Has the border with Mexico already been open?

Question

I heard that we have allowed Mexican trucking companies to come into our borders and deliver goods. I knew there were plans for this, but has it already happened? Anyways would they have to have an American drivers liscence?

Answer 1

Yes, it has already happened and I'm glad about it..... it was about time!!!! it was unfair that american trucks could come in our country but ours couldn't enter the USA.... they are gradually accepting them in now, as they start complying more and more with the conditions imposed by the americans. However, this was specified in the NAFTA since 1994 so I guess it took WAY TOO LONG to happen.....

No, they don't need an american driver's license, they just need to comply with certain rules (polluting emissions, vehicles in good conditions) to be allowed in.

Answer 2

No, they do not need to have U.S. drivers licenses.  I am an American, living in Mexico, and I do not need to have a Mexican drivers license.  Tourists from other countries also do not need to have American drivers licenses to drive in the U.S.

Answer 3

To a degree the government checks the truck very well but yes we do now trade more with Mexico.
