There's not one single reason we should allow those mexican rattle traps on our roads and a million of why we shouldn't.

We don't need no steenking brakes!

Sayonara to the U.S. trucking industry as we know it.

[sgtbono2002]

We have enough junk American trucks on the road without adding Mexicans driving older used trucks we took off the road. Have their drivers got a required American CDL permit? Can they pass an American CDL lincensing test? Have they got proper Insurance? Will they pay cash for fuel or use a Mexican credit card?

Mr Bush's policy on Mexican immigration is bad enough now without having their junk trucks on the road.This article mentions on site safety inspections in Mexico. Will this be done by American inspectors ? I can see an opportunity for graft by the inspectors that will become shocking.

And the Longshoreman's Union as well.

"And the Longshoreman's Union as well. "

Speaking of which, where are they? Why aren't they down at the border raising sand about these issues? Strange, ya reckon they were paid off?

The Teamsters Union has fought NAFTA since the 1990s, concerned that the ultimate plan was to undermine union trucking as well as independent truckers who are owner-operators.

Why don't the teamsters go after Afscme or the aflcio, these others unions openly support a comprehensive guest worker program. They see dollar signs and a way to get more union workers down the road.

It is even worse if you are sitting at a red light, and one of them rear ends you. " No money....no blakes......no money no blakes"

Sayonara to the U.S. trucking industry as we know it.

And the thousands upon thousands of American families that depend on that work for their livlihood...

As the free-traitors would probably say, "Just hauling goods that Americans won't haul."....../sarc

[1rudeboy]

Actually, this free-trader can say without equivocation to the Teamster truckers that hauled my steel: eff you, and you still owe me roughly 15 thousand dollars.

[OB1kNOb]

Why do Teamster truckers owe you $15K for hauling your steel? Is there not a legal remedy available in your circumstance if conditions warrant? Just wondering.

[1rudeboy]

Lost commissions and bonuses. My company collected its damages, but since mine were based on sales, I was SOL.

[OB1kNOb]

Ouch! I'd be cussing them too. Legally, can you contend that you suffered damages too from the freight hauler or would your company frown on any such personal action?

[1rudeboy]

A number of immediate problems: 1. actual damages difficult to prove, 2. company counsel not willing to get involved, 3. private counsel would likely advise to sue my employer, etc. It was easier just to find a better job.

[OB1kNOb]

Ahh, yes. Company counsel. I unfortunately have to work with them on a daily basis in my line of work. They should all be flogged weekly just on general principles. My condolences.

[1rudeboy]

I really don't mind. His duty is (was) to the corporation, not little ol' me. With all the cross-suits that would inevitably occur, he would've been unable to represent me anyway.
