[cref trooper-accused-of-on-duty-tryst-with-porn-actress-fired Any body remember this assklown, that we reported on several months ago?] Well, once again, Mexicotrucker.com got it right!

Why we need revised CDL standards, and now!

In view of all the comments from those not qualified to make comments about Mexican drivers, I got a good laugh out of this article. This trainer is barely potty trained and has no business even attempting to train anyone else. At best, he has 4 years of heavily supervised OTR experience. Go figure! On that day, according to police in Slidell, LA, Werner trainee Vera Shed drove a 2006 Peterbilt truck through the Slidell Home Depot parking lot. Shed attempted to make a U-turn at the back of the parking lot and head to the back of the building. ….Read More

My little web-bots have been busy bringing to our attention the stupidity spewing from the mouths of the opponents of the Mexican Cross Border Program, and it continues to amaze me that folks actually believe this stuff. But then, America, long ago, forgot how to think for itself. So what’s been happening since before Christmas when the Bush Administration chose to follow the law, as it is written, and abide by an agreement that we made in 1992, where we agreed to allow Mexican carriers equal access to our highways? Let’s take a look. International Brotherhood of Teamsters It was ….Read More
