What do you the truckers think?

This is so. But on this end of the fence, I appreciate your efforts.

Has the influx really reached Conn. yet?

 

That data may be right for Mex drivers than drive the 'better' rigs and are driving further up north. I drive the U.S. Border quite a bit and see some pretty old, run-down rigs crossing and going only to Tucson, or some other 'border' city. Some ppl call Tucson a 'glorified border town,' since a large Hispanic 'service' population for the retirees and snow-birds exists here!!

 

It IS worrying to consider how it'll effect U.S.driver's income. Mexican drivers can live comfortably on a fraction what we make. Sounds good till you factor in that Mexican licensing for truck drivers is simply paying a little more. No testing, no background, no schooling. You simply BUY it. And While Mexican trucks are supposed to measure up.... Anyone who'se been to Laredo Tx. or similar border towns knows different. While our system's great, do you HONESTLY think companies will drop prices simply because they're paying a fraction to foreign drivers? It'd be a "do nothing" boost to their profit margin.
