First U.S. carrier hauls shipment into Mexico (The Trucker)
WASHINGTON – Stagecoach Cartage and Distribution, an El Paso-based trucking company, became the first U.S. carrier to haul a shipment across the U.S.-Mexico border, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced Friday.
“Today is historic. We’re giving U.S. trucking companies the opportunity to compete in a new market that they have never before been allowed to penetrate,” said John H. Hill, FMCSA Administrator. “These opportunities will help reduce costs for American consumers and businesses while increasing trade efficiency at the border and maintaining safety on America’s highways.”
According to FMCSA, “Every company, vehicle and driver participating in the program must pass a rigorous safety audit and inspection before being allowed to participate in the demonstration project. Checks on Mexican companies, vehicles and drivers are identical to, and in some instances more stringent than those on their U.S. counterparts.”
