U.S.-Mexico truck travel

That's easy, don't report crashes to the FMCSA

DOT can't even keep up with domestic trucks and we're supposed to trust them to check every Mexican truck?

Again reports can be manipulated or skewed. Much like the Border Patrol hiring Mexican nationals to work for the Border Patrol, I'm sure Peters gave the authorization to hire Mexican watchdogs to monitor their trucks.

So if 7000 American trucks were inspected I guarantee that if the inspectors turned in a 1% OOS report they'd lose their jobs.

 

LOL I told you all so... its just a matter of time.... they are just keeping it hush hush and soon .14 per mile drivers will be flooding America... Trucking job is just going to be another worthless paying job...

 

i know its already starting here with the laborers at the coal tipples of the non union mines. they went from having to pay guys 18 bucks an hour to run the tipple to paying guys 8 bucks an hour.....and then the company laims to have american values

 

These fools in DC are going to push this crap till we are all living in mud huts.......

 

Cardboard boxes are the approved shelters by the Pols.

 

What do the Polish have to do with it????


...LOL...LOL...LOL....

 

I won't do Laredo, TX or Calexico, CA anymore (Nogales, AZ seems to be the black sheep for some reason). Every time they ask me to do them a favor down there I get screwed and then they make me sit for days claiming they have freight coming, but they just give it to their own drivers until someone lights a fire under their butts. Most loads are dangerous or overweight anyway and I have to make someone fix it with much argument and bullheadedness. I just avoid the headache and stay clear of it all anymore unless I really have no alternatives. Just think of it this way when driving in Texas no one will know the difference just like 5yrs ago when the first floodgate was opened. Like I always say I don't feel like I'm home until at least 3 vehicles cut across 3 lanes and break hard directly in front of me to get off the interstate.

 

Before you guys go negative, read the ###### report!

This report was in answer to a mandate from Congress which FMCSA complied with.

The members of the panel are all well regarded, non partisian experts from the private sector!

An analysis is here along with a link to download the .pdf file.FMCSA RELEASES INDEPENDENT PANELS ANALYSIS OF MEXICAN CROSS BORDER PROGRAM

You know what's strange? The AP, Truckers News, eTrucker, Overdrive, Houston Chronicle, San Antonio Express News picked up on this. Would anyone venture a guess who is ignoring the report and it's conclusion?

You got it! OOIDA! Why? Because this report repudiates every lie, exaggeration, inaccurate statistics and opinion that they have made their members and some in Congress believe!

When an action contrary to the program has happened, they've been the first to crow about it and beat their chests on their website and on their afternoon website!

Could it be? Could it possibly be, that they have egg on their faces?

Their fear mongering got them an additional 10,000 members this past year but with this report, the gravy train is over.

For those of you that think statistics were hidden, crashes not reported, think of what you're saying!

This program has been under the microscope for so long that any incident involving one of these trucks would have been front page news!

Check every truck every time? You betcha! Read the report! FMCSA has always pledged to CHECK every truck every time for proper driver documents and licenses, proper registration and current CVSA decal.

Get over it people! You've been fed a load of bull and fell for it hook line and sinker.

 

carry your mexican azs back to mexico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
