Mexican trucks

There are already plenty of Canadian trucks carrying goods in the U.S. I'm sure the Mexican trucks will be doing the same. Plenty of Mexican drivers already working for U.S. firms. The truck driver shortage is legend. Ther new HOS regs won't make this any better. Also, just look at the speed at which very large unionized trucking firms are falling by the wayside. With so many of the critical trucking costs such as fuel and environmental and HOS compliance up, the trucking companies MUST cut costs somewhere, or perish. Just ask the 3,000 former Consolidated Freightways employees or the 2,000 Red Star folks now on the street. The unionized lines with their higher costs are first to feel the pinch, but others will follow. Might not be such a bad thing for RRs. Problem is, there is not enough additional capacity there either... <br /> <br />LC <br /> <br />
