Its part of the north american union setup where we lose our national sovergnty.

Wait until the NAFTA superhighway is built.

In Texas its called the trans texas corridor.

But they keep renaming these freeway projects so they can vote on them again and fool the people.

Many people here on the FOX blogsite believe the gov loves them and wouldnt lie to them, so GOOD LUCK with your message to the people here my friend, but I hear ya.

I dont think you'll find the terrorist in the back of a rig.

You'll find the terrorists in washington dc.

Terrorism is a gov political tactic used to overthrow governments.

We are headed into a fascist dictatorship if the american people dont wake up to this.

Cuz of terrorism the gov spies on us now, it only gets worse, think about it.

Next month the gov is taking away our 2nd amendment right to own a gun. Thats suppose to be a God given too.

bad things coming in from Mexico? American government allowing it? Youre kidding!? :)

As the owner of a trucking company I am glad that jteamaz brought this point up.

For some reason there have been no REAL investigating reports on this issue. There needs to be.

Many company owners including myself have been watching the situation with great concern for years. Yes, years.

Some media reports would have the public think that trucks from mexico have not yet been allowed to run freely around our country. This is not true. Many slip through the "Strict" system of crossing the border. Once here they run the western states including Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Texas without worry or consequence. They run these states because there is little, if any, enforcement.

The claims by the D.O.T. and other regulating agencies that these trucks will have to meet standards of safety are also not true. The fact is they would like to inspect every truck coming from Mexico, but are only able to inspect 1 out 60 on average. Out of the 1 being inspected an average of 80% of the time there is something wrong that is passed because the officer inspecting the vehicles is hurried by procedure, or it may be near the end of his or her shift.

If a reporter would actually go out and do some digging, like reporters should do, the public would become aware of many FACTUAL issues regarding these illegal Mexican trucks that are currently running around our country. Do not for one second believe that they are coming. They Are Already Here and they have been for several years. Everyone needs to be concerned. We need to know where the presidential canidates sta

I don't know about other families, but this matters to me a whole bunch. wlkthruthesky, can you list which legislators ignored your inquiry? It's obvious all our elected reps have gotten "too big for their britches." Nothing like a short term in office to humble the proud.

Truther is correct in his statement that none of the current canidates will address this issue with real answers.

My company has sent letters to them all. We did the same in the elections for senators and state legislators. Arizonas Governor replied in letter form but not publicly. At this point it is just as unclear to her just how many are being allowed in currently. Until the issue is brought more to light so that some difference can be made in where any politician stands on the issue none of them really know what to say about it except to repeat what they are being told by the liars that advise them.

My belief is that if there was ever a time when company owners, all drivers, and the Teamsters Union NEED to get together on an issue this is the issue. The teamsters Union holds a mighty voice. Together with compnies and line haul drivers the voice of this powerful American industry has got to start speaking or no one can hear. Until the industry as a whole starts voicing concern those that represent us in Washington turn a deaf ear. And of course the Media seems to not find it an issue that needs to be looked into so that EVERYONE can know what needs to be known.

There are many many facts concerning this issue that are not covered by most media. And the politicains that support the issue keep many of the facts quiet.

One of the facts: How many people know that when this "super highway" is operational the actual Port of Entry for the trucks hauling goods from Mexico is to be located in KANSAS CITY? This is what the planners see as the halfway point between Canada and Mexico.

It is already being constructed. When it opens all the Mexican traffic coming to the U.S. using the "super highway" will not be subject to any of the so called checks until getting to that P.O.E.. It is a long way from the Mexican Border to Kansas City!

Getting into a company right now would certainly not ba a good business venture.

Luckily my contracts with customers are will keep the company running for some time. It takes good, trustworthy, competent, safe drivers and equiptment that is always in completely safe condition. Mexican trucks can not compete with that. Customer relations is also a top priority. Non english speaking trucking companies are not able to compete with that.

My customers are aware of the foriegn trucks that are constantly offering lower rates to move the goods that we, (my company and several others that I know of), move. To date the customers have not hired mexican trucks due to laibility and safety issues, as well as feeling as though the products being moved may not be at the destination, as planned, on time.

Many Grocery warehouses are part of my customer base. As anyone working with Grocery chains know the products being shipped on a regular basis to the warehouse are extremely time sensative. The trucks from mexico have not been able to meet those time sensative requirments.

I would like to have the opportunity to one day come to a local union hall to see what the Teamsters feel about the open border issue. Maybe in time we can all combine in some way to put a stop to the plans of allowing the foriegn trucks to take our livelyhood. All 70 of my drivers would stand with Union members without hesitation in this and other issues. Not just because of the money issues, but the safety issues as well. I would stand behind them 100%.

Not a problem. I own "Colli Star Stageline". Based here in Glendale. D.O.T. 1304245.

Colli is my wife, I of course am the STAR!

The only truck I run under that authority is the one I drive. The rest, 65, are leased to Universal Am Can out of Michigan. We pull 48 and 53' dry vans with 40 and the rest pull dropdecks and flat. My contracts are through Colli Star Stageline but are run under Universal's authority. Universal has many sister companies as well. Mason Dixon, Central Frieght, and a few others that my trucks contract with.

It was a business move I made in 1997 to cut costs of insurance.

My drivers are older, experienced drivers. Most have over a million miles. All have been with Colli Star for over 3 years.

I have been driving mainly OTR since 1985.I Started with the old Chauffers Lic. Purchased my first tractor trailer combo in 1989. Began running under Colli Star Stageline authority in 1990.

These days I stay in Phoenix most of the time. I'll take my truck out every couple of months so my wife and hound dog and me can take a "paid vacation".

Its only going to get worse. They plan on making the freeways you travel on "TOLL ROADS".
The state of Texas is under attack with this fight already. The freeways we already paid for with our tax dollars are going to become "Toll Roads". AZ news has already hinted towards this too.
My best advise is to check up on the alternative news about it on:
www.infowars.com
www.prisonplanet.com
www.truthnews.us

Those are the sources where the news is best but the main stream media when confronted with the truth dismiss the truth by saying its a "conspiracy".
