MEXICANS' TRUCKS DEBATE * USA

* Trucks from Mexico
Washington, D.C.,USA -The Pittsburgh Tribune/Review (Pittsburgh,PA), by John H. Hill (The writer is administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation) -July 1, 2007: -- Every day, thousands of Mexican trucks operate in U.S. border commercial zones without incident. Still, this rigorously enforced program imposes stricter safety standards on Mexican operations in the U.S. than those reserved for Canadian operations... Both federal and state law-enforcement entities have been methodical in this program's preparations and meticulous in our commitment to meeting and exceeding every safety requirement. By the time our inspectors finish their evaluations, Mexican trucks, companies and drivers will be among the most thoroughly vetted on our highways... The fact that Dimitri Vassilaros wrote about the federal government's cross-border trucking demonstration program at the U.S.-Mexican border ("Another Mexican rigging?" June 22 and PghTrib.com), chose incoherent rhetoric over accuracy is a sign of just how hollow the arguments are against a program that will protect the safety of our highways, create new opportunities for U.S. truckers, lower the cost of consumer goods and give an added boost to our economy...
