Mexican truck plan draws fire - Cross-border program also would give access to U.S. carriers

摘要

The department of Transportations pilot program to allow a select group of Mexican trucking companies to operate beyond the commercial zones in the United States was greeted with a chorus of criticism and concern from labor and driver groups, safely advocates and legislators. The American Trucking Associations endorsed the move, emphasizing that expanded access by Mexican carriers was a commitment under the North American Free Trade Agreement and would allow reciprocal access to Mexico by U.S. carriers.
