ney1815 I must teach a bit about mexican trucks. I have 16 years in the Trucking industry. Mexico are allowed to get goods bound for the USA up to the border. There it is transloaded onto dray trucks to go across the border by licensed companys who import/export goods on both sides. THen goods are loaded after clearence onto us trucks for delivery to the USA. As of this year a limited amount of Mexican Carriers are aloowed to deliver to the usa outside the restricted zone. In a few years Mexico will be aloowed to deliver anywhere in the US and possibly Cananda as well. Note that Canada truckers been moving goods to all points in the usa for years. There are some American COmpanies aloowed to deliver into Mexico such as Mexico City. The mexican truck bill as you called it was vetoed because of Cliton's impression that thier trucks are 40 years old and unsafe. There are a few first class mexican carriers with brand new freightliners ready to deliver. I do not care for the difficulties the Government imposed on us. However, it comes down to economics. A mexican worker can live well for 6 dollars an hour compared to the American worker who needs 16 dollars an hour and expensive material to produce. And the Chinese market is even cheaper. That will change in the future once China establishes a way of life equal to our nation across thier country. This has been a hot button thread and I felt I had to submit my two cents. Good Luck and enjoy your trains.
