The DOT has bitten off more than it can chew...

Concerning Mexican Trucking in the United States I saw an article that the Department of Transportation is having logistical concerns about the program. Here is a quote from the DOT that was in the article:Image via Wikipedia

“We found that FMCSA has not identified the specific process it will use to comply with five requirements for conducting 50 percent of the pre-authority safety audits (PASA) and compliance reviews onsite in Mexico.  FMCSA plans to abide by the law, but has not finalized where it will conduct the reviews,” the OIG’s office said. “We also found that FMCSA has not yet addressed certain issues for implementing the pilot program. Specifically, FMCSA has not (1) issued site–specific plans for checking drivers and trucks at the border, (2) established a system to verify driver and truck eligibility for the pilot program, (3) issued an implementation plan nor acquired electronic monitoring devices for use in the pilot program and (4) conducted pilot program training for inspection personnel at the border and within the United States.”

Let me sum up this bureaucratic doublespeak.............

1. The DOT doesnt have the resources to implement this
2. The number of Mexican trucks that are non regulation is staggering
3. The DOT and the White House are already getting Congressional backlash over endless regulation
4. This is a BIG HOT MESS..do we even have the personnel to check every truck coming across the border for drugs, safety, regulation...etc?
