That's just GREAT...

Will these drivers have American insurance? Hope so, we'll never be able to collect from a Mexican company. Will these drivers be required to read our road signs? The signs are in English. Oh no, they'll want bilingual signs. Will these drivers have to take driving tests issued by America to be sure they understand the rules of our roads? NAAAHHH. Anything for Vicente. In addition to the regular cargo, also look forward to loads of drugs and illegal aliens. Just what we need.

This is a job for, 'Mr. Barf', of Homeland Security!

Has Bush lost his freakin' mind?! I live in Southern California and these guys driving these trucks are a menace. There have been many accidents here involving these guys.

You guys are in for a real treat. I live near a port and the agressive driving of truck drivers is unbelievable ( Mexican and American). Not all (but most) act like they own the highway. CD

The companies will undergo security inspections and will be required to get insurance and make maintenance arrangements with U.S. firms. Their drivers will also be subjected to periodic drug and alocohol testing.

They can already go a couple of miles inside the country. I do hope that all trucks, regardless of country, are inspected for safety and illegals.

My law: If a Mexican truck is the cause of an accident/smuggles drugs/smuggles illegals, driver goes to jail for vehicular manslaughter/criminal negligence, company pays all expenses involved + $50,000 minimum fine(collected by tarrif/seizure of goods from company), Mexico pays for jailed driver and any others we wish to detain. Same for any countries trucks.

LOL, just so long as the big players get a piece of the action...vive el Presidente!

Another step to AMerica becoming Mexico with lowered standards. Mexico is a sewer, so why are we trying to be like them by allowing them to be us??

[oceanperch]

Now I wonder if shippers will use Mexican ports then truck goods up?

Will this affect business at American ports?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Trucking, yet another American industry on the way out. Oh well some say slaveryis not all that bad once one gets used to it!

[Ditter]

I am a huge Bush family fan but this is not a good thing. I have driven in Mexico & its scarey!

[csvset]

Mexican trucks? Man, I thought it read Mexican tricks. Well, we Americans will be screwed none the less.
