DOT to inspect Mexican, U.S. trucks in D.C. to prove safety standards met

What are the odds they find a violation?

zero.

 

Of course. Dog and pony shows never show anything wrong.

 

I agree. I personally think, that transport, to and from anywhere in Mexico, and or Canada should be open to all. We should have a North American Trucking Alliance or something similiar established, in order to allow easier access to transport. I think it would be mutually benificial for all three countries.
Granted I agree that all parties involved should have a FAST card or something similiar. That's fair.
We should be able to pick up a load in Canada, and transport it to another spot in Canada. All truckers in all three countries would benefit don't you think? That'd mean less waiting time, and more loads, and more miles.

 

I've talked with Mexican drivers. They are very happy with $120 a week, no limit on their hours.
Would you be?

 

When they operate in the US, they are required to adhere to the HOS in place here.

 

Ok so they have to follow our rules when they are here, but how many hours did they drive before they got to the border.Thats the question?????????

 

The USDOT will just have to get used to reading tachographs, I guess.

 

Oh thats funny.... They don't even know how to read a log book you want them to learn something new.....

 

The sad part is I know exactly what you are talking about from my experience with the Pennsylvania State Police.
