MEXICANS' TRUCKS DEBATE * USA -
* Mexican trucks show better safety records than U.S. counterpartsWashington,DC,USA -The San Diego Union Tribune, by Paul M. Krawzak -September 18, 2007: -- Mexican commercial carriers that have enjoyed a little publicized right to send trucks beyond a restricted U.S. border zone in recent years have a better safety record than their U.S. counterparts, federal transportation officials said Tuesday... The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said the carriers, who number 859, had only 1.21 percent of their drivers removed from service after they failed roadside inspections between 2003 and 2006... By comparison, the share of all U.S. truck drivers placed out of service after failing inspections – such as, for not possessing a valid driver license – was 7.06 percent for the same period... The figures, which are part of a larger study, are significant because they provide backing for the Bush administration's contention that a controversial pilot program allowing pre-approved Mexican trucks to travel throughout the United States is safe...
