MEXICANS' TRUCKS * Mexico Calls For U.S. to Resolve Cross-Border Trucking
Mexico City,DF,MEX -CNN/TruckingInfo (USA) -11 March 2010: -- In addition to U.S. lawmakers and stakeholders, Mexico has now urged the U.S. to come up with a plan to end the ban on cross-border trucking, according to reports by CNN... In statements released Tuesday, Mexico called on the U.S. to develop a resolution to the problem, which Mexico says is in violation of the North American Free Trade Agreement... Mainly legislative and legal tactics of U.S. labor, owner-operator and citizen advocacy groups who fear loss of U.S. jobs to Mexican drivers and argue that Mexican trucks will not be safe, the border isn't opened to state-traffic ... According to CNN, Mexico recognizes the fact that the U.S. does want to resolve the issue, but it wants to see more movement...* USA - Border dispute continues to hurt U.S. trucking interests
Washington,DC,USA -Fleet Owner, by Brian Straight -March 11, 2010: ... The U.S. Chamber of Commerce had a conference call the other day to highlight the effect the ban on trucks crossing the border has had in this country... The Chamber is claiming that more than $1.5 billion of manufactured products and $900 million in U.S. agricultural products, not to mention 25,000 jobs, have been impacted by 90 tariffs Mexico placed on U.S. goods in the past year. Not to mention the real crux of the problem: the violation of international law by the U.S... Whether you agree or not with the North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA), one result of that was to open the borders. When it comes to trucking, the U.S.-Mexican border has never been truly open. Pressured by the Teamsters and other groups who claim that Mexican trucks are not safe to be on U.S. roadways... It should be noted that we have no such problem with our friends to the north. Canadian carriers can drive into the U.S., make deliveries and continue back to Canada. What they can’t do is drive to New York to make a delivery and then to Chicago for a pickup... That system seems to be working !!!...Labels: mexicans' trucks debate
