Mexican carriers with USDOT Numbers

Feb 19, 2008 General Interest

I’ve always said that the entire debate is an exercise in gross stupidity and I continue to maintain that position.

Teamster, OOIDA, Public Citizen and other fringe “safety” groups continue to oppose 12 Mexican carriers putting 54 well maintained trucks on the highways of the US.

We’ve also made mention of the estimated 1000 Mexican carriers who were grandfathered in back in 1982 when President Reagon signed the moratorium against foreign carriers. But those were never mentioned and are not mentioned when discussing the Cross Border Program.

Has anyone ever wondered exactly how many Mexican companies are assigned USDOT identification numbers? And how many power units operate under this identifying number.

Would you believe 14,243 Mexican truck operators have USDOT numbers? Would you also believe that these operators have more than 43,857 power units available?

Believe people! I ain’t been wrong yet. Or better yet, Download the Spreadsheet and see for yourself.

And you’re worried about 55 trucks!

Your spreadsheet is no longer available, or the link is busted.
May I ask how you got this info from the DOT records?

I can’t find a good report source on the gov’t DOT website to get info on Mexican-based trucking firms.
