A load of concern over Mexican trucks – Foes of their presence on U.S. highways cite safety. Can these rigs meet our standards?
Tagged: border, MexicoPosted on: October 3rd, 2007“When a big rig carrying explosive chemicals in Mexico blew up several weeks ago and killed more than two dozen, it set off alarms among critics of the Bush administration’s program to allow trucks from south of the border to move goods anywhere in the U.S.
Was an accident of this magnitude a sign of a dangerous, under-regulated Mexican safety system?
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the U.S. agency that regulates big rigs, has been pushing for more than a year to open up U.S. highways to Mexican trucks delivering goods originating in Mexico. The U.S. promised this action under the North American Free Trade Agreement, which went into effect in 1993.”
