Comments on: Dead-end road – Barring Mexican trucks violates NAFTA http://mexicotrucker.com/dead-end-road-barring-mexican-trucks-violates-nafta Sun, 20 May 2012 19:17:52 +0000 hourly 1 By: PMC http://mexicotrucker.com/dead-end-road-barring-mexican-trucks-violates-nafta/comment-page-1#comment-1566 PMC Sat, 07 Mar 2009 11:16:10 +0000 http://mexicotrucker.com/?p=2876#comment-1566 1. Most of the trucks in the program have established US domiciled companies which will continue to us Mexican trucks with dual registration and Mexican drivers. All nice and legal. 2. The 350 + Mexican carriers that were grandfathered in in 1982 will continue to operate as they have for the past 30+ years without restriction and their statistics will continue to be better than US carriers! Those are the facts! 3. Any Mexican carrier, driving any type of commercial vehicle, even the junk drayage rigs that cross trailers, are allowed and will continue to be allowed to transit the US, without restriction if their loads begin in Mexico and have a Canadian destination. Those are the rules! 4. Any Mexican carrier can apply for authority and receive it to travel to any specific destination in the US on a regular basis, without restrictions imposed by the Cross Border Program! 5. There is nothing to prevent the FMCSA from opening the border entirely and allowing any Mexican carrier access to the US market! Get used to it! Fortunately, when that happens, FMCSA has indicated that ALL carriers applying for authority will have to undergo the thorough PASA that the program participants underwent. That is a good thing. For the US and for Mexico! If they open the border, another good thing will be the 350+ Mexican carriers who were "grandfathered" will have to undergo the same PASA to continue operations! You and others need to get your facts straight and think for yourself instead of letting OOIDA and James Hoffa tell you what to think! 1.

No, I am not an OOIDA member. I wouldn't waste my time nor money on that worthless bunch of lying ass klowns. You know well I do not live in the US nor am I hiding from anything or anybody. Nor am I Mexican! Picking on a defenseless 99 pound Commie? I don't think so, but if I were, would it be any different than your absurd, obnoxious, totally irrelevant comments about Mexico, which show your total ignorance of the country or the people? No difference at all! Threaten all you want, but in the end, people like you and other pseudo American's who wrap yourself in the flag and call yourself patriots, don't follow through, unless it is someone weaker than you who you can intimidate. And I sir, am not one of those! G;day! Well Daniel, You continue to show your stupidity!
