05/04/2007 U.S., Mexican Trucks to Begin Cross-Border Demonstration Program at Same Time Related Resources • Safety Forum Threads • All Fleet Safety Compliance Resources • All Fleet Safety Training Resources Send this article to a friend Print this article Safety discussion forum U.S. trucks will begin operating in Mexico for the first time ever starting at the same time Mexican trucks begin operating north of the commercial border zone in the United States. "We are working to give American truckers an unprecedented opportunity to compete in a substantial new market," Secretary of Transportation Mary E. Peters said. "This announcement puts the program on track to lower costs for U.S. consumers, make our economy more competitive, and give U.S. truckers new business opportunities." In February, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced a year-long demonstration program to expand cross-border trucking operations with Mexico. The program is designed to eliminate the current cumbersome, outdated, and costly system of moving freight across the border and replace it with an efficient, transparent, and safe cross-border trucking process. The program's safety developments have been guided by, but not limited to, requirements established by Congress in 2002. DOT's independent inspector general has also certified that the program substantially meets eight criteria addressing inspector training, inspection facilities, and the development of safety procedures. DOT has invested $500 million since 1995 to modernize border safety facilities and hire and train the more than 500 federal and state inspectors who inspect trucks crossing the border every day. As part of the program, U.S. inspectors will conduct in-person safety audits to ensure participating Mexican companies comply with U.S. safety regulations. DOT will also require all Mexican truck drivers to hold a valid commercial driver's license, comply with U.S. medical requirements, comply with all U.S. hours-of-service rules, and be able to understand questions and directions in English. Mexican truck companies that are allowed to participate must have insurance with a U.S.-licensed firm and meet all U.S. safety standards, including drug and alcohol testing. Companies that meet these stringent standards will be allowed to make international pickups and deliveries only. For more information, see the notice in the Federal Register.

The NAU marches forward. First, the integration of people via an erased border, now we have an economic integration. No Dorothy, this isn't America any longer - much to the delight of the internationalists and one worlders.
Kiss our national ass good-bye. Habla espanol?
Hey meester truck driver..can i borrow your seester? [The USA is DEAD..the least we can do is prepare to return the favor with street trials and sentencing in D.C right on the mall...gallows and all....but we need more rope...HEMP rope.]
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition Our interstates are going to be a bloodbath...I've already had a couple of near-misses with Mexican truck drivers here in East Tennessee, and that was just 'around town'.
so you don't buy this? me neither.
One link at a time. One degree at a time..the frogs, unaware, begin to boil, as the heat is slowly turned up. "Hey what' cookin'? It's us!"
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition ROTFLMAO!!! Scary part is; many dumb-ass Americans will actually buy this line of BS.
"Is that boiled chicken I smell?"
Got to remember them meskin truck drivers will not be legal residents of the USA, either, [i.e. "illegal" but welcomed anyway as "guests"] and will likely escape from any criminal liability back to mexico from any rapes and murders and drunken mahem they conduct while on the road in our country. After all, TheStateInc wouldn't want to do anything un-PC and ruin our relationship with our amigos south of the rio bravo.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition Perish the thought.
You folks have nothing over the mutts in NY/NJ. But its always been bad up here. When did the TN invasion begin?
A few years ago...started with restaurants; then they were imported to pick tomatoes and strawberries. Employers then discovered they could get away with paying Mexicans even lower wages than the already piss-poor norm for Appalachia, and that was it. "Budget cuts" at our local hospital resulted in layoffs of locals; who were promptly replaced by Mexicans. Coincidentally; in-house crime (petty theft, vandalism, and so forth) at said hospital is through the roof.
