Opposition to cross border program less than expected, but just as nasty

Friday, the FMCSA RELEASED CROSS-BORDER TRUCKING PILOT DETAILS and the reaction was basically “so what’s new?” except amongst the usual suspects who object to anything concerning Mexico. OOIDA Executive Vice President Todd Spencer released his usual whining rant making baseless allegations they’ve never been able to document nor prove ATA President Bill Graves issued a statement in support of the proposal. James P. Hoffa, President of the Teamsters Union who is usual first out of the box with his sophomoric rants about “unsafe” Mexican trucks and “unqualified” Mexican drivers, was suspiciously absent, however, the website, TEAMSTERS NATION chimed in with ….Read More

Licencia Federal de Conductor (Mexican CDL)

I’m sitting here tonight listening to the American Trucking Network and the Mexico bashing going on by Eric “Bubba Bo” Boulanger, a know nothing DJ who by virtue of a Class B CDL considers himself an expert on Mexico and trucking in general, and his buddy Rusty “Yoda” Wade, an owner operator who is spending the evening saying “bite me” anytime something is said about Mexico or Mexico trucking, and thought a quick post to once again combat and debunk their special brand of bullshit was in order. No databases, bogus CDL’s, unqualified drivers, unsafe rigs, all the normal crap ….Read More

Nativism & Mexenophobia taking over Trucking Radio

One of the most vile, racist and unconstitutional laws was passed and signed by Arizona governor Jan Brewer in the form of SB-1070, a law that has spawned a firestorm of protest. It’s a law that usurps federal authority for immigration enforcement and puts it in the hands of local and state authorities. The fear is, it will lead to racial profiling as it is targeted towards Hispanics. Governor Brewer claims it specifically prohibits racial profiling, and that claim is still to be determined, but one can’t overlook human nature, especially in Arizona where this law legitimizes the actions of ….Read More

"Channel 19" Trucking Radio Network with Bubba Bo

Boy howdy! It never ceases to amaze me the stupidity of people in a position to help others who insist on pushing their xenophobic agenda for their own satisfaction. We’re sitting in Gulfport Mississippi this evening, bored and listening to Eric “Bubba Bo” Boulanger on the what Bubba Bo refers to as “Channel 19 Trucking Radio”, aptly named for all the bullshit Bubba Bo has been spewing the past few nights. “Channel 19 Trucking Radio” formerly known as America’s Trucking Network is an overnight talk show aimed at truckers, which allows a handful of regular callers to come on air ….Read More
