Would Ban Mexican Trucks ? * USA - House Measure After Pilot Program Ends
Mexican trucks would be barred from U.S. highways, and the Department of Transportation prohibited from enacting future cross-border programs for Mexican truckers
Washington,DC,USA -Transport Topics -30 July 2008: -- ... under a measure introduced in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee... The bill, introduced late Tuesday by Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), would prohibit DOT from granting “authority to a motor carrier domiciled in Mexico to operate beyond United States municipalities and commercial zones on the United States-Mexico border after September 6, 2008” unless the action is “expressly authorized by Congress"... The measure would also require DOT to halt its current pilot program for Mexican trucks by Sept. 6. That program, which began last September, allows a select number of Mexican trucking companies to operate outside of a narrow commercial border zone... The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee plans to vote on the measure tomorrow...Labels: mexicans' trucks debate
