MEXICANS' TRUCKS * USA - International trucking to face stricter registration law

Starting Sept. 1, if Mexican companies want to drive in border commercial zone, they'll need to be registered either in Mexico or Texas, or to carry a special permit

El Paso,TX,USA -El Paso Times, by Louie Gilot -19 July 2007: -- International trucking is a highly-regulated field. And soon there will be one more rule... Texas legislators said they have closed a loophole in border commercial trucking with a new law taking effect in September... They said some Mexican carriers used to buy and register their trucks and trailers in states such as Oklahoma and Maine, and use them in the border commercial zones like El Paso. These trucks and trailers paid no tax to Texas... Mexican companies are exempt from registering their vehicles in Texas if they only operate in 20-mile border zone... This applies to companies handling "drayage," which consists of shuttling cargo from Mexico to warehouses in El Paso and turning it over to U.S. drivers who take it further inland...
