Dude, your a ass. Telling Hoffa he needs to meet his dad. Hoffa is right. We don't need to out source anything or the American people will fall. The next thing that is going to happen is we are going to start seeing unemployment rise once more. What a Fuxin mistake. My wife is Hispanic, and yes I’m 100% Anglo Saxon but this is wrong. I don't want to be driving on the road when one of these Mexican’s is on the road for 19 hours.

Actually I'm quite confused by all the hubbub about the crossboarder issues.
Safety? Put U.S.D.O.T. inspectors at the boarder and inspect the trucks crossing there. Done Deal.
Taxes & Permits? Have the inspection people hold the trucks in question accountable when they try to cross at the boarder. Done Deal.
Mexican truckers? Say they don't want to do Interstate commerce in the U.S. Done Deal!
All the fuss over petty issues, no wonder there is a problem.
Any how,I hope things work out for the best interest of everyone.

Well then that's it! The Mexican trucking companies have nothing to discuss. U.S. interstate commerce shouldn't open up to Mexican companies. Mexican companies with the number of trucks you show here should have plenty of work in their own country. Thanks for your response. Most informative! I thought the issue was about crossing the boarder and doing international trade. I find out now that Mexican trucking companies DO want to come here to the U.S. and do business in U.S. interstate commerce, I'm gonna have to say that I wouldn't have any interest in that.

Porter M. Corn — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:43:14 -0000

Sir,

The Mexican trucks have been doing just that for more than 50 years without problems.

During the pilot program, their safety numbers were better than ours.

And access for Mexican trucks is more stringent than requirements for the Canadians who routinely violate our cabotage laws.

The opponents are grasping at straws because they have never been able to prove their allegations

Klixta 1 — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:39:55 -0000

Nobody seems to mention that maybe the Mexican trucks could do the same as the Canadians. Carry freight in from Mexico to a U.S. destination, then haul U.S. exported freight back to Mexico. Is that so difficult??? I have never seen anyone say a damn thing even closley related. NAFTA is about international trade. Safety Inspections and regulations have to be met by all parties involved and from the data collected, the companies that are questionable should be scutinized. The companies involved have to have their company in compliance with numbers, insurance, permits, and so on. So with that said I go back to the opening statement; Why can't the Mexican trucking companies do the same as tha Canadian trucking companies.......?

Porter M. Corn — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 16:22:23 -0000

It's not going to bring any more nor any less up here. Matter of fact, you'll see no difference in anything.

At the moment, it's the slow time on the border. Company I work for, we have freight, but we're also sitting a day when we come in.

I can't speak for your company or others. All of these companies have specific manufacturers we haul for

Re: Texas Senator John Cornyn & Texas DPS weigh in on proposed Mexican truck program

Emt2666 — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 16:02:57 -0000

well what i would like to know is how is this going to bring more freight up here when for the past 3 weeks the company i work for and 3 others had well over 180 trucks a company awaiting the trucks to come across the border and yet the mexican drivers can get it up here on time with plant shut down loads so you think we will make money by sitting for a week with no loads coming out of mexico glad i dont work for your company

Porter M. Corn — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 06:14:45 -0000

What do you base your uniformed opinion on? Can you provide specifics? And not the claptrap put out by the unions because many of them are the cause of companies moving their businesses offshore and to other countries.

Mexican truckers will not undercut US truckers. US truckers, happily hauling for $1.00 a mile or less have undercut themselves. Thing the Mexicans will pull our freight for these rates? Think again.

When rates Mexican truckers demand for hauling in their own country range from$1.85 to $2.25 per mile, I don't think we need to worry.

NAFTA has been both a benefit and a detriment to all three countries involved. And those are the facts.

Before NAFTA and a pile load of corrupt Democrats more interested in banks than protecting our economy took over our country, WE HAD JOBS. Now we have nothing but debt. If our country no plans for Mexican truckers to undercut US truckers, they'd leave you in the dirt; and if you don't think so, you need to wise up.

