MEXICAN TRUCKS

If this business already doesn't have enough happening already with the Department of Transportation and FMCSA actively seeking to mandate electronic on-board recorders and wanting to further limit the number of hours drivers can work, this administation is planning to announce the opening of the U.S. border to Mexican trucks. Enough is Enough!!! I would really like to know who lays awake at night thinking this stuff up. Everyone needs to contact their Senators and Representives and voice their concerns. OOIDA is also working to stop this nonsense. Its bad enough to have the Canadians running all over now we'll have the Mexicans too. If you think the rates are cheap now wait until the Mexican trucks start hauling your loads.
