WASHINGTON – Transportes Padilla, a Tijuana-based trucking company, is the third Mexican trucking company to receive authority to make long-haul deliveries in the U.S. as part of the cross-border trucking demonstration project, a Department of Transportation statement released late Monday afternoon said.
The company intends to operate three vehicles.
In the statement, FMCSA Administrator John Hill said, “Mexican trucking companies, vehicles and drivers are meeting or exceeding the tough standards in place for this program – as well as those in place for U.S. truckers – to maintain safety on American roads.
