The U.S. Department of Transportation announced today that Mexican motor carriers will soon be able to apply for authority to conduct long-haul, cross-border trucking services in the United States. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx insisted they have proven "a level of safety at least as high as their American and Canadian counterparts."

However, in a report issued last month, The Office of Inspector General concluded the opposite, noting "Because the pilot program lacked an adequate number of participants, we could not determine with confidence whether the 15 carriers are representative. Without being able to determine the representativeness of the 15 carriers, one cannot project the safety performance for the population of Mexico-domiciled carriers that may qualify for long-haul operating authority in the future."

If I ever see Mexican tags on a US highway I'll be putting max distance between myself and said vehicle as fast as humanly possible.
