What U.S. truckers in their right mind would WANT to transport goods to their destination in Mexico? It would take them YEARS to get to their drop-off point. First they would have to play dodge-em with all the 1950’s vintage cars that inhabit the roadways of Mexico. And all the break-downs associated with old cars. Or the farm vehicles that go 1 mile an hour on a good day. Plus another good chunk of Mexicans drive like they are drunk, which may very well be true. Erratic driving is the norm. Then of course, there will be the set-up robberies of our trucks, with the help of the Federales to make it easier, with phony traffic stops.

Meanwhile, back here in the good old USA, we will have Mexican drivers going to their destination points in our country who don’t know our highways, the rules of the road only a bit, who may imbibe drugs or drink on whim, who could be terrorists, delivering bomb payloads instead of goods, and taking who knows what drugs or contraband back and forth over the border. While putting U.S. truckers out of business. Such a good deal for us, si senor?

Mexico is a lawless POS narco-state. Trucks will be hijacked. Drivers will be terrorized. Mafias will demand protection money

Of course this NAFTA trucking agreement is a one way street. Mexican truckers are safe up here because we have a civilized nation. The reverse does not hold true

NAFTA includes this cross border trucking which was never implemented until now because Mexican truckers are not in compliance with our trucking regulations
