Quote: Mexican Trucks Win Approval to Go Beyond U.S. Border (Update1)
By John Hughes
Sept. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Mexican trucks for the first time have greater leeway to operate in the U.S. under a trade agreement after the U.S. government cleared a company to begin hauling goods within days.
Transportes Olympic of Apodaca, Mexico, won approval yesterday and plans to use two trucks to carry cargo beyond a 25-mile zone inside the U.S. border, said John Hill, who leads the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The trucker was the first of 100 that may gain the authority in the next year.
``This long-awaited project will protect public safety on American highways as we work to both save consumers money and help our economy,'' Hill said in a statement. | Bloomberg.com: Latin America |
