The Mexico Cross Border program ends today---Here is a statement from the FMCSA--Was this a good idea, bad idea? Todd Dills from Overdrive will be on to discuss this during the first hour-Todd Spencer from OOIDA will be on the second hour ----------- Here is a statement, attributable to FMCSA, on the completion of the U.S.-Mexico Cross-Border Long-Haul Trucking Pilot Program: As required by statute, the Department of Transportation has completed a three-year trucking pilot program with Mexico. The purpose of the program was to evaluate the safety of cross-border long-haul operations, with 13 carriers participating in the program. Prior to making any additional determinations regarding cross-border trucking issues or specific carriers, the Department will await expected reports on the pilot program from the Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee and the DOT Inspector General. In the interim, based upon successful completion of the program, as well as a review of safety and inspection data collected during the program, the Department has converted the 13 participants to provisional or standard operating authority, allowing those carriers to continue to operate in the United States. On background: The 13 pilot carriers from Mexico will continue to undergo regular border inspections and be subject to all U.S. motor carrier laws and regulations.
