Is there anything required for crossing over to Mexico?

Give some of the horror stories I have heard coming from that border I don't think I would attempt that kind of trip even if I had the entire 101st Airborne Division on all sides of me.

 

We had a new guy at my company accidentally cross into mexico. They asked for $400 bribe to cross back into the us. He didn't have that cash on him so my company was going to send another driver down there with the money but it was going to take a few hours. The mexicans didn't want to wait so they let him cross back

 

I just have to ask, how do you "accidentally" cross into Mexico driving a CMV?

 

Monterrey is a big city. I would need a bit of help navigating...

Let’s see...I would need $15000 to me, plus $3000/ day detention every day until I cross back over.

 

Wouldnt I like to know.

I was down at Eagle Pass long ago loading at a tin plant or something with substandard coils. I think I was still on American ground, but was not too sure.

Laredo was where trailers were picked up from Cartage, Mexican drivers come up, drop it, I get it and go to delivery somewhere in the USA. The two lessons I had from my first time there was one, you will wait ALL day for that stupid trailer and two carry a blade. (Don't do as I do lol.)

I best shut up before I get into trouble. We been along the border a bit too much in our time and don't care for it.

 

This guy was a young guy who had a bad attitude. We work food service so he was supposed to deliver about 200 feet away from the mexican border on the us side obviously. His trainer told me he was on his phone a lot during training because he was having marital/gf problems so my guess is he was on the phone and simply got distracted.

I forgot to mention when he came back from his route that morning he quit by simply writing that he quit on a piece of paper and left it on the tractor, not even a phone call or text

 

Didn't know they still jailed the mentally deficient in Mexico.

 

If you were in Eagle Pass, TX you were on American ground. Lol TRUST ME, you'd know if you weren't. South TX driver here. I'm in this town a lot. You'd KNOW if you weren't in America anymore lol.
