Policy concerns border truckers face new U S policy
American drivers fear job loss as Mexican fleets may replace them under the new motor freight policy, while Mexican firms struggle to fund fleet upgrades for tougher U S border inspections. President Bush approved broader highway access for Mexican trucks beyond the 20 mile zone, with NAFTA provisions guiding the move. Officials say Canadian trucks face different rules, prompting cross border tensions and debates among drivers about competition, English fluency, and inspection hurdles on the road toward full access planned for 2000.
