it will. I’ve got two friends who were truckers (retired now) who are very upset over this. They are convinced it will severely damage, if not kill, American trucking.
