Administration Plans to Open Southern Border
to Mexican Long-Haul Trucks

Safety Organizations Call on Congress to Hold Oversight Hearings Before Scheduled Opening -- Mexican Trucks Still Plagued with
Serious Safety Problems
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced today that it will open the southern U.S. border to 100 long-haul, interstate trucking companies from Mexico. In 2001 safety groups supported bi-partisan legislation (Public Law 107-87, December 18, 2001) adopted in the House and Senate that put the brakes on opening the border until basic safety measures and procedures were in place.
Among the benchmarks are requirements for Safety Audits at Mexican trucking company places of business to determine each motor carrier
