Do something about Mexican trucks

I saw nowhere were anyone was trying to intimidate you. I saw someone point out your lack of experience after you made a post regarding a topic in which you seem to have little experience beyond reading regulations.

 

# 'olhand,

Besides in this thread, everything I post on this forum comes from 'the green book'. So if you think that is 'BS', then Im at a loss of words. I even referenced where in the FMCSR he was wrong for logging FDOT HOS. Also, the members that tried to correct me ended up reiterating what I origionally stated, which is why I didnt respond to them. Granted I wasnt driving a combination vehicle, but the same rules applied to me as I wasnt a traveling salesman.

I had my class A for almost 10 years. Please dont judge me because what I put in my bio. Judge me for what I post on the forum.

No one up until your post gave me a legitamate reason to sign a petition.

One more note, do realise that not every truck driver is a owner operator with 40ish years of experience. We all have to start somewhere. So, step off the pedestal.

 

Sure" bring'em and keep'em comin!!!we have all" the work/job's in the world. As long as your not an American.

 

You sayin' you can't stack it up better than some third-world wannabe?

 

Now back to the op.....
Bring them on....I'd like to see them handle Vail, Cabbage, or anywhere on the 80 in WY....During the winter....

I hope CDOT will pay close attention....Those guys gave me sheyat one time for not "properly displaying" tire chains.......When they check my bins for chains ( I don't "display" chains for the same reason I don't "display" my wallet on the dash when I'm sleeping...)....I do hope they will be fair and check the NAFTA rigs for chains as well....

 

I heard on XM Roaddog how this is going to help people on this side of border also...One guy ships lobster to Mexico, flying it costs him $3.52c/lb, shipping it is $1.50/lb(I think that's what he said) so he will make a lot more money and some US based trucker will get paid to ship it...

The Mexican trucks will also have GPS and/or EORBs on them to track their movement and make sure their not moving a load other than the one they brought over the border plus many other restrictions...They're on a double secret probation type of situation...

 

But the Mexican truck's EOBR will be paid for by the US taxpayer....Not the Mexican Government...

Now another thing too consider....

Say a NAFTA rig plows into your rig....Our Politically Correct gooberment always the appeaser, will allow the NAFTA driver to have a quick ingress to their nearest embassy....


Then....You know DOT will come out and pull an L1 ON YOU.......You'll get the "award" and the "speech"...."Driver...you weren't supposed to be there..."
