“In a move already angering some domestic carriers, the Department of Transportation confirmed at a press conference on Friday that in two months, more than 100 Mexican-owned and operated trucking companies will be given access to specified commercial zones in the United States.
Of those 100 companies, 70 of them already operate in a limited fashion in the United States, while the others have no operating experience on U.S. soil. Inspection teams from the U.S. have already begun looking at the Mexican trucks, and will ensure that the trucks and drivers meet the same safety, insurance, and driving history standards that are required by U.S. trucks.”
