FMCSA's Hill hints at extending cross-border trucking program

FMCSA's Hill hints at extending cross-border trucking program

The U.S.-Mexico cross-border trucking pilot program, which has reached its halfway point, has drawn fewer participants than expected, raising the chance that it might be extended to collect additional results, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported today, March 7.

In an interview with the newspaper, John Hill, administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, blamed opposition to the program in Congress and among groups such as the Teamsters union for depressing participation. Trucking companies are reluctant to pay several thousand dollars a year for insurance required to cross the border “in light of the uncertainty of whether or not it is going to continue,” Hill told the Union-Tribune.
