Howdy from Plainsville TX.
Just a quick update today. I woke up this morning in Utah, and drove 600+ miles to TX to drop a trailer. Hopefully my next load will take me home, but I kinda doubt it.
Anyhoo, for those of you who don't know, today is the first day Mexican nationals can legally drive commercial vehicles into the states to make deliveries. Yes Mexican licensed trucks and drivers can now cross the border and run in the States.
A Feb. article, today Sept. 1, the trucks started rolling across the border.

No I do not think this is a good idea, especially letting them drive hazardous material loads. Having spent some time in Laredo TX, which is on the Mexican border, and having ridden in a Mexican cab some years ago, the idea of these guys on American interstates scares me half to death.
Thank the President and the Senate for this one. The House tried to block it, with no success.
Putting Mexican trucks on American interstates on Labor Day weekend?? Sounds like a big bad accident waiting to happen.
Sorry for the rant, I think this is a really bad idea, especially with me sitting here in Texas.

Sounds like more rubber on the road. You know, like the kind that you left in Delaware or was it Virginia! Dad
