Among other responsibilities, I am involved in shipping and receiving goods between 56 countries. Trust me on this one. When goods arrive into the USA, the are always consolidated into routes which service unique areas. This means that goods are off loaded at terminals and reloaded onto other trucks destined for particular destinations, just like tankers are off loaded at ports of entry. The “efficiency” argument is BS.

If efficiency is not improved, why would this agreement matter? My understanding is that Mexican drivers will not unload/load. Is it possible that unloading/loading is done because the law precludes Mexican drivers from continuing beyond 25 miles?
