[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 839524, member: 17969"] Well moreluck glad you asked. Barack has done NOTHING about it. Its one of the things I am upset with him over. For two years, his congress and the new congress have bogged down on other issues and the issue of mexican trucks has gone un-noticed. Unfortunately, the republicans have control of congress now, and its highly unlikely they will sponsor a bill to fix this problem and for the democrats, even if some did sponsor a bill in the house, it would never pass as the votes would go right down party lines with republicans voting against and democrats voting for. Lifting the ban on mexican trucks entering the usa has effectively killed the LTL business and large frieght. Many trucking companies during the bush administration filed for BK or closed because of the lifting of the ban. OBAMA could, (IMO) ask congress to once again stop the trucks and turn over the loads to american truckers as a "job" creator, but it would be a hard sell. Corporate lobbyist will make sure those mexican trucks enter freely. Peace. [/QUOTE]
