Mexico trucks?

Injun answered the question correctly and unknowingly for you guy!

You see, unlike us, they play by the rules. Especially in their country because not doing so can get them thrown in prison and loss of their license from anywhere from 3 years to life, depending on the offense. And for them, trucking is a good job, it's considered an honorable profession in Mexico and unlike here, it's actually a skilled profession.

Here, we screw up, have an accident or do something stupid, it's a slap on the wrist and we're sent out to do it again, until someone dies. There is no personal responsibility in our industry. And that's our own ###### fault.

But the correct answer to your question is if they are caught busting cabotage, they can have their visas revoked and be deported back to Mexico. It's ###### difficult to get a border crossing visa from the US and they aren't going to do anything to jeopardize it, nor are their employers going to require it. They have too ###### much money invested in the program to do it any other way than legal.

People should be worrying about the Canadians and the 37,000 trucks that have free and largely unmonitored access to our country.

And BTW, rates in Mexico are about 10-15% higher than what we are getting here. It costs the company I work for, $450-575 to send a load from Pharr Texas to Monterrey Mexico, a distance of 145 miles with our partner carriers. The idea that rates in Mexico or that the Mexicans can or will operate for $1.00 a mile or less is total BS

I think 90% of what you said and think you know is B.S.

WOW! And we are worried about some silly CSA points being awarded to us for being bad.

You shouldn't have posted this. 2Hellandback will be headed down their tomorrow to cut their rates.

I know some Mexicans here in Oklahoma pulling end dumps that will cut rates and haul for around a $1.00 a mile and that ain't no bull.
