MEXICANS' TRUCKS * USA - OOIDA Seeks Court Ruling on Mexican Trucks
Truckers' Group Says Decision Could Influence Future Programs
San Francisco,CAL,USA -The Journal of Commerce Online, by William B. Cassidy -Apr 3, 2009: -- The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association wants a federal court to rule on the legality of the Bush administration’s crossborder trucking project with Mexico... Although the pilot project was shut down when Congress eliminated its funding last month, OOIDA fears some of its elements could resurface in a new crossborder trucking program being crafted by the Obama administration... The association argues that the former Transportation Secretary, Mary E. Peters, unlawfully granted Mexico-based carriers exceptions to following U.S. safety regulations... The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco asked OOIDA and the other litigants what effect Congress’s decision to pull funding for the pilot program would have on their lawsuit. Although some of the other parties said no decision is now required, OOIDA disagreed, saying a decision could help set future standards for safety and security... Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood, has said the Obama administration will submit a new crossborder trucking program to Congress for approval this month...(Photo: plancksconstant.org: Mex's Trucks)
