DEBATE * USA/Mexico - Keep on Truckin’
It’s time to take another step toward full NAFTA implementation and welcome a trucking system that makes North America economically stronger and more efficientArlington, Iowa -The Truth About Trade & Technology (Des Moine,IA), by Tim Burrack -16 Mar 2007: -- ... It was the 19th-century equivalent of sitting on an airport runway for six hours... Such wasteful delays wouldn’t be acceptable today. Yet we permit something very much like it when it comes to North American trucking... That’s why a new pilot program, administered by the Department of Transportation, makes so much sense: It will remove protectionist barriers that currently forbid well-qualified Mexican long-haul drivers from operating on American highways... This is an innovation that should have happened years ago. Under NAFTA, the United States was supposed to lift restrictions on Mexican trucks in 2000. Yet the prohibitions never went away, in large part because opponents of free trade raised concerns about the safety of Mexican trucks... If Mexican trucks aren’t safe, they obviously shouldn’t gain access to American roads...
