Just when you thought things were calming down, OOIDA, refusing to accept the inevitable, finds it necessary to put forth more lies and distortions of the truth to further it’s agenda and coerce people into wasting their money on a membership.
Here’s todays “Special Report. from the imaginations of OOIDA
SPECIAL REPORT: Mexico plans to send trucks across border this month
In a business meeting on Tuesday, Mexican Transportation Secretary Luis Te?llez Kuenzler announced that “necessary conditions” in Mexico are a reality. He also said he had been informed by the U.S. Department of Transportation that 37 Mexican carriers have been evaluated as satisfactory.
T21 also reported that on Wednesday, Te?llez stated through a press release that the necessary conditions existed to develop the project and declared the Mexican government has decided to stick to the proposed start date, which is the last week of August.
That is OOIDA’s side of the story, and as always, anything they have to say about the Mexican truck issue is suspect, at best.
Here is the true story.
T21 is a national transportation magazine, very similiar to The Trucker and Overdrive and Truckers News to name a few.
Today, they published an article but the article in questioned says the exact opposite of what OOIDA is claiming.
The headline, Podría posponerse nuevamente programa piloto .
In english, this is “Pilot Program could be postponed again”! There is a slight difference in the version OOIDA is trying to foist off on the public and the truth of what was said.
Here is a rough translation of the Mexican article and you can see for yourself exactly what the Mexican Transportation secretary said. It is also mentioned that 32 American companies have expressed interest in operating in Mexico but to date, only 5 have begun the application process which is parallel to the FMCSA PASA.
Because the Secretariat of Communications and Transporte (SCT) still does not count on the authorization of a autotransportista company of the United States to enter Mexico, the beginning of the program pilot could be delayed again, considered the National Camera of the Motor transport of Load (Canacar).
Tirso Martinez explained that with base in the information presented/displayed by the SCT in the celebrated interinstitutional table of last Tuesday, of 32 companies of the United States that has shown interest to participate in the demonstrative project, only five have acceded the registry to come for the inspection of Mexican authorities, and to reach the corresponding authorization.
By this situation, Manuel did not add life advisory Go’mez of the Canacar, of not counting itself on any company that is at readiness to enter Mexico, the national carriers would do the own thing in the United States either. As one will remember the first proposal of this program was that the carrier Mexican entered as of April and six months later the Americans, exposition who were rejected by the House of Representatives and the Senate of that country, not being equitable.
In as much, on the part of the Mexican carriers who are interested in participating, 37 companies surpassed of satisfactory form the audits of the Motor Federal Safety Carrier Administration (FMCSA, by its abbreviations in English), despite not yet are counted on the authorization for some of them.
In its first stage, the program pilot contemplates that at the end of August or principle of September, 25 autotransportistas companies of each country enter both territories, beyond the commercial zone to be able to make the service door door, so that to the passage of four months the one hundred companies with which are completed to look for to make this project.
I keep asking myself when the opponent of this program will finally realize their efforts are in vain and instead of using the fear factor and the politics of terror, with a little old fashioned racism thrown in for good measure, and try telling the public the truth.
