I don't see that happening tho...how are those trucks going to get back? Empty? I doubt that....I expect that there will be back hauls that will take freight from US hands. That's an assumption tho...does anybody know if these trucks will be allowed to pick up freight on the way back?
The example would be a Mexican doctor coming into a US hospital "AT HIS WAGES" and doing surgery here. The difference between Canada and Mexico is the VERY large wage difference. Canadian freight rates are similar to the US so they tend to keep the market steady so US drivers in Canada and Canadian drivers in the US don't upset the financial apple cart....allowing lo-cost Mexican drivers on US roads will drive down the rates...by the very free market principle you expound. And I don't want to drive this conversation too much further as it tends to bring in some rather outspoken people and it becomes a Mexican bashing forum and that is not my intent. |
They can take freight back that goes to Mexico, but not to the US. Just like Canadians. Same deal, we cannot touch your domestic freight. If we're in the states, either the load has to be coming from Canada, or going to Canada.
If we interstate, it's something like a $50,000 fine, loss of truck, and cannot enter the states for 8 years. Something like that. |