You may want this because you win and we lose, but stop acting like it is a good thing for people in this country because it is not.

Thanks for you comment James, but I have to disagree.

These trucks and trucking companies are in many cases, better run and managed than many of ours. And their regulatory environment works for them. It puts personal responsibility on the companies and the drivers to follow the rules. Failure to do so can cost them their jobs, licenses and freedom. A powerful incentive to play by the rules in Mexico.

People fail to realize, these trucks are here, and have been for years. People don't know this because they don't cause problems, get into accidents etc.

Every single truck crossing that southern border, and keep in mind, more than 4 million loads cross the southern border annually, are looked at, inspected visually or manually at the border and at the state inspection stations just beyond the border, and again, at inland immigration check points.

Believe it or not, bribes used to be the "social norm" in Mexico but over the years, that has changed. I know. I tried to get a 65" flat screen across the border at xmas and had to pay the tariff on it. I miss the old days. And it is becoming increasingly difficult to make a traffic problem go away for a $50 peso bribe.

Times have changed in Mexico. People on this side of the border fail to see it or refuse to acknowledge it.

Sure, there is corruption in Mexico, but the same corruption exists in the US. In Mexico, it's more open. In the US, it's called "lobbyists"

But you know James, up there in Radnor Twp Pa., a beautiful part of your state, it is doubtful you'll ever see a Mexican truck and if you do, you would not realize it. They are no different than ours, and in many cases, better.

3 trucks a day, as Hoffa claims, crossing the border and coming into the interior, is not a threat nor is it competition to our 4 million + licensed commercial drivers

James Silva — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 02:11:19 -0000

I'm sorry, but as your average, native-born American, I do not want Trucks from a drug-cartel ran country, with sub-standard safety regulations, if any, driving American highways by drivers, whom probably do not speak adequate English. The few Mexican transportation safety regulations do not even come close to ours, and the majority of these trucks coming through inspections, will probably come by way of bribes, which seems to be a social norm south of the border. And I do not believe that increase in exports to Mexico will make up for the damage done the the US trucking industry if these trucks are allowed to come through. Why should we reward a country like Mexico for flooding our Southern states with illegal immigrants and fueling are narcotics supply?

eugeniog@live.com would like to get in touch with Advocate 540. I am manager of a Mexican truck fleet mentioned in these comments, and we do not run junk. Like Advocate I have 40 years experience in transportation in various companies. I have been a resident of Mexico for 18 years. And know full well that the OOIDA crap is just that. By the way I have been a member of OOIDA in the past and they have not done much for their members

Perhaps you should study the issue more. Nothing that you mention has anything to do with our failure to comply with our international obligations.

You are simply parroting the bullshit coming from the opposition that has no basis in fact.

Mexican Trucks and their driers should stay in mexico.If mexico wants to enter the USA territory then, mexico, should raise its own economic status to a higher degree then USA status. They, mexico, NEED to have a higher hourly pay rate, HIGHER PAY RATE FOR DRIVERS, and THEn, and ONLY then, they can enter USA. If they choose not to do this, stated above, then, no one should be permitted to enter USA for Business.

American truckers would sleep, eat the same as the Mexicans. At Pemex truck stops, restaurant parking lots etc. Nothing really different from the US.

Not as much highjacking as you've been led to believe. Most of the Mexicans sleep with their motors off and sleeper doors open without incident.

Actually, under Federal law, there is nothing to prevent any Mexican truck from entering and transiting the US with a load bound for Canada.

Mexico does not allow handguns. Period. Minimum of 2 years in the hoosegow. Don't need them anyhow. Never had to take mine from it's hiding place in 15 years.

You have alot of Hi-Jacking going on in your country. what are you doing to protect us when we arrived in your country. if you protect our drivers then we will allow you into america and you can enter canada from america Highways or Interstates. lets work together. Will you allow us to carry Hand Guns into Mexico. Will we be cleared to have a hand gun. Will your laws protect us.
