The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and the Teamsters sent a joint message to the U.S. International Trade Commission this week, urging the adoption of interim rules to implement parts of the U.S. Mexico Canada Trade Agreement, which was approved earlier this year.
The prominent industry groups allege that weaker regulations imposed on Mexico-based cross-border trucking companies have allowed them to steal U.S. jobs and profits.
“Because Mexico-based trucking companies and drivers are not held to the same, rigorous U.S. safety and security regulations, they are endangering the American public and taking away jobs and profits from American drivers and carriers,” OOIDA President Todd Spencer said in a statement, adding that Mexico-based operators were also a larger threat to the American driving public.
