    Another ruse... Same intent..But we have to swallow the poo or big capital will have to screw over some other American workers...BS..So now the fights between Manufacturing workers or truckers..Or American vs Mexican truckers..Its all the same game.. Play your opponents against each other and them rob them blind...Follow the Money...Free trade is money over people...

    Ah but did you happen to see the nightly news last night? A mexican trucker who was drunk ran over a tour bus someplace in Mexico and Injured alot of American Tourist. Dont know if it killed any or not. But it bids well on there behalf that they drive drunk and run over busses while all this is going on. I will see if I can find a link to the story.

    Not saying it won't happen, what I am saying is it does not bid well for them when they want free run of the country and then run over a bus load of tourist and kill 11 because he was drunk. As far as im concerned they can stay over there and we over here. And all the companies that went over there for cheap labor can pay the higher Tariff's that they are in turn going to pass back on to us the consumer anyway.

    And from what I have seen most of the trucks running over there are the junk worn out trucks that all the mega corps trade off or sell to the mexican carriers. So I personaly dont think they are going to be all that safe when they get here. And we all know the carriers running here under the old pilot program were probable hand picked so the cream of the crop came across, so they really looked good.Now Wait till the others start rolling in. Just my 2 cents

    I believe you on that. Mexican laborors I've used wanted my old pickup truck tires that were down to about 1/16" of tread left...they said in Mehico, those are considered very good tires! I expect their rigs are about the same.

    gotta chime in here,the motorcyclist was killed when he lost control and fell into the path of the truck. as to the bicycle rider,he most likely rode up on the right of the truck as the driver was turning..that "caution-wide turns" decal means DO NOT COME UP ON THE SIDE OF A TURNING TRUCK--NO MATTER WHAT--STAY BEHIND IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Most people ignore that decal. I've had countless numbers of cars,motorcycles,bicycles that have came into the "pinch" zone while turning right,these vehicles purposely ignored my turn signals and tried to squeeze in alongside me,expecting me to yield. Had i hit them ,they would have been at fault,even if i killed them,,thankfully i watch my mirrors closely while turning because i KNOW that the majority of people are in fact-JUST PLAIN STUPID-yet they blame the truck for almost hitting them! One guy in a Toyota pickup came up alongside me while i was halfway through my turn, just as i was about to destroy his car with my trailer tires i saw him,so did the Fontana Police who was behind him the whole time,I stopped (completely blocking traffic on Etiwanda).walked back to him to tell him to back up,he started yelling and cussing at me,the Officer advised him to either back up or i had the legal option of running over the hood of his truck AND he would be responsible for any damage to my truck--and of course he would also be cited for attempting to pass on the right. needless to say he shut up and put his pickup in reverse. as i completed my turn, i noticed the Officer returning from his patrol car(now with the red/blues on) back towards the guy,with his ticket book in hand. thank you Fontana PD,maybe that driver will think twice before he shoots up alongside another turning truck!

    you guys are not seeing the big picture!:biggrin_25512: Go get some Doritos and something to drink. Sit down and watch the following videos on Google Videos... Endgame. Zeitgeist II addendum and Wake Up Call.:yes2557: They are vey good at explaining the who, what, when, where, and most of all why all this is happening! And they are free!:yes2557:This whole thing is much bigger than Mexican trucks.

    Look I know that a lot of you are saying,There gose another conspiracy nut! :yes2557: But think about this.. 5--6 yrs ago they said the same thing about the SPP or North American Union!:yes2557: Now they admit it and Lou Dobbs reports on it all the time on CNN as dose others like Glen Beck.:biggrin_25511:

    Just something to consider ! So Pleas see the videos and Then we can really get into it!:biggrin_255:
