Two separate lawsuits to stop the Mexican cross-border trucking program have now been merged into one lawsuit. One was first filed by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association and the other was by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Public Citizen, and the Sierra Club.

A judge with the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, DC, ordered that attorneys for the groups make oral arguments in the same courtroom on the same day.

This past July, OOIDA filed a lawsuit in the DC circuit against the DOT and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration asking the court to “enjoin, set-aside, suspend (in whole or in part) or determine the validity of the implementation of (DOT’s cross-border program).”

A second lawsuit against the DOT and FMCSA was filed in early September 2011 by Public Citizen and the Teamsters. That challenge was initially filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
