Wise words from TheTrucker.com

Ya’ll might as well heed the words of our friends at The Trucker.com and quit your whining and accept the inevitable. It is time to concentrate on far more important issues in our industry
The other hot topic in trucking today is the Mexico truck demonstration project. We’re probably received more calls on this issue that any other this year.
First conceived in the 1990s as part of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the movement of Mexican trucks into the U.S. and vice versa is mandated by law.
Don’t go jumping on the Department of Transportation and FMCSA for this one. They are only implementing what the Congressmen you elected then passed and then-President Clinton signed into law.
The only way the program can be stopped is new legislation. Congress can pass all types of bills to deny funding for the program, but we suspect that if the issue ever reaches the Supreme Court, trucks will roll across the border on a permanent basis.
Enough said!
