Since WE already have a lot of Mexicans driving American trucks, why not get a lot of Americans to drive Mexican trucks??
Wouldn't such balance the equation??

As soon as they get our wage down to .15 p/mile we will be.

At that rate, drivers then need to lobby for HOURLY rates for ALL HOURS Driving and On Duty/Not Driving, or park the trucks.
Of course there'll still be people willing to drive for $.15 cpm yet not very well nor very fast with all the limiters installed for safety.

The fact that there are people out there willing to work for that little, I cannot see lobbing for hourly wage being very productive.

We would ALL have to mark in on THE SAME DAY and refuse to move until LAWS are changed. It can be done, but with a great degree of difficulty.
