Are you serious? I have been pulled over for "speeding" in Mexico. I was doint the speed limit. I was told to pony up $40 cash or I would be taken to jail. Do you think that money was turned in? Doubtful. There are thoudands of stories like this from tourists who go to Mexico. Bunch of corrupt cops. Their bribed by anyone willing to pay them to look the other way. I'm sure HOS is no exception.

You mean like the laws here where some low life driver gets to write off moving violations into other less serious offenses so they can keep polluting the highway? Dream on!

i dont think the canadians will haul as cheap as the mexicans.
i know alot of our big limber mills are are scrapped and removed because they cannot compete with the canadian government. for some reason the "world court" believes canada is entitled to half our lumber market.
the canadian born drivers are excellant and have good equipment and an effective dot
who is profitting from nafta?
mex trucking is not in the same league as the us and canada

How long have you driven for a Mexican trucking company to make the assessment?

You must have missed my post about the UNIONS suing the US Government for warning employers about hiring illegals... The teamsters are less that an unbiased source and of course they are a huge pyramid scam. The union drivers have been screwing their less senior "brothers" for years.

Ever been to any of the port cities or Coal Country to see some of the stellar operations there?

I thought I was being "ignored" by you? :P

Look up pyramid schemes and how they work and then get back with me on this. The few at the top make deals using the "chaff" at the bottom of the boards. They cut their brother's throats until there are no more throats to be cut.
