MEXICANS' TRUCKS * USA - Audit of cross-border program begins
Washington,DC,USA -eTrucker -14 Dec 2007: -- The U.S. Department of Transportation's Office of Inspector General is beginning an audit of President Bush's cross-border trucking program that Congress mandated in the appropriations bill passed in May... The office says the audit's objectives will be to determine whether:
* Sufficient mechanisms exist to determine whether the project is hurting motor-carrier safety.
* Sufficient federal and state monitoring and enforcement exist to make sure participants are obeying all laws and regulations.
* The project involves a representative and adequate sample of Mexican carriers likely to haul deep within the United States.
Audits aside, the future of the cross-border program -- vehemently opposed by the Teamsters and the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association -- is uncertain...
