Clifford SingletonThis is one of the best blogs I have read dealing with the subject of Mexico and Mexican trucks.
It is obvious that the blogger knows what he is talking about and appears to be an expert on the subject discussed.

I have been a trucker in the United States for over 30 years now, and have seen the
changes in the field of trucking.
Back when the United States sined the NAFTA agrement the truckers in the United State
said that the Canadan trucker would take the American trucking jobs, well it did not
happen, the teamsters union were trying to stop the Canadan trucks from comeing into
the States.
Canada let the teamsters go into Canada, and then the Canadan trucks were allowed to
enter the States, this NAFTA problem is all in the teamsters union, Mexico will not
allow the teamsters into Mexico, and the teamsters want to keep the Mexican trucks
out of the USA.
At one time the truckers might have needed the union, but like all things there comes
a time when there not needed, thats the way the union is today, there a leach in the
trucking field, and they have want to keep the truckers and the American people misinformed
(keep them in the dark and spread lies)
I live in Mexico and still drive truck in the United States, I know some Mexican truckers
and there great people, there trucks are as good as ours are, they are safe drivers
amoung them and some bad drivers, just like the United States, (how maney times have you
seen a truck right on the bumper of a car, trying to get it to move faster).
I realy hope that the borader is opened up and Mexican trucks can come into the USA
and American trucks can come into Mexico.
I have mixed feelings for the Mexican trucker, if and when the United States finaly
abides by NAFTA, the Mexican trucker will be comeing into a hostle country towards
them.
Mexico do's not get much snow, so they most of them will not know how to drive on it
the truckstops will not lower the fuel prices for them, they can't eat at a reduced
price in the USA, (and they cant drive for less then it cost to drive) so i feel
that it is false to think that the Mexican trucks will take our jobs.
But think of the adventure that these drivers will have driving in a new land, that
they do not know.
Wake up Amercia, the teamsters are taking more the just the truckers union dues, there
costing us money.
