    Truckers with guts are America’s last hope!
    When are America’s truckers going to organize and make Washington listen?
    As you sit behind the wheel, Washington is getting ready to destroy your profession, earning potential and make it impossible for you to feed your families.
    Are America’s truckers just going to sit by and watch the Mexican truckers destroy the American trucking world as we know it? What happened to the independent and proud American trucker?
    Communicate with your fellow truckers, get the word out, We are not going to sit by and allow this to happen.
    If the Obama administration opens our borders to this Mexican trucking flood, every single American truck on US Highways should shutdown and clog every single highway in the USA for as long as it takes. There is no way the police can arrest every single trucker and no way they could tow thousands of trucks to open the highways! I have seen these strikes done in Europe with great effect.
    Your whole livelihood is on the line, Think about it, Talk to the new drivers and make sure they are ready. America is in bad shape these days; our economy is in shambles thanks to our own government selling out the American worker. They are after the truckers now; it is time to be proud! Stand and fight for your family and way of life!

    They are going to infiltrate all the Iron Skillet restaurants, change them to Taco Bell, and kill us with intestinal parasites.

    They'll be waiting lines outside the restrooms in pickle parks, and within 3 months, we will run out of tighty-whitys, making Wal-Mart even more of an evil corporation as they are the only ones who can keep up with supply and demand.

    Stop driving and watch the news sometime. :biggrin_25522:

    The real problem with allowing Mexican drivers free access to the country won't be the Mexicans themselves but rather the big carriers moving operations south of the border and using a labour pool that makes half of what an American driver earns.

    Having an operations facility in Nuevo Laredo as compared to Laredo itself would save thousands on operating costs.

    The big carriers will pay the Mexicans a good wage for someone living in Mexico and most lilkely will have drivers running team 24/7. A delay at the border of several hours won't be an issue with drivers running team.
    With terminals already established throughout the states it won't be hard to move these guys around and keep them going.

    They will have to pass the same tests IN ENGLISH, pass background checks and inspections we do and I don't think most will be able to...If they could, they'd already be working for a US based company...

    How many drivers have you seen that DONT speak english?I see alot.Don`t know why they are working but they are.My guess is alot of the "mega" companies are ready to start operations anywhere they can and you can bet cheaper labor is being sought.
