NAFTA: Mexican truckers to drive cargo into US interior

NAFTA: Mexican truckers to drive cargo into US interior...The North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, included a provision that the U.S. and Mexico would allow each other's trucks to haul cargo across the border for delivery anywhere inside the other country. To comply with NAFTA, the Obama administration in April proposed a three-year pilot program with requirements for Mexican truckers that include a preliminary safety audit, purchase of U.S. insurance, English proficiency for drivers, truck inspections for every border crossing for at least the first three months, an 18-month probation period and a three-month renewal period for safety inspections after permanent authority is granted.
