ssoutlaw has it right. They can haul a load into the US to say Chicago, but they cannot pickup a load out of Chicago bound for New York so that they can get a backhaul to Mexico out of New York. If they go to Chicago, they either get a backhaul out of there back to Mexico or they deadhead all the way home.

For the record, I ain't worried because my boss refuses to hire a Mexican driver and my wage ain't gonna go down. And just because I'm in a daycab doesn't make me a sissy jwb2021. I have the same license as an OTR driver and go thru the same trials and tribulations as them, my truck is just a tiny bit shorter without the sleeper on it.

 

i dono where you get our info but thats not true
they will be able to pick up in the us and deliver to the us on the same load!! check your facts before you write the issue off no having to go back to mexico they will have free rein of us hiways

 

MOO-larky... Quote that from the legislation or be considered another knee-jerk types who just hears the word "Mexican" and goes into fits.

 

None of us can figure out WHERE you get your info, you sound like a scared little boy. The sky is falling…lol MOOOOOOO, MOOOOOOOO, MOOOOOOO….lol I think the way you put sentences together tells us something though…lol A mind is a terrible thing to waste, educate yourself!!!

Oh, and by the way, the free reign you are talking about, is they are allowed to go past the 70 mile boundary they have NOW!!!
MOOOOOOOOOOO, MOOOOOOOOOO, MOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

 

If that were true, the Canadians would also be able to haul point to point in the U.S., which they can't.

It is called Cabotage;

Main Entry: cab·o·tage
Pronunciation: 'ka-b&-"täzh
Function: noun
Etymology: French, from caboter to sail along the coast
1 : trade or transport in coastal waters or airspace or between two points within a country
2 : the right to engage in cabotage

and it is illegal for Canadian companies as well as it will be for the Mexicans.

I do believe jwb either got this info from the CB or one of the doom and gloom groups that has popped up in recent weeks. Either way, it isn't true.

 

Most informed drivers know this, but there are a few like that guy that just make me think MOOOOOOOOOOOO, MOOOOOOOOO, MOOOOOOOO.....lol

 

This guy seems informed................. he gets his information at the truck stop lunch counter, which tends to get one in trouble. :lol:

 

I still say MOOOOOOO to him...lol
I think he missed a leter in his name, it should read JBWB2021....lol
Think about it for a minute...lol

 

Game. Set. Match.

 

Their lower cost of operations will lower demand for american workers.

Is it really that hard to figure out? American workers vs mexican workers... Mexicans typically compensated significantly less... hmmm.

Maybe you could expound on the virtues of NAFTA for us?
