Default Mexico trucks

Apparently the fight isn't over, a couple of folks in our Govt. think it's ok to let them in now. Hoffa and the Teamsters are fighting hard to keep them out.

I guess the Congress members who think they are a-ok haven't been watching Border Wars on TV. They are stopping trucks all the time with drugs and illegals trying to sneak in.

One other thing to consider ... if they permitt them over the boarder .... watch out ! .. the one's I saw in El Paso drove those trucks like they were on a race track ... no respect for anyone else on the road .... Accidents will grow at a fast pace ... yikes either you move over or they will run you over ... geezzzz .

We've had 3 recent truck crashes here, all 3 were Mexican drivers, all 3 rolled over hauling trash. Luckily it was on exit ramps where the only thing they could hurt was the embankment and trees. Those guys scare the daylights out of me when I'm near them on the road. I look to get away ASAP, can't imagine what it would be like with trucks straight out of Mexico where they don't have nearly the same standards for vehicles and drivers. Yes our DOT was supposed to check them out on who and what equipment is allowed in but how much faith can you put in them for doing thorough checks?

All you have to do is look at the trucks and drivers that haul containers around Newark and Elizabeth N.J. to see what we will be in for
