It will then be handed over to an American haulage company for the final leg of the journey to California.

"It makes no sense at all," says Israel as, finally, he thinks about getting some sleep.

I say let them be pissed...and leave them in Mexico. They can truck in Mexico and I'll truck in the US.

Trust me...it works better that way.

...they will have suceeded in disqualifing or firing most of us or just plain making life so miserable for the American driver, that most of us will be unemployed or unemployable in the very near future.
All in pursuit of that cheap labor. Let's raise freight rates, let's cut wages to make a bigger profit.

When the protest against Mexican trucks was going on at the San Ysidro (San Diego) border crossing, the Teamsters were there protesting or rather the "Rank and file".... and across the border in Mexico, the BA's (Business Agents) were recruiting potential new members....


I know this because a member of CDTOA witnessed the whole thing going on....

Teamsters are a bunch of sell outs. They have been infiltraited by the Internationalists.

We need to have a union like the UAW not the Teamsters.
