    Wow that's serious down there. USA insurance companies may adopt that soon.

    Yup, talked to a couple of drivers that make runs down to Nuevo Laredo and Juarez. The thieves have mostly been targeting the drivers. They either want the cargo and/or the truck as a whole intact. The driver is considered expendable!

    If their MO is to block the road to stop the truck, they should just put some real bumpers on the trucks and hammer down. 1-1.jpg

    Not only you have to be careful from cartel members or the neighborhood thief.
    Local cops also want their money too. A family member and myself we used to deliver pvc pipes to Reynosa, Mexico. I gotta say we got stop more than 4 times by local law enforcement asking us for the mordida or bribe which was 50 pesos equivalent to 5 dls.

    A darn shame that drivers cant even do their job peacefully.
     
    mjd4277 and SteerTire Thank this.
