Dangerous Truckers

Vote Follows Reports of Mexican Truck Explosion That Killed 34 People, Injured 150 Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa urged the Senate to block funding for the Bush administration's illegal Mexican truck program. Hoffa said the program threatens highway safety and national security. The danger posed by trucks from Mexico was made clear by the truck explosion that killed at least 34 people and injured 150 in Northern Mexico on Sunday. A vote to block funding for the pilot program is expected to occur in the Senate on the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 11. "Today is the sixth anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil," Hoffa said. "I don't see how any patriotic American could vote to allow these dangerous trucks to cross our borders and travel freely throughout our country." "We don't know who's driving these trucks and we don't know what they're carrying," Hoffa said. "Weapons that could be used in a terrorist attack might be in the backs of these trucks.

[MrJahrelle]

all truckers park for a year and see how the world bow down to our feet.Gas,food,clothes and building supplies let the cars haul it.I bet fuel will be free and truckers will be glorified.People will be willing to give anything to get trucks back on the road ugly or not

@fastone10000 and even then, most just need some paint....

Mexican and Canadian trucks roll across the same scales, are inspected by the same DOT bears as American trucks. WTF is the argument here?? Frankly, I'm glad to see this old rigs rolling and hauling instead of dying in some auto graveyard rusting away.

And how is this dangerous exactly? Oh, let me guess. You're probably a member of OOIDA. OOIDA is so fucked up in their hatred towards Mexican carriers, that they see passed the thousands of violations American truckers get everyday. Don't tell me Mexican trucks are dangerous until you can pass a CSA inspection yourself.

@fastone10000 Because if those were American trucks the driver would have been put out of service and fined.
