NORTHAMERICAN TRUCKS' TO MEXICO
* USA - El Paso firm blazes new NAFTA trails El Paso,TX,USA -El Paso Times,by Louie Gilot -30 Sept 2007: -- When the Department of Transportation started its binational trucking program, many on the U.S. side wondered why U.S. truckers would want to drive into Mexico... But Scott McLaughlin was interested... This month, McLaughlin's El Paso-based Stagecoach Cartage & Distribution became the first U.S. company to send a truck deep into Mexico... The truck, a 600-cubic-foot bulk tank filled with plastic pellets to be melted into disposable razors, crossed the border at Nogales, Ariz., and headed south to Obregon, near Hermosillo, about 370 miles from the border... McLaughlin, the company president, followed the truck in a rented car...
McLaughlin said the response to his test trip was overwhelmingly positive. Clients asked for quotes for Mexico service, and drivers volunteered for future trips... But McLaughlin has no immediate plans to send other trucks south... (Photos by Mark Lambie/El Paso Times: Above: Scott A.
