If it helps American conpanies to be more competitive...that in itself will maybe offset any lost driver jobs....I mean tho car are assembled in Mexico quite a few parts are made here and in Canada...at least it is still the same continent.... I think the main concern right now is not to focus...

Bet there will be more Mexicans losing jobs then US drivers...all those warehouse people in Laredo and other crossings that commute across the border to work on the US side...bet they aren't happy about this to a degree... Yes this industry, like any industry will change and adapt....

There is a big jump of opinion that the Mexicans will work cheaper....on some runs yes they will, just as we do....but if they are real business people/owner/operators the rates will be pretty darned close....

They/SS should use one or 2 of them extra trailers on site they built for Katrina that are all over the place...we paid for them too...

Good for him Lisa!! How many times people have posted about not getting paid because a fleet owners in not getting paid or has a streak of breakdowns...too bad I say...NO excuse...a good fleet owner will have cash reserves and/or a line of credit to tap into if needed....

Yeah and I'll bet the first OTR carriers will be American ones...:eek:...like Swift and Warner.....they'll just transfer trucks to Mexico and plate them there...and hire Mexican drivers. It is what I would do...

LOL..whats left? injectors?...gotta keep in mind...the system has 631,000 miles on it....they don't last forever...The last thing I want to do is break down under load...I've broke down once in 11 yrs under load....not a bad record...

I do however think farm subsidies have out grown the usefulness.....when corn yields per acre have increased nearly 4 fold over the years....the farmers are making more then ever....they don't really need the handout....
