This will not only cost jobs, but be an absolute safety nightmare. Not to mention the smugglers are dancing with glee tonight. Mexican truck is first in delayed NAFTA program - Yahoo! News
just looked at the truck in the linked article, it's an almost brand-new Freightliner Cascadia, which is hardly a death trap. It may not be representative of every Mexican truck, but there are some pretty shitty trucks being driven by American drivers. I think the safety concerns are being overblown, my main concern is the potential of a drop in both industry pay and freight rates
I'm going to assume its the same for US drivers going into Canada, deliver and either leave empty, or pick up a load with a US destination. Canadian customs can be a [itch bay], so I can't imagine what coming out of Mexico with a commercial vehicle is like.
