    first Mexican truck into the interior U.S.

    My god don't some of you understand we have a agreement with both Mexico and Canada, it's called NAFTA. We let Canadian trucks in and made all kinds of hoops for trucks from Mexico. As for this crap about drugs and gangs coming to America, people better wise up there here now. All the gangs in...

    Drug testing for van drivers is a company thing not a CDL thing. I say this because, if I drove for myself and not for LS I would not be drug tested since I would not be a CDL holder. (remember under 10K GVWR) Now if you pull hazmat that's different then you fall under the CDL rules and...

    first Mexican truck into the interior U.S.

    OVM, I have read truck drivers in Canada complained but not here in this country. What people are complaining about now i that they might be hijacked if they truck into Mexico, no proof but fear. Fear is a ugly thing it can get the best of you. BTW if Mexico puts the same rules on us as we...

    first Mexican truck into the interior U.S.

    Those tanks on that truck are the same most in this country. I had a 1998 Volvo that had 2 150 on the truck. Companies like Swift alway buy with smaller tanks so they can put more freight on the trailer.

    first Mexican truck into the interior U.S.

    To Paullud if you never have been in Mexico and only at the border then you would not know by OOIDA or the Unions that they have newer trucks and even the older trucks are in better shape then what I see every day in the U.S. As for the 4 straps legal WLL 5000 LBS per strap and you only need...

    No place in Canda changed anything NAFTA related. Whether you know it or not the speed limit in Canada is 100K max period, Therefore a limiter in Canada is legal, they are just making trucks obey the law, even if they don't do it to cars As for the English it has been a rule before NAFTA...

    Trucker Beaten, Load Hijacked, Truck Burned

    OOIDA misleads everone on this issue, because they say Mexican trucks are POS but they use the border trucks for their stories not the line haul trucks. They claim driver in Mexico can run 24/7, Guess what that isn't the rule, but if it was then that is up to Mexico for that rule, not the U.S...
