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:Seal of the United States Department of Transp...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?

The Burden of Federal DOT Regulations Is Hurting Carhaulers...

Carhaulers are a small distinctive segment of the transportation industry. Regardless of our size and specialization, we are still subject to the trials and tribulations of the average trucker since we fall under the same regulations.

Recently the White House is proposing seven new regulations that WILL cost the transportation industry billions. I can tell you that those billions are going to strain the economy beyond what it can bear.

There is already a shortage of carhaulers (as well as other truckers). Couple this with increased costs it is safe to say the cost of moving goods will become so expensive that the public wont be able to afford cars to drive business for car carriers.
