avatar you are wrong the mexican drivers now are allowed a 25 mile border buffer i have been to laredo, tx 1000 times and i know about this my reference is the new border opening from nafta.

They should be subjected to the same background checks as american and canadian drivers. They should be subjected to the same drug testing as american and canadian drivers. From my experiences in driving to Laredo and El Paso, I can tell you that their drivers and their vehicles do not meet the safety standards. One thing that always bugged me was when I hooked to a trailer to bring back to our yard that had been into Mexico, there were always bits and pieces missing... light covers... bulbs... air line seals... etc. It's like they maintain their own equipment by stealing parts from american and canadian trailers. Gee... what a way to operate !


mister ss
no, they have no business running their poorly maintained trucks in our country where there will be a lot more people killed because of the junk trucks they use and drivers who are not qualified to drive trucks, just another great way to smuggle in drugs, terrorists, and illegal aliens. Thank you Mr. Bush!.

They shouldn't be allowed in the USA - PERIOD!

No way. Mexicans generally have no qualms about driving drunk.

Imagine a drunk behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler....

The 25 mile rule is going bye bye, they will soon operate all of us and canada because of NAFTA. I ahve been to laredo and mexico and there is plenty of junk no stereo type kids!

Does it really matter what a driver's country of origin is if they follow the rules? It may not just be a matter of testing the driver if the vehicles are woefully inadequate in the field of safety equipment. And jeez Greenie and Mr S., have you even BEEN to a foreign country? If not, then stop stereotyping. Ask a German if they want an American driving on the Autobahn and many of them will die of laughter.

THATS A HORRIBLE THING TO SAY.

Mexican drivers bring the trailer to a border lot. American drivers pick up the trailer from there and deliver it to the final US destination. Mexican drivers don't come into the US.
