Do something about Mexican trucks

Hell Ron, at those rates even if you do gotta dead head out it's still over $2.50 mile round trip.

Thats how we pretty much work it , just dead head home to get another good one.

 

LOL

I dont have that problem because:

1) I never refuse a load

2) I've never been late delivering a load

These drivers arent taking freight from anyone. They take freight no one else will move.

 

That's called a "niche" btw.....

 

I call it a oxy-moron. The drivers that complain about Mexican trucks crossing the border are usually the first drivers that refuse to drive to Mexico.

Welcome to NAFTA. That freight needs to be pulled.

 

I won't go back to Mexico......I had the "pleasure" of having a rifle from a Mexican soldier pointed at me and my family....No thanks.....I don't need to be in a place where Americans have no rights or recourse.....

 

OK, so why would that equate to Mexican trucks taking your job? That freight still needs to be pulled. If you wont pull it, someone else will.

 

It doesn't equate to Mexicans taking my freight...

But you mentioned something about those who complain about the Mexicans and not going into Mexico themselves to pull freight to Mexico...


I gave you my reason for not going down there myself....


I didn't fall off the dock yesterday....

I served in the Army before most posting here were born....I was taught one very important thing about weapons....When you take the time to aim your weapon....You also intend to discharge that weapon.....


I prefer not to be on the muzzle side of anyone's weapon myself....Especially when it's a kid barley old enough to shave..from a third world country......


Sorry....I value my life that way......

 

That vast one year of experience has taught you this?

 

My heartfelt gratitude for you saying this first--and doing it so eloquently versus everything I have been thinking since I read his posts!

 

I respect your opinion as everyone should be entitled to one. However, you made it seem as if Mexican trucks are out to get our jobs, when that isnt the case. That is the point I was trying to make.
