Ninth Circuit Rejects OOIDA lawsuit over Cross Border Trucking Program

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals today dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association against the Department of Transportation in connection with the Cross Border Demonstration Project. The court ruled the lawsuit was moot because Congress recently ended the program. OOIDA immediately went into whining mode the ruling, but the association said it had faith that Congress will continue to place a high priority on the safety and well-being of the American public. (Make that read we will continue to bombard Congress with lies and misinformation to push our agenda) OOIDA contends the trucking pilot program had ….Read More

OOIDA - Good for a laugh on occasion

I couldn’t help but break out laughing, or as Stevie Sommers puts it, “chuckle”, listening to OOIDA and LandlineNow on XM-171 last Thursday, I think it was, when they brought up the almost dead subject of the Cross Border Program. I think Mark Reddig was talking with their Washington lobbyist about the status of the program and the comment was made; All of us at OOIDA are working full time to see this program is stopped in it’s tracks! Yep, 10 months into the program, and they’re working full time to stop a program that has been successful beyond even ….Read More

It’s one thing to try to recount a happening from news report and another to be able to listen to it as it unfolds. That is the case here with the oral arguments before the 9th Circuit in the Cross Border case. Feel free to download the file or listen to it on the site here and form your own opinion. Several things jump out at me and run counter to OOIDA’s suggestion that they will prevail in this case. Right out of the gate, one of the Justices asks the lawyer representing the Teamsters, Public Citizen and Sierra Club, ….Read More

So that’s over and done with, and truthfully, it is all anti-climatic. On Tuesday, February 12, the 9th Circuit heard oral arguments on the frivolous lawsuit brought before it by the Teamsters, OOIDA, Sierra Club and Public Citizen. The day started with members of the Teamsters showing their ass in a demonstration in front of the Federal Courthouse. The Teamsters claim 450 in attendance but other news sources put the attendance at around 100, a fact that photos of the event seem to sustain. At least a hundred Teamsters rallied outside the courthouse before the hearing. Teamsters carried signs that ….Read More

First Bozo and now Jimmy Hoffa. It amazes me how when desperation sets in, the bullshit intensifies. If you want to read the whole article, you can read his crap here. But we’re going to look at some excerpted paragraphs and show how this SOB has no morals when it comes to shading the truth. He’s talking of course, about the cross border program and the accident last week on the Pharr-Reynosa bridge here in Texas.

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
