New heavy haul operation - Nuevo Leon, MX to California

Do you have your trailers yet? New trailers might be hard to find on short notice and used trailers are always a gamble.

 

Are you familiar with la mordida? Knowing who to pay and how much can be challenging.

 

“Dual” plated trucks are not a target. And it’s basically a pick and choose to an individual truck if it gets hit. I travel into Baja often and I know a few truckers there, we trade stories and what I stated is true, unless it’s one of there countertop truck stop stories.

 

Pay off/bribe…….

 

Also, three to four round trips a month per truck is ambitious but perhaps not realistic. Heavy haul work is almost totally dependent on good timing for the loading and unloading. Cranes, forklifts, whatever you plan on using to unload have to be there. Every time.
We have some really experienced heavy haul owner/operators on here. They can help you decide if you really want to do this.

 

Good luck. I've never taken a truck into Mexico and have no intention of going but I watched my cousin, a tuna fisherman out of San Diego, fight to get his boat back when it was falsely seized by Mexican authorities.
La Mordida is alive and well down there. Eventually, if you do business in Mexico long enough, you'll find out.
