I think that Mexican trucks entering the country is good and bad. If truckers cross the border to do business farther than 50 miles, the DOT should stop them and inspect the truck, log books, driver condition and bills. Get tough and don’t let them sneak by.

More Trucker Channels Needed
Because of the growth in trucking, one CB channel, Channel 19, is no longer sufficient. I’d like your help in promoting two new channels.
Channel 21 could be designated for Christian truckers and as a family channel for those who don’t care for profanity and unprofessional behavior. Channel 23 could be designated for Spanish-speaking truckers who will soon pour into the United States.
This way, everyone will have a place to talk and pass on information.

Remember When . . .
Remember when driving a truck was a respectable, professional position? Remember when all drivers would wave to each other out of respect? Remember when a load from California to New York paid $7,000? Some of us do.
