Mexican truckers claim unfair treatment
Mexican truckers claim unfair treatment
10/5/07
Quote:
Drivers representing the top Mexican trucking association parked their trucks Oct. 4 on the Mexican side of the Matamoros-Brownsville border to protest the cross-border trucking program.

Parked along the curbs near the entrance to the Veterans International Bridge, the drivers demanded equal treatment for Mexican and American truckers, according to the Spanish-language website of the trucking federation CANACAR, www.canacar.com.mx.

American truckers get preferential treatment in Mexico, while Mexican truckers on the U.S. side of the border get tickets for no reason at all, said CANACAR representative Alfredo Lartigue.

“We are protesting against the demonstration project that allows only 100 Mexican carriers to get into the U.S., and 100 from the U.S. to get into Mexico, because the conditions for these two groups are totally different,” Lartigue said.

So they're complaining that they're getting the raw end of the stick from law enforcement. Sounds to me like they're learning how to be American truck drivers.

Sounds to me like they are complaining more about the size of the limitations than the enforcement. They say there is a disproportionate allocation between the number of drivers in both countries and the company sizes.

American truckers get killed and kidnapped by the mafia on the Mexican side while Mexican truckers steal our jobs with unsafe rigs and driving skills. Yeah. Sounds like Mexican truckers are getting it bad all right. There's a reason why many carriers won't deliver to Mexico anymore.

GOOD!!
I say, "Stay parked in Mexico!" Here in Colorado, Mexicans get away with everything. Hit and run, free healthcare, MURDER, etc. Colorado is a self-proclaimed "Safe-Haven". So I don't know what they are complaining about. I have no pity for them. OK, I feel better now.

I also live in Colorado (been here 27 years) and I'd be willing to tell you to your face that barely any of what you've just said is true. Where do you get your "facts"? Or do ya just make 'em up?

What!? Lay off the cocaine.
No reason at all huh?
Not for being out of hours?
Low air in tires?
Trailers that dogleg?
Missing lights?
Speeding?
Overweight?
Weaving?
Failure to wear seatbelt?
Failure to signal?
Failure to stop?
Fail to yeild?
Fail to understand, or comprehend basic english?
Cracked windscreens?
Trailers, or Tractors without inspection stickers?
Failure to provide proof of carrier Ins?
No registration?
No Licensplate on trailer?
Illegible Trailer Licens plate?
Illegible Dot numbers?
No Dot Numbers?
No Proof of CDL?
Missing, or damaged DoT bumper on trailer?
Landing gear handle missing, or improperly secured?
Leaking fuel, or fluids?
Retreads on the steers?
There are a million things you can get a ticket for, and it's the "DRIVER'S" resposibility for all of it. Yes the DoT cops are just waiting to spot you on any number of these.
And if they can't hack it... well then maybe they should stay down south, if it's not like that down south

PROVE that the Mexican drivers are stealing our jobs. PROVE that their trucks are any more "unsafe" than the trucks here, or their driving skills are below those you would find here in the U.S.
Use FACTS instead of repeating something you read in LandLine Mag or heard the Trucking #### say (emphasis on ####).
