    honestly, as a truck driver, I'd be more worried about driving into the interior of Mexico.

    We should retaliate by sending their citizens back.

    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

    Canadian drivers can't do that, so I don't think Mexican drivers will be able to, either.

    I think I would refuse any trips going into Mexico.

    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.
