Re: Mexican carriers want out of pilot program !!

THat's probably true, however, the story makes it clear their primary
concern in economic. The Mexican association doesn't want American
companies competing in Mexico. The headline suggests they are worried about
discrimination in the US, but the story mentions multiple economic impacts
in Mexico, like letting in higher paying trucking companies will drive up
costs for Mexican companies.

Amid all the media hysteria over the price of gasoline and the profits of
"Big Oil," one simple fact has been repeatedly overlooked: The oil
companies' earnings are just under 10 percent of the price of a gallon of
gas, while taxes take 17 percent. Yet who ever accuses the government of
"greed"?

"A trade association representing Mexican motor carriers has asked the
Mexican Senate to cancel the cross-border pilot program with the United
States.
"CANACAR has formally requested not to open the borders for trans-border
services and to have the pilot program suspended until conditions for a
fair
competitive environment are existing and that the Mexican trucking
industry
has the guarantee of not being subject to unfair inequitable and
discretional treatment by U.S. authorities," CANACAR National President
Tirso Martinez Angheben wrote in a press release."


Mexico has a pretty bad reputation for corruption. Perhaps they are
concerned going into a new market that they do not know which officials
to
bribe, so they are looking for some sort of exemption from American safety
standards.
