    Just ran across this article today.

    http://www.newswithviews.com/Wooldridge/frosty244.htm

    Its a few months old. Did this truck out ever happen? The 45 days is up, has there been a big influx of truckers from across the border?

    Is there anything to worry about here?

    While there are some hysterical types who are fanning the flames, there is little to nothing to worry about if you consider the numbers and the fact that there are more dangerous American trucks and drivers already on the road than will EVER be Mexicans

    With a statement like that it makes you look like such an idiot.

    Sorry if that insults you but your statement was an insult to all the of the hard working truck drivers out there.

    Have a nice day.......

    No its not. its a factual statement based on experience. ANYONE who says that the Mexicans are in any way MORE dangerous than the American Drivers does not know what they are talking about, or they are simply being wagged by the dog and are just being reactionary.

    Go to ANY port city, ANY coal or aggregate hauling area, and even some of the more gypo OTR outfits and tell me that their trucks and drivers are all safe professionals who obey the regulations. If you say they are, your either an ignorant pup who's never been anywhere, or someone who's oblivious and has an agenda. The sheer numbers of the American screwballs will make the Mexican trucks less than a blip on the safety radar screen.
