Mexico based carriers working they're way North .

Yes. You REALLY don't want to drive truck anywhere south of the US/Mexico border unless you really want to better appreciate what you have here as a driver in North America.

 

Laws, corruption, and crime as well.

 

1. It is not safe
2. You would have to speak Spanish fluently
3. It is not safe

 

The US military bans it's members from traveling to Mexico for a reason.

 

Do you think that would be an issue for these bottom feeders?
"Oh well, another driver get murdered for his load, I guess our load insurance will go up again..."
That is a sentence I would not be surprised to hear in a bottom feeder's board room....

 

A few beheaded people & soda pop with meth mixed in and a place starts to lose its 5-star rating.

 

And some people think we should just have open borders! Oops, politics.

 

I will second that. Full automation would require a complete upgrade of the entire interstate hwy system to install the electronics needed to work with the truck. It's too risky to use radar or other technology. Probably cost in excess of 2 trillion just for that.

 

They'll hire more cops to deal with the increased crime rate. Sell public assets (parks, fresh water, gold, roads) to foriegn interests. Draft unemployed into the military and fund the govt through crusades (wars). Nothing new here.
