Mexican Truck Pilot Program

Mexican Truck Pilot Program

On March 11, 2009, President Obama signed into law the “FY09 Omnibus Appropriations” bill. That legislation included a provision that removes funding for the Mexican trucking pilot program, which terminated the pilot program.

On March 27, OOIDA President Jim Johnston wrote a detailed letter to President Obama and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood asking them to suspend their efforts to develop a new program at least until Mexico raises their trucking regulations and enforcement efforts to U.S. standards.

On April 1, Jim Johnston met with Secretary LaHood and other stakeholders to express concerns about Mexico’s lack of safety, security and environmental regulations. Secretary LaHood intends to draft a new cross-border pilot program to present it to President Obama.

CANACAR, the largest Mexico-based trucking association, has filed a “Notice of Arbitration” against the United States government for violating trucking-related provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The brief submitted by CANACAR admits that Mexican drivers make significantly less money than U.S. drivers and contends Mexican motor carriers should be able to use that economic advantage in competing with U.S. carriers. They claim Mexican carriers have lost billions of dollars due to the U.S. government’s NAFTA violations.

 To BAD MEXICO!!!! This program"NAFTA" should have been nipped in the "bud" before it even started! It is just another way for the "Mexi's" to sneak into the U.S.A.and for illegal drugs to be brought into the 'States. NOW with their new program in Mexico on drugs, it is going to be even harder to keep the drugs out of here. THAT black jerk that is trying to be president of the U.S.A., needs to be taken out to sea and made shark bait out of along with all the rest of the "SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS" in AMERICA!!! LIKE it or NOT!!!
