MEXICANS' TRUCKS DEBATE * USA & Mexico
* One More Roadblock for Mexican Truckers
USA & Mexico -Staring at Strangers, by Jennifer J. Rose, in Morelia,Michoacán,Mexico & David Leffler in NYC.,NY,USA -15 March 2008: -- Estadounidense bureaucrats have ants in their pants once again over the matter of allowing Mexican truckers to traverse the highways and byways of Los Estados Unidos. First, there was the fret and worry over how safe those trucks might be. Would Mexican truckers be able to live up to the code of professional Estadounidense truckers? Now, they're in a dither about how well Mexican truckers will be able to speak and understand the English language... It's time for Los Estados Unidos to get real about the situation. The kind of truck which might make the daily milk run from Pichataro to Patzcuaro isn't going to be the one making the long-distance run, nor will the driver be some kind of idiot. Over-the-road truck drivers are an intelligent bunch, many of them more savvy than your average lawyer. They bear a lot more responsibility than many college-educated fools, too. Let's give 'em some credit without demanding proof that they can distinguish an adverb from a gerund...
Comment by Michael Dickson - March 16, 2008: -- I agree with you Jennifer. I have driven all over Mexico for going on 40 years and I find the Mexican drivers to be much safer drivers and WAY MORE courteous then the drivers in the USA. When I first started driving down here I was certainly not fluent in Spanish........and still see some signs I don't understand but that doesn't keep me from being a good, careful driver. It's just another smokescreen of discrimination from the USA!
